We have developed a novel technique capable of probing terminal monosaccharides on proteins using SDS-PAGE. This technique does not require expensive equipment and is more specific than comparable methods. Additionally, it offers any laboratory the ability to gain a greater understanding of the glycan profiles of their protein of interest without significant investments.
Read this article to learn about how our novel technique is:
- SENSITIVE. Labeling is through covalent bonding via click chemistry
- INEXPENSIVE. Does not require mass spectrometry or HPLC
- DIRECT. No requirement for releasing glycans from the protein
- SIMPLE. Only common laboratory equipment used for Western blot is needed
- FAST. Results can be obtained in a day
