Synthesis and solution-phase conformation of the RG-I fragment of the plant polysaccharide pectin reveals a modification-modulated assembly mechanism.
The syntheses of pure RG-I fragments of key plant matrix biomolecule pectin using a counterintuitive late-stage convergent cis-glycosylation has allowed detailed analyses of their solution-phase conformations, metal binding affinities, pK(a) values, self-assembly equilibria, and diffusional kinetics...
