Abstract: Abstract Experimental measurements indicate that the Gibbs energy change is negative for the transfer from water to liquid N-methylacetamide of all the amino acid side chains [J.Biol.Chem. 261 (1986) 7220]. The rationalization of these data… read more here.

Abstract: Curdlan, a linear β-1,3-glucan, was reacted with glutaric anhydride and heptanoyl chloride to afford thermoplastic curdlan esters (CrdE(HepGlu)) with a carboxylic acid side chain. CrdE(HepGlu) with a degree of substitution of the glutaric acid monoester… read more here.
