Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are one of the most important polysaccharide in the living systems. However, preparation of GAGs is difficult owing to the complex structure and high molecular weight. In order to obtain the GAGs’ materials with a practical way, we investigated a new approach to mimic GAGs using polymer chemistry. We reviewed the syntheses of GAGs of the previous reports and the glycopolymers having GAGs moieties, including our GAGs' mimic polymers.
