Synthesis, structural characterization and properties of water-soluble N-(gamma-propanoyl-amino acid)-chitosans

Water-soluble peptide-chitosans were obtained by reaction of low-molecular-weight chitosan, having a low degree of acetylation, with peptide substituents under mild conditions. These peptide substituents were prepared by standard peptide chemistry from 3-bromopropanoic acid and tert-butyl esters of...
