Alginic acid is a polysaccharide that functions as a stabilizer and gelling agent in various experimental applications. It interacts with divalent cations, such as calcium, to form cross-linked gels, which can be utilized in the immobilization of enzymes and cells for biotechnological applications. Its mode of action involves the formation of a physical barrier that can protect sensitive substances from degradation, while allowing for the diffusion of molecules through the gel matrix. Its ability to form stable gels under mild conditions makes it a versatile component in the development of novel materials for various experimental applications.
