Improved quantitation and discrimination of sulphated glycosaminoglycans by use of dimethylmethylene blue

TL;DR: A modified form of the dim methylmethylene blue assay is described that has improved specificity for sulphated glycosaminoglycans, and it is shown that in conjunction with specific polysaccharidases, the dimethylmethyleneblue assay can be used to quantitate individual sulphated sugarcans.
