    Abstract : Dermatan sulphate is a prominent feature of several different proteoglycans and occurs in almost every tissue of the body. It is an unbranched polymer containing the repeating disaccharide unit of N-acetylgalactosamine and D-glucuronic acid or L-iduronic acid. READ MORE

  4. 2. Formation of Iduronic Acid during Chondroitin/Dermatan Sulfate Biosynthesis

    Author : Emil Tykesson; Lungbiologi; []
