“…The solution was then desalted on Sephadex G-10. The structure was determined using a controlled digestion with heparin lyase I (heparinase I, EC 4.2.2.7) followed by HPLC analysis according to the procedure described previously (13). In the reduced dodecasaccharide, only one site was cleaved by heparinase I, and a mixture of the tetrasaccharide ⌬U-A NAc,6S -GlcUA-A NS,3S,6S and the octasaccharide ⌬U 2S -A NS,6S -I-A NAc,6S -GlcUA-A NS,3S,6S -I 2S -A NS,6S-ol was predominantly obtained as shown in Fig.…”
