Biopolymers, such as proteins and nucleic acids have been subjected
to a rational succession of structural studies in which the
determination of chemical compositions, link- ages, and sequences
is followed by investigations of molecu- lar architecture and
interactions. By the end of the 1960s the covalent structures of
glycosaminoglycans and proteo- glycans had been defined both within
the carbohydrate chains and in respect to their linkages to
protein. The scene was therefore set for successful probing of
three- dimensional shapes and intermolecular associations. For-
tunately, during the 1970s appropriate physical methods were
themselves greatly increasing in power. Consequently much progress
has been made using X-ray diffraction anal- ysis of hydrated films,
nuclear magnetic resonance spectro- scopy, and chromatographie
methods for investigation of molecular interactions in solution. We
now have a great deal of information about molecular shapes, their
sensitiv- ity to environment (especially associated cations), and
their modes of interaction that could be relevant to super-
molecular assemblies in biological milieux. For these rea- sons we
judged that it would be timely to distil the main conclusions from
this phase of research to prepare for the next, which will involve
detailed study of the interplay be- tween biological function and
molecular structure. The idea for this volume emerged from a
workshop meeting at Colworth sponsored by the Biochemical Society.
