Abstract
Asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4), when coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS), is a very powerful technique for determination of the macromolecular structure of high molar mass (branched) polysaccharides. AF4 is a size fractionation technique just as size exclusion chromatography (SEC), nevertheless can overcome some crucial problems found in SEC analysis especially in starch like structures. This paper describes a detailed investigation of the macromolecular structure of two groups of well-defined synthetic amylopectin analogs – synthesized via an in vitro enzyme-catalyzed reaction using the enzymes phosphorylase b from rabbit muscle and Deinococcus geothermalis glycogen branching enzyme (Dg GBE). Size, molar mass distributions and structural data were studied by AF4 coupled with online quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) and multi-angle light scattering (MALLS).
