Abstract: | A glycan microarray was developed by using 2,6-diaminopyridine (DAP) as a fluorescent linker and printing of the glycan-DAP
conjugates (GDAPs) on epoxy-activated glass slides. Importantly, all coupled GDAPs showed a detectable level of concentration-dependent
GDAP fluorescence under blue laser excitation (495 nm) that can be used for both grid location and on-slide quantification.
A glycan array including a large number of GDAP’s derived from natural and commercially available free glycans was constructed
and glycan interactions with various plant lectins were investigated. In addition, binding parameters of lectins to glycans
were obtained by varying both the amount of GDAPs on the array and the lectin concentration in analyses. These data demonstrate
the general utility of GDAP microarrays for functional glycomic analyses and for determining binding parameters of glycan
binding proteins (GBPs). |
