Evidence for Egg-Box-Compatible Interactions in Calcium−Alginate Gels from Fiber X-ray Diffraction
Open accessAbstract
The structures of guluronic-acid-rich alginate in the acid and calcium forms were investigated using fiber X-ray diffraction. Data recorded for alginate fibers in the acid form show a repeat along the chain axis of c = 0.87 nm, a value that is in agreement with the one measured by Atkins et al. (Biopolymers 1973, 12, 1865) and contradicts a repeat of 0.78 nm recently suggested by Li et al. (Biomacromolecules 2007, 8, 464). In the Ca2+ form, our observations indicate that the junction zone involves dimerization of polymer chains through Ca2+ coordination according to the egg-box model. For reasons that are not understood at present, coordination of the divalent cations reduces the ability for the lateral crystallographic packing of the dimers. A proposed model for the junction zone involves polymer chains packed on a hexagonal lattice with a lattice constant a = 0.66 nm. Random pairs of chains form dimers through coordination of Ca2+ cations. Further lateral interaction between dimers is mediated by disordered Na+ and Ca2+ cations, water molecules, and hydrogen bonding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
