Abstract
IN a recent paper1 on the mucopolysaccharides of bovine cornea, Meyer, Linker, Davidson and Weissmann conclude that “keratosulphate is the only sulphated polysaccharide of animal origin which does not contain a uronic acid as one of its main constituents”, and they showed that it contained N-acetylglucosamine and galactose in equimolecular proportions and formed about half the total polysaccharide present.
