On the polylactose nature of chondroitin and keratan sulphates.
The recognition that keratan and chondroitin sulphates are based on the same polylactose backbone simplifies the study of heteroduplex formation between them, suggests insights into structure-function relationships in tissues, and permits new definitions of the linkage regions.
