Abstract
AbstractThe glycosidases and associated hydrolytic enzymes acting on glycoconjugate oli-gosaccharides form part of the total mucinase activity. This chapter describes some assay methods for the determination of these enzymes. Our knowledge of the number of enzymes required for mucin degradation and their regulation in physiological situations is scanty (1). The degradation of both protein and carbohydrate domains require specific enzymes which are able to degrade mucin structure. Carbohydrate degradation may be dependent on prior or concomitant peptide cleavage in mucins. The issues that need to be addressed include the following: KeywordsSialic AcidSodium AcetateEnzyme ExtractSodium CarbonateSynthetic SubstrateThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
