Background:

  • The study of protein-polysaccharide interactions in semidilute systems emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
  • Interdisciplinary interest spanned matrix biology and the development of novel separation techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an account of research trajectory stemming from hyaluronan characterization.
  • To explore the fundamental principles governing protein-polysaccharide interactions in solution.

Main Methods:

  • Characterization of connective tissue polysaccharide (hyaluronan).
  • Theoretical development in areas including gel filtration and polymer solution equilibria.
  • Investigation of molecular exclusion and sieve effects in polysaccharide networks.
