Chitosan, a biodegradable, natural polysaccharide derived by the partial deacetylation of chitin, shares structural similarities with the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) present in the native extracellular matrix (ECM).
Our finding that partial deacetylation of Smc3 due to Hos1 overexpression is accompanied by reduced sister chromatid cohesion (Beckouët et al., 2010) is consistent with this.
Chitosan produced from partial deacetylation of chitin was reacted with monochloroacetic acid to form carboxymethyl chitosan.
Chitosan is a cationic biopolymer obtained from the partial deacetylation of chitin.
Chitosan is derived from the partial deacetylation of chitin, a natural polysaccharide composed of β 1 → 4 linked N-acetylglucosamine.
Chitosan was obtained from the partial deacetylation of squid pen β-chitin and xanthan was acquired from Fluka.
It is not widely present in the environment but can be easily obtained from the partial deacetylation of a natural polymer chitin [3].
Chitosan (β-(1 → 4 -linked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy d-glucopyranose and 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose) is a natural polymer obtained from partial deacetylation of chitin.
Chitosan is a polymer derived from partial deacetylation of chitin.
