title: An improved method for chemical deglycosylation of gastric mucus glycoprotein.
abstract: We describe an improved method for chemical deglycosylation of gastric mucin which involves: reduction, alkylation, desialylation, periodate oxidation with beta-elimination and two-steps of TFMSA/anisole treatment. The product was 96% deglycosylated protein with amino acid composition similar to purified mucin with apparent molecular weight of 90 kDa.
