PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 15, 2013 - MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. -- MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. - Eliminating sample complexity by enriching glycosylated proteins enhances downstream biotechniques such as mass spectrometry. Coupling glycoprotein enrichment techniques with multidimensional chromatographic separation could allow for glycoprotein profiling and biomarker discovery. NuGel™ Glycoprotein Enrichment PBA Kit - With Phenyl Boronic Acid NuGel™ Matrix unmasks glycoproteins from high abundance proteins, is cis-diol specific and enriches glycoproteins from blood, serum, plasma, tissue or cell culture media. With NuGel™, non-specific sites have been virtually eliminated making it an ideal support for affinity purification. The Phenyl Boronic Acid (PBA) ligand is immobilized through the NuGel™ poly-Epoxy linkage with attachment through the amino group. While various lectins bind to specific saccharide residues, the PBA ligand binds to the 1,2-cis-diol groups of biomolecules and enriches for heterogeneous sets of glycoproteins containing both N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. An easy and fast spin-filter format makes glycoprotein enrichment simple starting from 50µl serum, or 1-2 mg total protein.
Applications of NuGel™ Glycoprotein Enrichment PBA Kit - With Phenyl Boronic Acid NuGel™ Matrix
- Structural characterization of N- and O-linked carbohydrates attached to proteins.
- Mass spectrometry proteomic analysis of glycan structures, glycoproteins, peptide sequence, glycan attachment site and glycan structure. Identify genes encoding glycoproteins and glycosylation sites
- Subsequent to enrichment research on sites of O-GlcNAc modification on proteins of low abundance provides information on mutagenesis and oncogenes.
- Separation of N- and O-linked glycans from glycoproteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels
- Glycan profile characterization via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
- Conduct proteomic research on post translational modification and intracellular, cell-cell and cell-matrix events.
- Identify genes encoding glycoproteins and glycosylation sites.
- Recombinant immuno-globulins (rIgG) research.
- Complements lectin-affinity chromatography, frontal affinity chromatography and contemporary in silico database searching
