The Crystal Structures of A‐, B‐ and C‐Polymorphs of Amylose and Starch
Abstract
The crystal structures of the A‐, B‐ and C‐polymorphs of amylose have been determined through a combination of fiber x‐ray diffraction analysis and computer‐based structure refinement. The three structures correspond to the naturally occurring A‐, B‐ and C‐starches. A‐ and B‐structures differ in the crystalline packing of the helices and the water content. The C‐structure is a mixture of A‐ and B‐unit cells and, therefore, intermediate between the A‐ and B‐forms in packing density.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
