Heparin
|
Heparin was discovered by Mac Lean in 1916. It has been medically important as an anticoagulant since its introduction
over a half-century ago, and recently a number of new biological activities has been adscribed to it.
Heparin is a very complex glycosaminoglycan composed of alternate sequences of uronic acid (usually -L-iduronic
acid) and -D-glucosamine linked by (14)bonds, with sulphate groups in the glucosamine ring.
