Abstract excerpt

The keratan sulfate domain of aggrecan consists of a series of tandemly repeating hexapeptides which have the consensus sequence Glu-Glu/Lys-Pro-Phe-Pro-Ser, where the serine side-chains presumably provide sites for the attachment of keratan sulfate (KS) chains. The number of hexapeptide repeats...
