  Hyaluronan and Its Edifices as Atomic Elements in Nuclear Tests
  Author(s): Mavin Louis*
  
  Hyaluronan is a straight sugar biopolymer composed of a single disaccharide of -D-glucuronate (GlcA) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc). Unlike other glycosaminoglycans discovered in humans, such as chondroitin/dermatan and heparan/heparin, GlcA monosaccharides in hyaluronan are not subjected to enzymatic epimerization to -L-iduronate (IdoA). Furthermore, unlike the glycosaminoglycans chondroitin/dermatan sulphate, heparan sulphate, heparin, or keratan sulphate, hyaluronan is not enzymatically sulfated. While these characteristics make hyaluronan less challenging to work with than the other glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronan is still a highly versatile particle... Read More»
