Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HA) is a critical component of the extracellular matrix and plays an important biological function of interacting with different molecules and receptors. In this study, both odd- and even-numbered HA oligosaccharides (HAOs) with specific degrees of polymerization (DP) were prepared by different hydrochloric acid hydrolyses, and their structures were characterized by means of HPLC, ESI-MS, and NMR. The data show that the odd-numbered HAOs (DP3-11) have a glucuronic ac ...[more]
