Abstract
A CURIOUS phenomenon has been noted in recent work on the electrophoresis of sodium carrageenate. This polysaccharide occurs in the red seaweed, Chondrus crispus, and is composed mainly of d-galactose sulphate units linked in the 1–3 positions. Cations associated with the sulphate can become ionized to make the molecule a polyelectrolyte.
