What We Do for Natural Oligosaccharide Library Construction

At CD BioGlyco, our comprehensive Glycan Display Platform is very complete and contains a variety of assay services such as Traditional Glycan Display Arrays, Cell-based Glycan Display Arrays, and Glycophage Display Assays. Oligosaccharide library construction is essential for the preparation of glycan displays. We provide a one-stop natural oligosaccharide library construction service to meet the needs of our clients for traditional glycan display arrays and further apply them in the glycan interaction analysis.

• Process of natural oligosaccharide library construction at CD BioGlyco
  We isolate and characterize naturally occurring oligosaccharides from different sources as a way to construct natural oligosaccharide libraries. The process of construction is as follows.
  • Source Selection
    We select the source from which you want to isolate the oligosaccharides. Natural oligosaccharides are derived from a variety of biological materials, including plants, microorganisms, animals, algae, etc.
  • Material Pre-treatment
    Pre-treatment is performed to facilitate the release of the glycan. Biological materials (cells, tissues, etc.) are impregnated, ground, or homogenized.
  • Extraction of Oligosaccharides
    We extract the oligosaccharides using appropriate solvents. We use different solvents such as water, salt solutions, etc. for extraction. The choice of solvent depends on the solubility and stability of the target oligosaccharide. This process is combined with enzymatic hydrolysis as a way to obtain structurally diverse oligosaccharides.
  • Separation and Purification
    We separate and purify the extracted oligosaccharides by filtration, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and other methods.
  • Analysis and Characterization
    The structure, composition, and modification of the isolated oligosaccharides are characterized by liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and other methods.
• Techniques used in the construction of natural oligosaccharide libraries at CD BioGlyco
  • SEC
  • LC
  • MS
  • NMR
  • Other techniques according to your needs

Applications of Natural Oligosaccharide Library Construction

• Constructed natural oligosaccharide libraries provide a valuable resource for researchers studying glycan-related biological processes, and glycan-binding proteins.
• Natural oligosaccharide libraries are used to identify structure-activity relationships, discover novel glycan-protein interactions, and develop glycan-based therapeutics.
• Natural oligosaccharide libraries are used for rapid screening of functional oligosaccharides or quantitatively binding proteins to affinity glycans.

Advantages of US

• We offer customization of natural oligosaccharide libraries as per client requirements.
• The extraction process of oligosaccharides may vary depending on the specific source, material, and research requirements. Depending on the nature of the oligosaccharides required by the client and the limitations of the sample source, we optimize and adjust the extraction protocol.
• We analyze and characterize the extracted oligosaccharides by a variety of techniques such as NMR, LC, and MS.
