Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) aka mucopolysaccharides long chains of disaccharide-repeat units - acidic sugar (- charge) - acetylated amino sugar (no charge) Important components of: - extracellular matrix - synovial fluid of joints - mucus - vitreous humor of eye Proteoglycans – proteins with lots of GAG chains attached
Repeating disaccharides in hyaluronic acid HO O Acetylation of NH2 group (otherwise present as NH3+)prevents protonation, so no (+) charge present An example of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) repeat units Don’t worry about the structures;just note the (-) charge COO- CH2OH O O OH (repeat) O (repeat) ...... .......

Other GAGs have even more (-) charges! HO O Sulfate (SO4=) groups on various –OH (and to variable degrees) in other GAGs. Sulfation makes them even more negative SO4= SO4= SO4= COO- CH2OH O O OH (repeat) O (repeat) ...... ....... OH NH-C-CH3 llO
