Excerpt

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (Chapter 16) interact with a variety of proteins. This chapter focuses on examples of binding proteins, methods for measuring glycosaminoglycan-protein interaction, and information about three-dimensional structures of the complexes. Hyaluronan, a nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan, also engages in biologically important protein interactions, and this subject is covered in Chapter 15.
