The glycoprotein, lubricin, is the primary boundary lubricant of articular cartilage and has been shown to prevent cartilage damage after joint injury. In this study, a library of eight bottle‐brush copolymers were synthesized to mimic the structure and function of lubricin. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafted onto a polyacrylic acid (pAA) core mimicked the hydrophilic mucin‐like domain of lubricin,...
The glycoprotein lubricin is the primary boundary lubricant of articular cartilage. Its boundary lubricating abilities arise from two key structural features: i) a dense mucin-like domain consisting of hydrophilic oligosaccharides and ii) an end terminus that anchors the molecule to articulating surfaces. When bound, lubricin molecules attract and trap water near a surface, reducing friction and facilitating...
