| COMMENT |
Amylose is a helical polymer made of 濠?D-glucose units, bound to each other through 濠?1闂?) glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is one of the two components of starch, making up approximately 20-30% of the structure. The other component is amylopectin, which makes up 70闂?0% of the structure. (REF |
