  3. 37. Oligosaccharide Analysis - Assessment of the DNS Method and Specification of Glucans Processed with CGTase

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Matilda Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : CGTase; DNS; Chromatography; HPAEC; HPAE; Carbohydrate; Carbohydrates; Glucans; Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Flory; Enza; Enzyme; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study, the reagent 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used for carbohydrate characterisation. It was revealed that the DNS reaction is not exclusive to reducing ends as commonly thought, but rather that the reagent reacts with other parts of the carbohydrate molecules as well. READ MORE
