Numerous native proteins contain glycosidic (sugars) post-transcriptional modifications whose structures are dependent both on species and cell type. The characterization of the complex oligosaccharides obtained from these glycoproteins has proven a difficult and time consuming endeavor.

The Carbohydrate Analysis/Detection Kit allows quick estimation and/or comparison of carbohydrates samples composition. Applications include carbohydrate receptor analysis, and enzyme inhibition studies. The kit provides reagents and protocols for analyzing these carbohydrates through covalent labeling with a fluorescent reagent and analysis by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The principle involves enzymatic removal of the oligosaccharides from a native protein (or mixture of reducing sugars), reductive amination of the reducing sugars and analysis of the resultant glycamines using silica-gel two dimensional thin layer chroma-tography (2D-TLC) or by other well established techniques (HPLC detection and purification, PAGE electrophoresis).

The advantages of the used fluorophore include its low detection limit, water solubility, pH fluorescence invariance, stability, distinctive fluorescence from protein chromophores, and ability to be detected using normal phase chromatography techniques. Additionnaly, compared with the commonly used ANTS reagent, 1/ the more nucleophilic primary amine of the dye makes it more reactive in the labeling reaction than the aromatic amine of ANTS. 2/ the dye is less polar than ANTS, having only one charged sulfate group instead of three, allowing wider potential application for a variety of carbohydrate sizes.

Colorimetric & fluorimetric Protein assays

Protein assays are required in any proteomics study to monitor protein preparation and to quantitate proteins before analysis (electrophoresis, MS, µarray...). Interchim provides robust colorimetric and fluorimetric assays to allow you gain time and results accuracy: BC Assay and LavaPep Assay are recommended for analyzing post-traductional modified proteins (see the tech tip).

Technical tip – Moving from Bradford, Biuret and Lowry methods to BC Assay and LavaPep assays for proteomics studies

People are often not aware of limitations using the so-called and popular Bradford method fo assaying proteins: because of high protein to protein variations of signal and poor linearity, results are often biased and not reproducible enough for fine proteomics analysis. This is due to the interaction type of the included dye, Coomassie, that binds preferentially to certain amino-acids, hydrophobic pockets... This becomes critical with post-transductionally modified proteins, protein mixtures, and digested proteins before MS analysis.

To that point, Uptima recommends to choose preferably BC Assay that as several advantages (see table below) and is general more versatile in most cases. It uses a reaction with peptidic bonds of proteins similar to Biuret and Lowry reagents (making it acceptable when previous works referred to Biuret or Lowry), but improved by the use of bicinchoninic acid. As a result, BC Assay is easier to perform, more accurate (better linearity/broader dynamic range), and more reliable to quantitate diverse proteins. The protein detection sensitivity of the BC Assay is slightly lower in the standard version, but has same or even better sensitivity than Bradford assays with the enhanced protocol, and with the microBC Assay version. In limited cases, the Coo Assay remained irreplaceable (quick procedure required, compatibility with reducing agents and some chelators without removing these substances (desalting, TCA precipitation)). Now Lavap method appears :

Amongst fluorescent protein assays to achieve higher sensitivity, we recommend the LavaPep assay : it provides ultimate sensitivity, higher dynamic range, compatibility with many substance usually interfering, and is ideal for proteolytic-digested peptides with MS analysis requirements.

BC Assay kit - colorimetric protein assay

BC Assay is the premium quality and state of art improvement version of Biuret and Lowry assays. It has become the standard colorimetric in most labs, thanks its ease of use (one step), its unrivalled linearity and working range (0.5 to 2mg/ml), its compatibility with many agents starting with detergents (e.g. SDS) and nucleic acids, and its sensitivity (20µg/ml and down 0.5pg/ml with the microBC assay). It works fine including for glycoproteins (see page 49 tech tip). Detection occurs at 540-590nm (opt.@562nm).A modified Bradford assay (Coo Assay) and a fluorescent assay (LavaPep, see next page) are available as well.

Technical tip – Fluorescent Protein Detection

LavaPep, LavaPurple, and LavaCell use Epicocconone, a natural fluorescent compound from the marine fungus epicoccumnigrum. It yields a fluorescence shift from weak green fluorescence (530nm) to intense red/orange fluorescence (610nm) upon binding to proteins.

Fluorescence can be read by many platforms, such as fluorescence imager, fluorimeter, fluorescence plat readers, and laser scanner.

Hence, Epicocconone is great for demanding protein analysis (sensitivity, robustness, rapidness, low protein-protein variations...) in solutions (<40ng/ml, DTT AND detergent compatible: see LavaPep next page), electrophoresis gels and blottting (SDS-PAGE, IEF, 2D, WB: see LavaPurple p.80), and in cells (inquire for LavaCell stain).

. abs/em. spectra : blue: absorption, green : emission (free), red : emission(protein bound)

. Optimum excitation wavelengths : 405, 500 nm. Suitable light sources include green (e.g. 543, 532 nm) blue (e.g. 488 nm); violet (e.g. 405 nm) or UVA.

. Emission wavelength : The maximum emission is at 610 nm, irrespective of the excitation source.

Phosphate Assays

Because Phosphate plays an very important role in biomolecules activation, and in biochemistry, assaying phosphates is useful to study Phosphatases, ATPases and several other enzymes, as well for ecological studies (water). Interchim provides 2 assay kits, based on a colorimetric and on a fluorescent methods.

Technical tip – Phosphate in the life Sciences

Phosphorus is found in biological systems, as a free phosphate ion in solution that is called inorganic phosphate (Pi =PO4

3−, MW: 94.97), and pyrophosphate (Ppi = P2O7

4-) to distin-guish it from phosphates bound in various esters such as adenosine phosphates and phosphorylated proteins or lipids.

However, phosphates are most commonly found in the form of adenosine phosphates, (AMP, ADP and ATP), of other nucleoside di- and tri-phosphates, and in DNA, RNA and proteins. Pi can be released by the hydrolysis of nucleoside di- and tri-phos-phates (so-called "phosphagens" in muscle tissue), releasing high amounts of energy of the phosphoanhydride bonds to activate biomolecules (phosphorylation of proteins) or catalyse biochemical reactions.Because of its important role in biological systems, phosphate availability may govern the rate of growth of organisms and is thus an important ecological parameter in the study of bio-resources (carencies, booms) and of pollution (water quality because of phos-phates content of detergents and fertilizers, eutrophication).

Colorimetric Phosphatase Assay

The phosphate is dosed by a colorimetric assay based on molybdate and malachite green dye. The rapid color formation from the reaction can be conveniently measured on a spectrophotometer (600 - 660 nm) or on a plate reader. The assay provides an alternative to hazardous radioactive methods and other less sensitive colorimetric assays. Assays can be per-formed in cuvettes or conveniently in 96-well plates for high-throughput screening.The kit can also be used to estimate the phosphate content of proteins (phosphoserine or phosphothreonine post-translational modifications, after alkaline hydrolysis.

Highlight – LavaPurple is great for post-traductionally modified proteins/phospho- & glyco-peptides

LavaPurple assay outperforms Ruby and Krypton stains for sensitivity and linearity with both glycoproteins and non-glycosylated proteins. LavaPep is 8 and 32 times more sen-sitive depending on the glycoprotein, due to its special binding scheme that is not affected by the degree of glycosylation (probably thanks to the dye hydrophilic nature and low molecular weight), combined to its intrinsec higher sen-sitivity). Rare proteins lost with other stains, can be found! Also, staining is not inhibited by the degree of glycosylation compared to Ruby stain, even highly glycated proteins are detected. Finally a greater number of peptides are detected by analysis of gels and by MS analysis of digested proteins eluted from of 1D and 2D electrophoresis gels.

* No heavy metals unlike Rubis and silver stains

Blotting glycated proteins with Protran®

Protran® blotting membranes are not only the world-wide reference for Western-Blotting, also specially excellent for glyco-proteins and protein interactions studies.

Glycosylation is well-known to modify proteins in a proper three-dimensional structure allowing to address them to the right location in cells. Glycosides are also involves in many protein recognition sites of enzymes, receptors...

One approach for discovering new carbohydrate-recognizing proteins in the proteome, and for mapping carbohydrate recognition structures in the glycome, are arrays of oligosaccharides [1]. The figure opposite shows the highly sensitive detection of carbohydrates on Protran membranes. A quantitative immunostaining experiment clearly indicates a more than 10-fold higher signal intensity for oligosaccharides (as NGLs*) on Protran nitrocellulose.

[1] The NGL technology generates lipid-linked oligosaccharide probes from glycoproteins and polysaccharides which are parti-cularly suitable for the arraying of oligosaccharides. Fukui S., Feizi T., Galustian C., Lawson A. M. and W. Chai. Oligosaccharide microarrays for high-throughput detection and specificity assignments of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Nature Biotechnology 2002, Vol. 20, 1011-1017

Protran® offers also highest sensitivity for protein-protein interaction studies. Using fluores-cence labeled probes and protein samples spotted on Protran enables analysis of signals from protein-protein or protein-DNA interactions with high sensitivity of detection (ask for application notes).

Protran suits Western-Blotting and dot/slot blots, as well as nucleic acids (N.A.) in Southern- and Northern-blotting, hybridization fo colonies and plate lifts. Protran is superior to PVDF and Nylon for proteins and carbohydrates, in particular for peroxidase/ECL based detections.Its purity is unrivalled (no cellulose acetate, that reduce protein binding). Its mechanical resistance facilitates handling (avoids stretches). At the opposite of PVDF, no pre-wetting in methanol is required. The retention of biomolecules during transfer is excellent (3 porosity levels depending of molecular size).

Immuno detection of oligosaccharides immobi-lized as NGLs [1] on Protran® BA85 (Data are kindly provided by Professor Ten Feizi, Imperial College London, Northwick Park & St Mark’s Hospital Campus Harrow, Middlesex, UK.The method is described in [1].)

DetergentsSDS (MW : 288.38), an anionic detergent, is a critical reagent in many molecular biology ap-plications. For example, contaminating levels of C16-alkyl sulfate particularly affect protein renaturation, and contaminating UV absorbing materials affect detection sensitivity. Additio-nally, heavy metals/ chloride contaminants affect separation and enzymatic activities.

Our Biotechnology Grade SDS is especially high in both purity and C12 content., to suit the most demanding biotech applications., molecular biology and genomics.
