Coil to double helix transition for a polysaccharide

Abstract

ι-Carrageenan segments can achieve an ordered conformation in a process which resembles the polypeptide and nucleic acid transitions already known, thereby showing for the first time that intramolecular cohesion between sugar residues can be sufficient to outweigh solvation and polymer-conformational entropy in aqueous solution.
