Single crystals of amylose complexed with isopropanol or acetone were prepared by adding these precipitants to a metastable aqueous solution of amylose. With both precipitants, similar micrometre sized platelet crystals were obtained. They gave indistinguishable electron diffraction diagrams which could be indexed in orthorhombic unit cell, with a = 28.26 .ANG., b = 29.30 .ANG., c = 8.01 .ANG. and in a space group P212121 or P21212. Within the unit cell, the amylose chains are organized in antiparallel pairs of parallel 65 amylose helices occupying 70% of the cell content, the remaining 30% consisting of isopropanol/acetone and water, with an estimate of 10 isopropanol/acetone molecules for 52 water molecules per unit cell. If the crystals are suspended in pure isopropanol at various temperatures or in pure methanol at room temperature, they undergo a de-solvation process that ultimately converts them into VH amylose. De-solvation with isopropanol left the crystals intact whereas the methanol, they became cracked during shrinkage. An explanation is proposed for such difference.
