Conformational studies of β‐glucans [PDF]
Biopolymers, 1971 AbstractSteric and energy contour diagrams have been plotted for disaccharide‐like and for helical structures of linear β‐D‐glucans having (1 → 2), (1 → 3) and (1 → 4) linkages. The allowed conformations constitute only about. 4% of the total conformations, indicating that the freedom of rotation of glucose residues is highly restricted in all the ...
