Abstract
This chapter examines new methods for the structural analysis of glycosaminoglycans. Recent advances in instrumentation and the availability of specific enzymes that act on these acidic polysaccharides has brought the sequencing of these complex molecules within reach. An understanding of structure is important in defining the true biological role of endogenous glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. A second benefit of improved analytical capabilities is that it provides a better understanding of the metabolism of these complex biopolymers.
