Anion Effects on Carrageenan Helix Stability by AlexRivera is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the anion specificity of lower charged carrageenans, K-carrageenan and furcellaran, focusing on how different anions affect the coil-to-helix transition. Experimental results show that anions stabilize the helical conformer in a specific order, with thiocyanate and iodide ions demonstrating strong binding to the helical structure. The findings are analyzed using the Poisson-Boltzmann cell model, revealing intrinsic binding constants that are significantly higher for these anions compa
