Abstract
Glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine show different behaviors towards ozone in aqueous medium: while glucosamine reacts relatively fast thro ugh ozone attack on the amino group, N-acetyl glucosamine is much more resistant, resembling the reactivity of glucose. Results obtained ind icate that a mechanism of viral inactivation via ozone attack on the N -acetyl glucosamine of the viral capsid is not kinetically favored.
