Structural formula of the repeating unit of the poly-dispersed PPS. On average, a single sulphated 4-O-methyl-glucopyranosyluronic acid ring is attached laterally via an oxygen linkage to the 2 position of every sulphate-esterified 9–10th xylanopyranose unit of the polymer. From the molecular weight distribution of 1800–17,000 Da determined by size exclusion chromatography [44], N can be estimated as 0.5–6.0
