Ai. Usov et Ao. Chizhov, THE USE OF REDUCTIVE AMINATION FOR SEPARATION OF M-CHAINS AND G-CHAINS OF LAMINARANS, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(10), 1993, pp. 1738-1742
A method for the separation of M- and G-chains of laminarans (reserve
beta-glucans of brown algae) is proposed. G-chains were converted to t
he corresponding pyridylamino derivatives by treatment with 2-aminopyr
idine and dimethylamine-borane complex followed by the separation of d
erivatized and underivatized chains by ion-exchange chromatography on
Spheron S-1000.
