Detection and mapping according to size, anionic charge, and sugar composition. Determination of the distribution of oligosaccharides on bovine submaxillary mucin and rat gastric mucin.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 10, 406-410 (1997). To study the relationship between chemical structure and retention behavior in TLC on silica, the retention constants of variously substituted 1,2-O-isopropylidene derivatives of aldohexoses and 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene derivatives of aldopentoses were measured as a function of the composition of eight binary mobile phases. The slopes and intercepts of the linear relationships between the retention constant (RM) and the logarithm of the volume fraction of the polar mobile phase component were calculated and are discussed in relation to solute and mobile phase characteristics. The RF values and relative retention of compounds depend largely on the retention behavior of their substituents.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 15, 449-453 (2002). Possible explanation of a detection process HPTLC of D-(+)-glucose, D-(+)-galactose, and D-(-)fructose on NH2-phase with 1-propanol - nitromethane - water 5:3:2. Detection after drying for 24 h and heating at 130 - 140°C for 3-4 min and inspection under UV 366 nm. It is suggested that during heating the analytes probably undergo a process which results in a structural transformation possibly analogous to the Maillard reaction.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 397, 87-92 (2010). Preparative TLC of the hydrolysis reaction of maltodextrin glycosidase on various substrates (maltotriose, alpha-, beta-, gamma-cyclodextrins and cycloamylose) on silica gel with ethyl acetate - methanol - acetic acid - water 12:3:3:1. The structure of the products was determined by MALDI-TOF/MS, 13C NMR, and enzymatic analysis.

Marine Drugs 14(6), 108 (2016). A new, highly active alginate lyase (Cel32), isolated from the marine bacterium Cellulophaga sp. strain NJ-1, was incubated (10 mg/mL, 12-36 h, 30 °C, pH 7) with sodium alginate, related mannuronate and guluronate polymers and related oligosaccharides of different polymerisation degrees (PD 2-8), the reaction was stopped by boiling. TLC of the hydrolysates, purified by centrifuging and desalting, on unspecified layers with n-butanol – formic acid – water 4:6:1. Detection by spraying with ethanolic sulfuric acid 10 % and heating for 5 min at 130 °C. The enzyme was active on all substrates (except PD 2 and 3), cleaving them endolytically into oligomeric fragments (PD 2-4)._x000D_
