Quantitative determination of reducing sugars, oligosaccharides, and glycoproteins with (3H)borohydride.

چکیده
A very simple and dirrct radioactive isotope m&hod has been tlwcl~ibed for the quantitative determination of reducing sugars. The method can be adapted to give any degrtte of sensitivity desired. The procedure is of general applicability to the determination of a large class of sugars. The stoichiometry of the reaction makes it a comprehensive procedure which greatly facilitates the analysis of sugars, oligosaccharides, and glycoproteins after acid and enzymic hydrolysis. Examples of the versatility of the method are given.

The mannosylation of dolichol diphosphate oligosaccharides and the formation of oligosaccharides and glycoproteins in pig liver microsomal preparations.
After incubation of GDP-[14C]mannose with pig liver microsomal preparations [14C]mannose can be recovered in dolichol monophosphate mannose (dol-P-man), dolichol diphosphate oligosaccharides (dol-P-P-oligosac), oligosaccharide and glycoprotein. The identification and formation of dolichol phosphate mannose has been described in detail (Richards & Hemming, 1972; Evans & Hemming, 1973). Identific...
متن کاملProteoglycans from chick limb bud chondrocyte cultures. Keratan sulfate and oligosaccharides which contain mannose and sialic acid.
The precursors, [3SS]sulfate and [2-3H]mannose, were used to study the biosynthesis of keratan sulfate and other oligosaccharides on proteoglycans isolated from Day 8 cultures of chick limb bud chondrocytes. After alkaline borohydride treatment, three fractions with sialic acid were separated by molecular sieve chromatography. The first contained keratan sulfate which was purified by digestion ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of oligosaccharides from rat colonic mucus glycoprotein.
The structure of carbohydrate units of rat colonic mucus glycoproteins was investigated. Alkaline borohydride reductive cleavage of the glycoprotein resulted in the release of a series of reduced oligosaccharides. Eight of the oligosaccharides (1 to 8), ranging in length from 2 to 12 sugar units, have been purified to homogeneity and their structures determined. Based on the results of immunolo...
متن کاملCharacterization of glycoproteins and their associated oligosaccharides through the use of endoglycosidases.
Glycoproteins are rather ubiquitous in nature and constitute a major segment of the protein profiles in most eukaryotes. Although the existence of glycoproteins has been known for over 100 years (1), and the role of their protein moieties has in most instances been defined, the contribution of the carbohydrate was largely unknown until recently. To understand the functional role of the carbohyd...

An improved procedure for determination of composition of heteropolysaccharides by radiochromatography of sodium [3H]borohydride-reduced hydrolyzates has been developed. The method is accurate and sensitive, is less cumbersome and more reliable than similar procedures currently in use, and permits, for the first time, compositional analysis of hydrolyzates containing both hexoses and uronic aci...
