Branching in High Molar Mass Synthetic Amyloses

Wyatt Technology has published an application note on branching in high molar mass synthetic amyloses. Amylose is an occasionally-branched biopolymer and, together with amylopectin, the hyper-branched component, a constituent of starch. Determination of branching in amylopectin on the basis of amyloses may be performed with the help of synthetic amyloses. Synthetic amyloses from enzymatic (phosphorolytic) reaction were checked for their linearity.
