摘要: Schizophyllan (SPG) is a natural β-1,3-glucan that forms triple helix (t-SPG) in neutral aqueous solutions and t-SPG can be denatured to single chains (s-SPGs) DMSO or alkaline solutions. Exchanging the for water leads renaturation of helix. We have reported hydrophobic molecules form complex with s-SPG when they are present process. Some these, example poly(dA) polyaniline, were found aromatic amino moieties. This report demonstrates whether interact other compounds such as anilinonaphthalene sulfonic acid (ANS) derivatives. Enhanced fluorescence intensity red-shifted UV absorption spectra observed mixture 2,6-ANS 2,6-TNS. In circular dichroism measurement, positive Cotton effects appeared after mixing 2, 6-ANS s-SPG. When proton was replaced by methyl group used intramolecular hydrogen bonds, any spectral changes not observed. These results indicate ANS derivatives plays key role complexation. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Chem 46: 1440-1448,
