Abstract: | Concanavalin A (Con A) or wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was immobilized on a silica-based support, and the chromatographic behaviours of a series of dansylated ovalbumin-derived glycopeptides on small columns of the resultant gels were compared. These columns had high contents of lectins, and allowed differentiation of these glycopeptides. This method was rapid and reproducible, and enabled sensitive detection of these fluorescent glycopeptides. The structural requirement of these glycopeptides to manifest affinity to the immobilized lectins is also discussed, based on binding constants obtained from their retention times. |
