Carbohydrate Chemistry and Synthesis

High and dry: The synthesis in vitro of longer-chain cellulose with more than 100 anhydrous glucopyranose units in the polymer has been performed by a new technique for glycosynthesis. This method uses enzymatic polymerization with enzyme/surfactant complexes that act in nonaqueous organic media.
