General
This book brings new perspectives to extracellular matrix studies, embodying an approach to proteoglycans and glycosa-minoglycans in which their function is directly linked to their chemical morphology.
Dermatan sulphate proteoglycans (PDSs) are bifunctional cross-linking molecules, acting as tissue organizers. Molecular recognition between dermatan sulphate chains is discussed, as part of a chemical overview of the primary, secondary and tertiary structures of dermatan sulphate and its protein carriers.
Contents:
- Part I - Nomenclature of Dermatan / Chondroitin Glycans and their Proteoglycans
- Part II - Chemistry of Glycan Chains
- Part III - Structures of the Protein Cores
