Introduction
- Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid or hyaluronate) is simple polymer of disaccharides themselves
- composed of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine
- linked together via alternating glycosidic bonds
- Molecular weight of one monomer is 400 Da

Introduction HYALURONAN IS-
- found in all tissues and body fluids of
vertebrates as well as in some bacteria
- synthesized in the cellular plasma membrane
- a major component of the synovial fluid and was found to increase the viscosity of the fluid
- a major constituent in the vitreous of the human eye
-an important component of articular cartilage, where it is present as a coat around each cell
- is also a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair
Hyaluronan (HA) can be 25.000 monomers in length
~1 nm

From complex conductance to complex dielectric function
Y()=G()+iC()
-G() and C() of DNA solutions are measured
- These are subtracted for (G, C) of background (reference) NaCl solution with matching conductivity (at 100kHz)
- This procedure enables to eliminate the electrode polarization effects, as well as other stray impedance effects.

Plans
1. Repeat the dielectric spectroscopy for Hyaluronic acid pure water solutions in the same range of HA concentration as reported here.
2. Hyaluronic acid in NaCl electrolyte (with added salt of fixed or varying concentration), similar range of HA concentration as reported here.
