title: Targeting the glycosaminoglycan-binding sites on proteins.
abstract: Sulfated glycosaminoglycans bind to a wide variety of proteins, and in so doing have important roles in diverse biological processes. Selective mimics or inhibitors of protein-glycosaminoglycan interactions could have broad application in biology and medicine.
