.Proteoglycans bind water, but they providestructure rather than lubrication. O-linked glycans of a mucin is small: Glycans attached to proteoglycans are verylarge, containing as many as 100 residues. Linear chains consisting of alternating aminosugars and hexopyranosides: Names of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) reflectthe tissue originally isolated

. Providing resilience incartilage is a consequenceof their highly hydrated state.Waterbinding is mediated by the sugars andlarge amount of sulphate residues· Resulting large volume occupied by anaggregate. It can only be reduced under pressure, byreleasing water· Aggregates are molecular shock absorbers orverystiffsponges· Releasing waterslowly under pressureandtaking it back up when pressure is released
