Molecular Dynamics Investigation of Hyaluronan in Biolubrication

Aqueous solution of strongly hydrophilic biopolymers is known to exhibit excellent lubrication properties in biological systems, such as the synovial fluid in human joints. Several mechanisms have been proposed on the biolubrication of joints, such as the boundary lubrication and the fluid exudation...
