✦ Synopsis

A theoretical analysis of the kinetics of pcriodate oxidation of nigeran from Aspergillus niger revealed that, whereas 78% of the 4-linked n-glucopyranosyl residues were present as isolated singlets (with 3-linked residues in both neighbouring positions), the remaining 22% were present as isolated doublets.

Sequences of more than two contiguous 4-linked residues were not detected.
