Direct chemical analysis of glycoconjugates for carbohydrates.
This unit presents protocols for detection of different sugars bound to glycoconjugates. The solution containing the carbohydrate material is treated with a specific reagent, generating a colored reaction product that can be detected spectrophotometrically. For each assay, the absorbance of the colored solution is proportional to the amount of sugar present in the glycoconjugate.
