11:14 structure. They provide the matrix or ground substance of extracellular tissue spaces in which collagen and elastin fibers are embedded. Hyaluronic acid, chondroitin 4-sulfate, heparin, are among the important glycosaminoglycans. 10. Glycoproteins are a group of biochemically important compounds with a variable composition of carbohydrate (1-90%), covalently bound to protein. Several enzymes, hormones, structural proteins and cellular receptors are in fact glycoproteins. Chapter 2: CARBOHYDRATES SELF-ASSESSMENT EXERCISES I. Essay questions 1.
