Abstract

Tea is a healthy food, because it has various bioactive components. Recent research indicated that tea glycoprotein might be a bioactive component in tea. In this report, total proteins were extracted from tea fresh leaves, and coarse glycoproteins were isolated through the methods of ammonium sulfate fractions (45%--70%) and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. According to control staining of glycan and polypeptide, glycoproteins were determinated by using Pierce GelCode Glycoprotein Staining Kit and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250, and three tea glycoproteins were fast purified from the SDS-gels. Sixteen native bioactive glycoproteins were gained from tea total proteins by ConA-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography.
