A Modified System of Nomenclature for Red Algal Galactans
Abstract
A nomenclature system for red algal galactans based on their chemical structures is proposed. The terms «agaran» and «carrageenan» are suggested as the generic names for two possible diastereoisometric extreme structures of carbohydrate backbone built of alternating 3-linked β-D-galactopyranose and 4-linked α-galactopyranose residues and differing only in the absolute configuration of the 4-linked α-galactose residues (L- or D-, respectively). «Agarose» and «carrageenose» are the generic names for the corresponding backbones having 3,6-anhydro-α-galactopyranose (also L- and D-) as the 4-linked residue. All the other known regular structures may then be designated as substituted (methylated, sulfated, etc.) derivatives of agaran and agarose (agar group polysaccharides) or carrageenan and carrageenose (carrageenan group polysaccharides)

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.
