Linkage of cellulose

We have seen that the glycoside linkages of cellulose are broken by the action of acid, each cellulose molecule yielding many molecules of D-(H-)-glucose. Now let us look briefly at reactions of cellulose in which the chain remains essentially intact. Each glucose unit in cellulose contains three free —OH groups these are the positions at which reaction occurs. [Pg.1127]

Suppose human intestinal bacteria were genetically altered so they could hydrolyze the P linkages of cellulose. Would the results be beneficial Explain. [Pg.260]

The jS-glycosidic linkages of cellulose make cellulose chains essentially linear they do not tend to coil into helical structures as do glucose polymers when linked in an a(l — 4) manner. [Pg.1012]
