摘要: Abstract The distribution of glucuronic and iduronic acid within the chains anticoagulantly active inactive beef lung heparin was investigated. A fraction with an average molecular weight 19,500 isolated from heterodisperse mixture then separated into components by affinity chromatography. Each sample linked through its reducing terminus to tyramine, reduced sodium borotritide, bound covalently Sepharose via azo bridge. treated a limited amount HNO2 degraded fragments were removed. sections chain contiguous original detached insoluble matrix reaction dithionite. recovered polysaccharide fractionated according size on Sephadex G-200 each uronic in individual fractions determined. Inactive showed constant percentage all fragments, i.e. about 8.9% total acid. With increased distance chain, ranging 9.5 20% acids. These results suggest that biosynthesis involves unique reactions or specific processing macromolecule.
