Biosynthesis and disaccharide structures of CS/DS. The biosynthesis pathway of CS/DS (A) is a multistep highly regulated process, resulting in an extensive range of disaccharide structures [the more common disaccharide CS structures (B) and all possible sulfate modifications (C)]. CS, chondroitin sulfate; CS/DS, CS/dermatan sulfate.
