TLDR
Reduction and alkylation of isolated proteoglycan subunit and of the glycoprotein fraction suggest that disulfide bonds in both are required for aggregation, but that those in the former are more sensitive to reduction.

Material properties and structure-function relationships in the menisci.

TL;DR: The menisci serve several important biomechanical functions in the knee: distribute stresses over a broad area of articular cartilage, absorb shocks during dynamic loading, and probably assist in joint lubrication.

The specific interaction of hyaluronic acid with cartilage proteoglycans

TL;DR: The addition of small amounts of hyaluronic acid to disaggregated cartilage proteoglyans produced a large increase in hydrodynamic size on gel chromatography and there was no such interaction when proteoglycans were mixed with other polyanions in comparable proportions.

Regular ArticleCartilage proteoglycans

TL;DR: The predominant proteoglycans present in cartilage is the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 'aggrecan', which serves a direct, primary role providing the osmotic resistance necessary for cartilage to resist compressive loads.

Isolation and characterization of proteoglycans from the swarm rat chondrosarcoma.

TL;DR: Proteoglycan monomer (D1) and aggregate (A1) preparations were isolated from 4 M guanidinium chloride extracts of the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma and contained only small proteoglycan fragments, indicating that extensive enzymatic degradation had occurred.

Proteinpolysaccharide Complex from Bovine Nasal Cartilage A COMPARISON OF LOW AND HIGH SHEAR EXTRACTION PROCEDURES

TL;DR: Two procedures for isolating 80 to 85% of the total hexuronic acid from bovine nasal cartilage as proteinpolysaccharide complex are described and compared, and it is suggested that disaggregation is fundamental to the extraction process.

Viscosity and density of aqueous solutions of urea and guanidine hydrochloride.

TL;DR: Densities and viscosities of aqueous solutions of urea and guanidine hydrochloride at 25° have been measured and equations are presented which describe their variation with concentration, and the possibility of predicting these results from information on solutions containing each solute separately is discussed.

The Viscosity Of Macromolecules In Relation To Molecular Conformation

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the theoretical and experimental aspects of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian viscosities of polymer solutions and explores that viscometry has been one of the most powerful tools for detecting the conformational changes or “denaturation” of proteins, but intimate details of the process cannot be deduced from the viscosity alone.
