Chitin is a modified polysaccharide that contains nitrogen; it is synthesized from units of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (to be precise, 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucose). These units form covalent β-(1→4)-linkages (like the links between glucose units forming cellulose). Naizvozvo, chitin inogona kurondedzerwa se cellulose ine imwe hydroxyl boka pane imwe monomer yakatsiviwa neboka reacetyl amyline. Izvi zvinobvumira kuwedzera kwehydrogen bonding pakati pemapolymers akavakidzana, zvichipa chitin-polymer matrix kuwedzera simba. Mubvunzo: Chii chinonzi zita re polysaccharide yakagadziriswa iyo Hofmann yakawana muna 1929?
