Abstract
Long alpha(1-4)-linked glucopyranose branches in the starch polysaccharide amylopectin can be detected by the specific binding of an anionic amphiphilic fluorescent probe. The probe forms spermidine-stabilised micelles in water resulting in fluorescence quenching. By extracting the probe from the micelles polysaccharides are detected in a "turn-on'' fluorescence assay.
