Figure Lengend Snippet: Peptide conjugation to HA-CHO. A) Chemical structure of HA-CHO, the fibronectin-derived peptide sequence, GRGDS, and the peptide-modified, HA-CHO-GRGDS; (* denotes methylene protons in the side chains of arginine and aspartate in the GRGDS peptide, corresponding to asterisked peak at ~2.6-2.8 ppm in panel B, § denotes the methyl protons of HA-CHO at 1.8 ppm). B) 1H-NMR spectra showed that approximately 10% of the available carboxylic acids in HA were modified with the peptide (* indicates the conjugated peptide). C) Gel permeation chromatography showed an increase in molecular weight of the HA-CHOGRGDS conjugate relative to the molecular weight of HA-CHO.
