Dear Netters,
	
					I work on Bioactive polymers. There had been a lot of literature in the 
recent past of composites of Collagen-GAG 'cross-linked' with Chitosan. 
I wish to know whether such a crosslinking is feasible. Can a 
Glycosaminoglycan be cross linked to a protein by an acetyl glucosamine. 
There had been literature which discusses that the Collagen Chitosan link is 
purely electrostatic.

					I need to be educated of this and if there are any investigators in this 
area, may I get in touch with them.
 
Thank you,

Yours 
M.M.Rajan
