What is the difference between Amylose and Cellulose backbones?

GENERAL

LUX HPLC UHPLC CHIRAL

Last Updated: 8/9/2014

While both form helical structures that are maintained in coating, the amylose can be described as more tightly coiled.  The looser cellulose helical structure may more readily accommodate enantiomer interaction.  Practically, this results in different selectivity even if the same chiral selector is substituted, as the 3-dimensional orientation around the CSP will differ.
