摘要:
Methods for analyzing mixtures of polysaccharides, for example heparin or a LMWH, using reduce end labeling are described. In general, the mixture of polysaccharides includes polysaccharides having a desired structural moiety. In some instances, one or more polysaccharides in the mixture are chemically modified prior to analysis.

The invention relates to 2-O sulfatase and uses thereof. In particular, the invention relates to recombinantly produced 2-O sulfatase, functional variants and nucleic acid molecules that encode these molecules. The invention also provides methods of using 2-O sulfatase for a variety of purposes, including degrading and analyzing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) present in a sample. For instance, 2-O sulfatase may be used for determining the purity, identity, composition and sequence of glycosaminoglycans present in a sample. The invention also relates to methods of inhibiting angiogenesis and cellular proliferation as well as methods for treating cancer, neurodegenerative disease, atherosclerosis and microbial infection using 2-O sulfatase and/or GAG fragments produced by degradation with 2-O sulfatase.
摘要:
A data structure, tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium, representing a polymer of chemical units is disclosed. The data structure includes an identifier including a plurality of fields for storing values corresponding to properties of the polymer. The polymer may, for example, be a polysaccharide and the chemical units may be saccharides. Also disclosed is a computer-implemented method for determining whether properties of a query sequence of chemical units match properties of a polymer of chemical units. The query sequence is represented by a first data structure, and the polymer is represented by a second data structure, each are tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium, including an identifier including a plurality of bit fields for storing values corresponding to properties of the query sequence and polymer, respectively. The invention also involves a notational system referred to as Property Encoded Nomenclature.
