Properties
Description
Isocyanate-activated chondroitin sulfate (isocyanate-CS) serves as a reactive intermediate through urethane bond formation, facilitating efficient conjugation with hydroxyl-containing molecules.
Glycan Name
Chondroitin sulfate
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of repeating disaccharide units. Each unit consists of:
N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) (β1→4 linked)
D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) (β1→111 linked)
