摘要
The use of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to resolve fluorescein-derivatized asialoglycopeptides is described. Specific exoglycosidase digestion of pronase glycopeptides of [bovine] fetuin generates a series of degradation products that are resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and are visualized by photography. The logarithm of the relative electrophoretic mobility of each degraded glycopeptide is linearly correlated to the number of monosaccharide residues sequentially removed by exoglycosidases. Such an approach allows the quantitative evaluation of the number of saccharide moieties removed by each enzyme at a detection sensitivity of < 20 pmol of each compound. Use of specific endoglycosidases results in direct sizing of oligosaccharide chains.
