Abstract:
Bone proteoglycan was extracted and the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) components identified. Chondroitin-4-sulphate was the major GAG detected and represented 93.8% of the total GAG extracted. In addition, hyaluronic acid (1.3%), dermatan sulphate (3.1%) and heparan sulphate (1.8%) were identified as minor constituents.
