Advances in Biopolymers Molecules, Clusters, Networks, And Interactions

The necessity to better understand the functionality and nutrition of biopolymers in foods and to replace synthetic macromolecules with polymers derived from natural resources in order develop a sustainable economy has been an impetus for research on structure/function relationships and applications for these natural materials. Because of their ability to aggregate, associate, interact and form networks, systems containing biopolymers are extremely complex and elucidating structure/function relationships in these systems is difficult. This symposium series book covers selected recent research and developments involving elucidation of networks, protein-polysaccharide interactions; and isolation, characterization, modification and applications of biopolymers.American Chemical Society, Meeting Staff is the author of 'Advances in Biopolymers Molecules, Clusters, Networks, And Interactions', published 2006 under ISBN 9780841239593 and ISBN 0841239592.
