Galactosylation of Cyclodextrins and Branched Cyclodextrins by α-Galactosidases
Transgalactosylated derivatives of cyclodextrins (CDs) and glucosyl and maltosyl CDs (G1- and G2-CDs) were synthesized by alpha-galactosidases from coffee bean and Mortierella vinacea (M. vinacea). The structures of the transfer products were analyzed by FAB-mass, 13C-NMR and methylation. Coffee bean alpha-galactosidase transferred a galactosyl residue

Cyclodextrin nanofibers by electrospinning [PDF]
We have demonstrated that cyclodextrin (CD) (a non-polymeric system) can be electrospun into nanofibers by itself; methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) nanofibers were electrospun and it was observed that the success of the electrospinning of the CD nanofibers strongly depends on (i) type of solvent, (ii) CD solution concentration and (iii ...

Phosphated cyclodextrins as water-soluble chiral NMR solvating agents for cationic compounds
The utility of phosphated α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins as water-soluble chiral NMR solvating agents for cationic substrates is described. Two sets of phosphated cyclodextrins, one with degrees of substitution in the 2–6 range, the other with degrees of ...
