The molecular-weight distribution of glycosaminoglycans.

چکیده
1. A rapid and sensitive method for the accurate estimation of the molecular-weight distribution of keratan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate isolated from adult bovine nasal septum and intervertebral disc is described. The method utilizes gel chromatography of reductively labelled glycosaminoglycan and end-group estimation of number-average molecular weight for each fraction across the peak of eluted glycosaminoglycan. 2. Chain-length distribution data obtained by this procedure are used to evaluate mechanisms of chondroitin sulphate biosynthesis.

The chemical constitution of the proteoglycan of human intervertebral disc.
Proteoglycan was prepared from three pools of normal human intervertebral discs by extraction with buffered 4M-guanidinium chloride followed by CsCl-density-gradient ultracentrifugation. Chromatography on agarose (Bio-Gel A-150m) and on DEAE-cellulose suggested a single polydisperse proteoglycan species. The intrinsic viscosities of three preparations were 166, 122 and 168 ml/g. After degradati...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycan fractions from human arteries presenting diverse susceptibilities to atherosclerosis have different binding affinities to plasma LDL.
The topographic distribution of atherosclerotic lesions is influenced by biochemical factors intrinsic to the arterial wall. In the present work we have investigated whether the composition/chemical structure of glycosaminoglycans constitutes one of these factors. Normal human arteries were obtained at necropsy, and in order of decreasing susceptibility to atherosclerosis, consisted of the abdo...

Low molecular weight heparin-modified isoliquiritigenin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle (LMWH-ISL-SLN) was developed for injective application. The morphological observation, particle diameter and zeta potential of LMWH-ISL-SLN were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a Malvern Zetasizer. Its entrapment efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL) were determined by ultracen...
متن کاملIsolation, fractionation, and preliminary characterization of a novel class of sulfated glycans from the tunic of Styela plicata (Chordata Tunicata).
The sulfated glycans in the tunic of Styela plicata differ from the glycosaminoglycans of animal tissues and also from the sulfated polysaccharides isolated from marine algae. The ascidian glycans occur primarily as three fractions that differ markedly in molecular weight and chemical composition. The high molecular weight fraction encompasses a broad range of molecular weights but is chemicall...
