Abstract excerpt
Alginates are commercially valuable and complex polysaccharides composed of varying amounts and distribution patterns of 1-4-linked β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G). This structural variability strongly affects polymer physicochemical properties and thereby both commercial applications and biological functions. One promising approach to alginate fine structure elucidation involves the use of...
