Hyaluronic acid. Molecular model of two units of the glycosaminoglycan polymer hyaluronic acid (), also known as hyaluronan. A polymer of disaccharides, it is an important component of articular cartilage and of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (grey), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue) and oxygen (red).
