The results are interpreted in terms of the branching structure and conformation of the modified starches: all findings can be understood in terms of the various influences of molecular size, composition and flexibility.
CPSs from five strains of C. neoformans serotype A, designated 6, 15, 98, 110, and 145, which had previously been isolated and characterized as to molecular size, composition, and binding properties, were evaluated for relative antiphagocytic potencies.
Heteropolyacids systems (HPAs) exhibit a wide range of molecular sizes, compositions and architectures.
Molecular size, codon composition, and electrical charge are represented by the ms, cc, and ec factor scores, respectively.
Analysis of the molecular size and monomer composition of the enzymatically released fibers showed that they were rich in galactose and uronic acid indicating that the solubilized fibers were mainly made up of galactan branched rhamnogalacturonan I type pectin polymers.
The significant differences in molecular size and sugar composition among CPSs of these strains of C. neoformans serotype A may partially explain strain differences in virulence and biological properties of the organism.
They found five basically orthogonal factors adequately summarized the latent variable structure and denoted these vectors by polarity, accessibility, and hydrophobicity (PAH); propensity for secondary structure (PSS); molecular size (MS); codon composition (CC); and electrostatic charge (EC).
These channels enable transcellular movement of fuel, metabolites, signalling molecules and electrolytes, with preferential transfer of material that is governed by molecular size, charge and connexin composition (Harris, 2007).
The five factor scores (pah, pss, ms, cc, ec) are associated with the biological properties: polarity, accessibility, and hydrophobicity; propensity for secondary structure; molecular size or volume; codon composition; and electrostatic charge; respectively.
Although other polymers can be plasticized, PVC is unique in accepting and retaining plasticizers of widely varying chemical composition and molecular size.
Many different heteropolysaccharides (HePS) are secreted by LAB regarding sugar composition and molecular size but they show few common structural features, which raises questions about the relationship between structure and texture.
