Summary
A schematic representation of the collagen network interacting with the proteoglycan network in AC. They have complex macromolecules, also known as aggrecans an elongated protein core to which long glycosaminoglycan chains attach. These carry numerous negative charges and are via chondroitin-4-sulphate, chondroitin-6-sulphate, and keratan sulphate covalently with the aggrecan chain connected. The interstices of this porous solid matrix are filled with water and dissolved ions
