title: High-performance liquid chromatographic identification of eight constitutional disaccharides from heparan sulfate isomers digested with heparitinases.
abstract: Identification with specific heparan sulfate-lyases, heparitinase I and heparinase of the constitutional unsaturated disaccharide (delta Di-SHS) derived from heparan sulfate (HS) isomers and heparin was achieved using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. Eight delta Di-SHS products derived from HS isomers were identified. Enzymatic digestion with heparitinase I and heparinase converts heterogeneous sulfated HS isomers and heparin into different delta Di-SHS. The practical application of these enzymes was examined using specific enzymes and HPLC. In a patient with Hurler syndrome, eight individual delta i-SHS were identified in urinary HS isomers.
