Abstract

Disclosed are (1) methods for identifying natural and synthetic sequences having binding specificity for glycan-binding proteins, including proteins that act as effectors of biological activity, (2) compositions and methods of producing protein-specific glycosaminoglycan sequence and ligand antagonists capable of modulating the effector function of these ligands, and therapeutic compositions comprising these antagonists; and 3) compositions and methods for producing protein-specific glycosaminoglycan sequence analogs useful as agonists, and therapeutic compositions comprising these agonists.
