Notes
“It is a linear copolymer with homopolymeric blocks of
(1-4)-linked β-D-mannuronate (M) and its C-5 epimer α-L-guluronate (G) residues,
respectively, covalently linked together in different sequences or blocks. The
monomers can appear in homopolymeric blocks of consecutive G-residues
(G-blocks), consecutive M-residues (M-blocks), alternating M and G-residues
(MG-blocks), or randomly organized blocks.”
