title: Simultaneous determination of glucosamine and glucosamine 4-phosphate in Lipid A with high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC).
abstract: A method for simultaneous determination of glucosamine (GlcN) and glucosamine 4-phosphate (GlcN-4-P) in Lipid A with high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) is described. Lipid A is hydrolyzed with 4 M HCl for 16 h at 100 degrees C, and the peaks of glucosamine and glucosamine 4-phosphate were measured. The true GlcN value can be computed from the GlcN value after correction for the incomplete hydrolysis of GlcN-4-P, or by the combined yield of GlcN and GlcN-4-P.
