title: Separation of disaccharides by affinity capillary electrophoresis in lectin-containing electrophoretic solutions.
abstract: Separation of the 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) derivatives of simple disaccharides (maltose, cellobiose, gentiobiose, lactose, and melibiose) by affinity capillary electrophoresis was investigated using lectin-containing neutral phosphate buffers, filled in a linear polyacrylamide-coated capillary. When Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) was added, the derivatives of glucobioses were retarded with varying magnitudes depending on the amount of LCA and were well separated from each other and from galactosyl glucose under optimized conditions. Addition of Ricinus communis 60 kDa agglutinin (RCA60) to the phosphate buffer gave a different migration profile, in which the derivatives of galactosyl glucoses were more retarded than those of glucobioses. However, addition of either lectin did not accomplish complete separation of the derivatives of all these disaccharides even under optimum conditions. The addition of two kinds of lectins in appropriate proportions improved separation. Thus, the binary system composed of LCA and RCA60, as well as LCA and soybean agglutinin from Glycine max (SBA), gave better separation of these derivatives, giving peak tops for all derivatives.
