Abstract

The CD spectra of aqueous solutions of homopolymeric sodium oligogalacturonates and D-galacturonans of polymerization degree n = 1-64, as well as lower calcium oligogalacturonates (n = 1-5) were measured. Chiroptic properties were correlated with the polymerization degree in terms of optical superposition of monomeric unit increments. Interpretation of obtained data, respecting further physicochemical properties entitles to conclude that the conformation of macromolecules of D-galacturonan in solution is close to helical structure.
