Abstract
A novel N-acetylneuraminic acid analogue, 2-S-(5'-aminopentyl) 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2- nonulopyranosidonic acid, as well as the thiosialoside 2-S-(2'-aminoethyl) 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2- nonulopyranosidonic acid, have been synthesised and successfully coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B through the terminal amino group. The resultant affinity resins have proved efficient in purifying a number of sialic acid-recognising proteins such as Vibrio cholerae sialidase, sialidase-L from leech, trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi, and sialyltransferases from rat liver, all in high yield.
