Three xylan fractions, obtained by stepwise precipitation with ethanol, were analysed by 75-MHz 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Diad frequencies, determined from the C-2 resonances, show that the (1----3)-linkages are interspersed throughout the chain rather than grouped contiguously. This type of distribution is in agreement with a random coil conformation and with the constancy of the optical rotation in solvents of different ionic strength and chaotropic power. These diad frequencies were compared with the theoretical values calculated for a random distribution from the ratio of (1----4)-:(1----3)-linkages in the 1H-n.m.r. spectra, and from the methylation analysis for one of the fractions.

D012624 Seaweed Multicellular marine macroalgae including some members of red (RHODOPHYTA), green (CHLOROPHYTA), and brown (PHAEOPHYCEAE) algae. They are widely distributed in the ocean, occurring from the tide level to considerable depths, free-floating (planktonic) or anchored to the substratum (benthic). They lack a specialized vascular system but take up fluids, nutrients, and gases directly from the water. They contain CHLOROPHYLL and are photosynthetic, but some also contain other light-absorbing pigments. Many are of economic importance as FOOD, fertilizer, AGAR, potash, or source of IODINE. Macroalgae
D014990 Xylans Polysaccharides consisting of xylose units. Xylan
