title: Hydrophilicities of amylose and natural cellulose are regulated by the linkage between sugar rings.
abstract: Comparative studies of single molecule force spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that natural cellulose is more hydrophobic than amylose at the single-chain level, implying that the hydrophobicities of these polymeric isomers are regulated by only one parameter in the chains, the linkage between the sugar rings.
