22. Throughout this paper, we used for the anhydrous β chitin the monioclinic cell parameters a = 0.485 nm, b = 0.926 nm, and c (chain axis) = 1.038 nm, γ = 97.5 ° as defined in ref 8. For the chitin hydrates, we used the parameters defined in ref 7. For α chitin, we used the orthorhombic cell parameters a = 0.474 nm, b = 1.886 nm, and c (chain axis) = 1.032 nm as defined in ref 6.
