This amount of water also corresponds to the two molecules of water of crystallization per molecule of trehalose. |
Among them, the most effective in preserving a more native-like structure are the disaccharides sucrose and trehalose in dry films and the polymer dextran in wet films. |
We present elastic and inelastic incoherent neutron scattering data from a series of trehalose glasses diluted with glycerol. |
Other studies reveal the properties of glasses made by one particular sugar, trehalose, in reducing the anharmonicity of slow vibrational modes of embedded proteins. |
In this case a solution that was 0.9 molar in trehalose and sucrose was examined for a sample at known spacing as described for water. |
Maximal survival was obtained after drying protoplasts with a mixture of sucrose and raffinose, while pure sucrose and trehalose were somewhat less effective protectants. |
