Other Applications
We can label or derivatize the asparagine residues of oligosaccharides. Some examples follow.
sample1
■Fluorescein-Labeled Oligosaccharides
By using Fluorescein-labeled oligosaccharides in biochemical experiments, it is possible to conduct sensitive analyses.
■Biotin-Labeled Oligosaccharides
By using the tendency for tight binding between biotin and avidin, we can immobilize oligosaccharides-biotins on the avidin on arrays or affinity beads.
■Neoglycolipids
Our artificial glycolipids with amphipathicity(neoglycolipids) readily form micelles and liposomes and can be applied to the preparation of virus inhibitors and drug delivery system (DDS).
sample2
■Oligosaccharides with Free Reducing Ends
We have established the production method of 1-OH oligosaccharides using hydrolysis of the asparagine residue. This process can be applied to each type of oligosaccharides in our oligosaccharide library.
