Abstract: | A simple procedure for the determination of the absolute configuration (i.e., assignment to the D- or L-enantiomeric series) of glucose, mannose, galactose, fucose, arabinose, and rhamnose is described, based on inhibition by these sugars of 125I-labeled lectin binding to the glycoconjugates immobilized on the wells of plastic microculture plates. The method works well with 10 to 100-micrograms amounts of the sugars isolated after paper chromatography of the glycoprotein or polysaccharide hydrolysates. |
