Abstract:Polysaccharides of marine origin, for example, agarose (Ag) and alginic acid (Alg)-based new nano-size monoamido amino acid derivatives are synthesized and their protein-like characteristics are evaluated. Two new agarosebased nanosize amino acid derivatives are obtained by partial amidation of agarose succinate half-ester (Ag-SA; DS 0.95) employing aliphatic acyclic and cyclic diamines, for example, 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (HDA) and trans-1,4-cyclohexanediamine (CHDA), named Ag-SA-hexamethylenemonoamido (AEA… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
