Abstract:It has been known for two centuries that starch turns blue upon exposure to iodine as well as the combination of iodine and iodide. Starch contains branched-chain polysaccharides (amylopectin) and linear polysaccharides (amylose), the latter a polymer of a-D-glucose units joined by a(1à4) linkages. Amylose forms a linear helix with 6 a-D-glucose units per turn (i.e., one "amylose ring") and one iodide atom bound maximally per turn. Despite extensive work, suitable quantitative data of iodide-amylose binding se… Show more
