Water in Crystalline Fibers of Dihydrate β-Chitin Results in Unexpected Absence of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding
The complete crystal structure (including hydrogen) of dihydrate β-chitin, a homopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine hydrate, was determined using high-resolution X-ray and neutron fiber diffraction data collected from bathophilous tubeworm Lamellibrachia satsuma. Two water molecules per N-acetylglucosam...
