The structure of human skin fibroblast heparan sulphate has been examined by
depolymerization with heparinase, which specifically cleaves highly sulphated …

Highly purified, beef-mucosa heparin, shown to be free of contaminating
glycosaminoglycans and having relatively high proportions of linkage-region components …

A new method of determining the oligosaccharide composition of commercial
glycosaminoglycan heparin is described in which heparin was first depolymerized using …

The substrate specificity of heparosan N-sulfate D-glucuronosyl 5-epimerase from a mouse
mastocytoma was examined to determine the effects of N-acetyl and O-sulfate groups on …

Heparin and heparan sulfate can be cleaved selectively at their N-sulfated glucosamine
residues by direct treatment with nitrous acid at pH 1.5. These polymers can also be cleaved …

The structure of rat liver heparan sulfate (HS) has been investigated using a combination of
(a) chain scission with specific reagents,(b) disaccharide compositional analysis, and (c) …

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans were isolated from 23 species of 13 phyla of invertebrates and
characterized by their electrophoretic migration in three different buffer systems coupled with …

This study presents a comparison of heparan sulphate chains isolated from various porcine
and bovine tissues. 1H-NMR spectroscopy (500 MHz) was applied for structural and …

Like most glycosaminoglycans, heparin is an alternating copolymer of a uronic acid and an
amino sugar, and its structure is commonly represented by its prevalent disaccharide …

Heparan sulphate and heparin are chemically related alpha β-linked glycosaminoglycans
composed of alternating sequences of glucosamine and uronic acid. The amino sugars may …
