Two methods are provided for purifying glycoproteins using wheat-germ agglutinin or concanavalin A-Sepharose. Because lectin-affinity matrices can bind a few milligrams of protein per milliliter of affinity matrix, only a small amount of affinity gel matrix is required. The batchwise method is recommended when protein volume is large. - [Read Lectin-Agarose Affinity Chromatography Protocol]
MALDI Matrices. Commonly used MALDI matrices for analysis of peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids using 337 nm or 355 nm UV lasers. All matrices can be used for sample preparation using the Dried Droplet Method whereas only matrices solubl - [Read MALDI Matrices]
Triazine dyes, such as Cibacron Blue 3GA, can be linked to a hexyl spacer arm and then immobilized on a polyhydroxyl support matrix that has been activated with either 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole or epichlorohydrin. An alternative procedure for immobilizing dyes using the direct coupling method is provided in Immobilization of Dyes on Polyhydroxyl Matrices Using the Direct Coupling Method. - [Read Preparation of Affinity-Ligand Resins by Immobilization of Dyes on Polyhydroxyl Matrices]
