## Abstract The diffusional behavior of lowβmolecularβweight solutes through gel membranes containing polyanionic material has been studied as a model for connective tissue. A steadyβstate isotopic flux measurement is used. Results indicate that the presence of solutions of βnativeβ proteoglycans w

Abstract
Donnan equilibria between solutions of various carbohydrates polyins and Na^β^ have been measured by equilibrium dialysis. From the results, estimates have been made of the degree of Na^β^ fixation by the polyions. Comparison is made between the behavior of the complex proteoglycan macromolecules and their constituent glycosaminoglycans. Attempts to interpret these results and the Na^β^ activity in saltfree solutions on the parameter of the intercharge distance has been made. By use of studies on carboxymethylcellulose, the relative importance of the carboxyl and of the sulphate ester groups in the Na^β^ fixation is assessed. The relevance of the measurements to the previously described diffusional effects found in real and model connective tissues is discussed.
