On the specific role of coions and counterions on κ-carrageenan conformation

The role of the nature and concentration of counterions and coions on the conformation of κ-carrageenan is discussed; particularly, that of iodide compared with chloride based on the results obtained from optical rotation, viscometry and microcalorimetry. Iodide gives a more stable helical conformat...
