The structure of all carrageenans consists of a strictly alternating masked repeating unit of 1,3 linked α-D-galactose and 1,4 linked β-D-galactose with variable proportions of sulphate. The α-linked galactose residue occurs as α-3-6-anhydro-2-sulphate.The images were kindly provided by Prof Mike Guiry from Cork who runs ‘The Seaweed Site’.
