A schematic depicts the molecular architecture of an alginate hydrogel network. Interwoven polysaccharide chains form a hydrated three-dimensional matrix, with green nodes representing divalent cation (Ca2+) crosslinks that connect guluronate (G) and mannuronate (M) blocks along the alginate backbone. In hierarchical terms, monosaccharide residues constitute polymer chains that assemble into a bulk hydrogel material. In biomaterials science and polymer biochemistry, this network retains water and provides soft mechanical support while allowing diffusion of small solutes in an aqueous environment.
