A NEW chemical synthesis of cellobiose by a simple and direct method has been accomplished by Stacey and Gilbert. The structure of the repeating unit in cellulose is therefore well established, and ...
Enzymes synthesizing the bacterial capsular polysaccharide (CP) are attractive antimicrobial targets. However, we lack critical information about the structure and mechanism of many of them. In an ...
Polysaccharides are made by polymerizing more than 10 monosaccharide molecules through glycosidic bonds. The molecular weight of polysaccharides is relatively large, usually consisting of hundreds or ...
