Abstract Inclusion complexes of slightly hydroxypropylated amylose with organic guest molecules have been investigated by means of c.d. spectroscopy and microcalorimetry in aqueous solution. From these results, the structure of the complexes and the mechanism of their fomation are deduced. It is concluded that amylose can adjust its helix conformation to the shape and structure of the guest molecule included. Investigations about intramolecular and intermolecular crosslinking of amylose indicate that the complexing behavior of amylose can be manipulated specifically.
