1. Development and application of strategies for the analysis of modification patterns in chondroitin and dermatan sulphate
Sammanfattning : Chondroitin (CS) and dermatan sulphate (DS) are socalled glycosaminoglycans (GAG) that are covalently attached to various type of proteins forming a subgroup within the diverse proteoglycan (PG) family. The PGs studied in this thesis are mostly extracellularly located and include aggrecan, biglycan and decorin. LÄS MER
2. Biosynthesis of Dermatan Sulphate. Enzymatic mechanism and role of cytokines
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. On the binding of growth-promoting polyamines to proteoglycans: Implications for growth-regulation and polycation-mediated gene transfer
Sammanfattning : Initial investigations were directed at studying the interaction between polyamines and various glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The polyamine spermine displayed binding to dermatan sulphate (DS) and heparan sulphate (HS) with similar (Kd, 3.9 x 10-4 M) and higher (Kd, 0.37 x 10-6 M) affinity, respectively, than to DNA.

4. The uterine proteoglycan expression in pregnancy and labor
Sammanfattning : Objective: Protracted labor is a common clinical problem causing maternal and fetal complications. It is the leading indication for caesarean sections throughout the world, and emphasizes our need to be able to control labor. LÄS MER
5. Naphthoxylosides Investigations into glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis
Sammanfattning : Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are members of a family of polysaccharide structures consisting mostly of repeating disaccharide units. Most GAGs are attached to specific serine residues in proteins to form proteoglycans (PGs). LÄS MER
