Interaction of immobilized VEGF165 and HBD with solute GAG derivatives as determined by SPR. Binding levels for the interaction of (a) polymeric and (b) oligomeric GAG to VEGF165 and HBD (c,d) are displayed [adapted and modified from33]. All values represent the mean ± SD of n = 3 and are given as relative to baseline response and corrected for the respective molecular weight of GAG derivatives. Two-way ANOVA: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 vs. respective treatment; ##p < 0.01; ###p < 0.001 vs. (a) HA or (b) HA dp4. Predicted recognition of psHA dp4 by VEGF165 dimer. (e) Initial complex VEGF165 twisted/psHA dp4. (f) Refined VEGF165 twisted/psHA dp4 (40 ns). (g) Refined VEGF165 straight/psHA dp4 (40 ns). VEGF165 is depicted in cartoon style, and relevant interacting residues are shown in sticks and colored by atom type. The RBD is shown in gray (dark and light representing each monomer), and the HBD is shown in blue (dark and light representing each monomer). psHA dp4 is shown in stick representation and colored by atom type.
