Properties
Description
Aldehyde-chondroitin sulfate oxidized derivative is generated through periodate cleavage of vicinal diols, creating reactive carbonyl groups for Schiff base formation.
Glycan Name
Chondroitin sulfate
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of repeating disaccharide units. Each unit consists of:
N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) (β1→4 linked)
D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) (β1→96 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Aldehyde
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Chondroitin sulfate-CHO can be used for its potential to study folic acid conjugation efficiency in competitive binding assays.
