Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) as long, unbranched polysaccharides are major components of the extracellular matrix. Many studies provided additional evidence of a specific binding between mediators and sulfated GAG, at which the sulfation code—which means the number and positions of sulfate groups along the polysaccharide chain—plays an important role.

通过电喷雾电离离子阱质谱法表征定义的硫酸化肝素样寡糖

糖胺聚糖 (GAG) 作为长而无支链的多糖是细胞外基质的主要成分。许多研究提供了介质与硫酸化 GAG 之间特异性结合的额外证据，其中硫酸化代码（即多糖链上硫酸盐基团的数量和位置）起着重要作用。
