Abstract
- Metamorphosis of the structure of heparin over the years.
- History of identification and chemical synthesis of major and minor sequences, among which the specific pentasaccharidic sequence of the active site for antithrombin.
- Peculiar conformational properties of iduronic acid-containing heparin sequences and proof of their role in protein binding and eliciting biological activities.
