In a second set of experiments it was shown that on treating OSM with 0.1 N NaOH at 4° the decrease of bound hexosamine with time was linear. Finally, glycopeptides prepared by trypsin (EC 3.4.4.4) or pronase action on OSM were treated with LiBH<sub>4</sub> in tetrahydrofuran.

Similar differences with age have been described for the fine structure of the chondroitin sulphates composing human hyaline cartilage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100163,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Mucoproteins and Mucopolysaccharides","volume":"101 2","pages":"Pages 141-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0926-6534(65)90044-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"16924988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
