Structure of HS chain and approaches for analysis.
A, the structural domains (NS-, NA/NS-, and NA-domains) are defined with regard to the distribution of GlcNS and GlcNAc units. B, schematic representation of methods used to elucidate HS domain structure. For further information, see “Results” and “Experimental Procedures.” The symbols used are defined below the scheme. GlcA, GlcUA; IdoA, IdoUA.
