Abstract
Glucan dendrimers (GDs) were synthesized by using a branching enzyme. Spherical GDs of different molecular weights were obtained and had a narrow particle size distribution. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements showed that the radius of gyration of the GDs was 4.2-14.6ânm in aqueous solution. The SAXS profiles of GDs with small molecular weights exhibited scattering behavior similar to that described by the hyperbranched polymer model, and tended to resemble that of a sphere as the molecular weight increased.
