Proteoglycans

This volume is acomprehensive and up-to-date collection of strategies, reproducible methods, and protocols for the in-depth analysis of Proteoglycans (PGs) and their glycan part, the GAGs. Chapters are divided into three parts detailingGAGs in biological specimens, protocols for theevaluation of thein vitroandin vivoeffects of PGs/GAGs,and protocols forcompounds related with the metabolic enzymes, epigenetic regulation, and PGs/GAGs-based inhibitors.Written in the format of the highly successfulMethods in Molecular Biologyseries, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and methods, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Cutting-edge and thorough,Proteoglycans: Methods and Protocolsaims to provide information on theelucidated the structural and functional aspects of the complex matrix macromolecules such as the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.
