Abstract
⺠Pectins are viewed as multi-block copolymers of at least homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan-I. ⺠It is a matter of debate as to the way in which blocks of the two polymers are interlinked. ⺠A first hypothetical model suggests a linear connection between homogalacturonan and the rhamnogalacturonan-I backbone. ⺠A challenging model proposes homogalacturonan as a side chain of rhamnogalacturonan I. ⺠A more complicated model in which the previous two are accounted for is here proposed.
