Figure 1 Hyaluronidase SD and chondroitinase ABC (HABC) and chondroitinase ACII (AC2) digests of leaflet and chordae, with the first lane showing monosaccharide/disaccharide standard (STD) bands. The 4S- and 6S-galNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine-4- and 6-sulfate) are the non-reducing terminal ends of the GAG chains. Di0S = unsulfated chondroitin; Di2S = chondroitin/dermatan 2-sulfate; Di4S = chondroitin/dermatan-4-sulfate; Di6S = chondroitin/dermatan-6-sulfate; Di4,6S = chondroitin/dermatan-4,6-sulfate; DiHA = hyaluronan.
