Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for carbohydrate analysis in a flow chemistry manner. The present invention at least features continuous reactions of glycan hydrolysis in combination with saccharide labeling which is helpful to improve the existing approaches in glycan structural analysis.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for quantitating a saccharide in a liquid sample. The method comprises incubating the liquid sample with 2,3-naphthalenediamine in the presence of iodine to allow a naphthimidazole group to be linked to the saccharide to obtain a first mixture; obtaining an 1H-NMR spectrum of the first mixture; and comparing, in said 1H-NMR spectrum, the intensity or integral of a proton signal corresponding to the saccharide to the intensity or integral of a proton signal corresponding to an internal standard present in the first mixture.
Abstract:
Provided is an isotope-labelled compound having a general formula IIa′, S-Y′-BIM, wherein S is a sugar moiety, Y′ is an isotope-containing sensor moiety and BIM is a benzimidazole. The compound may be used as an agent for saccharide analysis by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). A new glycan sequencing method and a glycoprotein synthesis method by using these compounds are also provided.
