Ng. Karlsson et Gc. Hansson, ANALYSIS OF MONOSACCHARIDE COMPOSITION OF MUCIN OLIGOSACCHARIDE-ALDITOLS BY HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY, Analytical biochemistry, 224(2), 1995, pp. 538-541
A simple one-step method for the analysis of monosaccharides including
galactosaminitol after acidic hydrolysis is described. The hydrolyzat
e was re-N-acetylated and analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange
chromatography and the sugars were detected by a pulsed amperometric d
etector. The method was applied on a mixture of neutral oligosaccharid
es released from mucin glycopeptides of rat small intestine by alkalin
e borohydride. Sugars were detected down to the nanomole range and the
results were compared with monosaccharide compositional analysis perf
ormed by gas chromatography of acetylated alditols. (C) 1995 Academic
