PROTEIN POLYSACCHARIDE IN CONNECTIVE TISSUE: INHIBITION OF PHASE SEPARATION.
A macromolecule of protein and chondroitin sulfate (PP-L) inhibits sedimentation of barium-polystyrene sulfonate (BaPSS) and of calcium phosphate at low but not at high values of gravity. Sedimentation of BaPSS removes a large fraction of PP-L from solution, but sedimentation of calcium phosphate does not. The results suggest entanglement among linear polyanionic chains.
