Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all ...
Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust their ...
The authors thank SASTRA Deemed to be University, Thanjavur, for infrastructure and research support. This work was primarily funded by DST NIDHI PRAYAS, which facilitated the execution of key ...
Unlike proteins and nucleic acids, carbohydrate polymers (glycans, oligo- and polysaccharides) are frequently highly branched and often adopt multiple conformations in solution, complicating their ...
A recent article published in ACS Central Science introduced a bioinspired polymer system containing carbohydrates for efficient and selective removal of heavy metals. The researchers synthesized ...
A squirt of this polymer binds with cadmium, forming a cloudy precipitate, and then a little bit of acid releases the heavy metal, redissolving the polymer. Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a ...
