Abstract
Marine invertebrates produce different kinds of sulfated polysaccharides. These glycans play essential roles in several biological processes and the study of these molecules is promising in a variety of fields. In the following sections, we describe the materials and methods used for the extraction, purification, and characterization of marine invertebrate-derived glycosaminoglycans.
