CAPILLARY ZONE ELECTROPHORESIS OF NONOSACCHARIDES

A method for the analysis of monosaccharides derived from glycoproteins and glycolipids was described using the newly developed technique of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE).It is found that,at ca.0.5-5 nL injection,CZE can offer a high resolution of most monoses from glycoprotein and glycolipids.A mixture of amino-and non-aminomonosaccharides,which is difficult to separate with chromatographic methods,was separated completely by CZE in borate buffer after the monosaccharides were derivatized with 1-naphthylamine.
