Computational insights into octyl-D-xyloside isomers towards understanding the liquid crystalline structure: physico-chemical features
ABSTRACT: We applied density functional theory to study octyl-D-xyloside isomers in order to explain the features responsible for the liquid crystal mesophases. Compared to a glucoside, the xylose headgroup has a proton instead of the hydroxymethyl group on C5. Thus, a xyloside has a reduced headgro...
