Abstract

Hemocyanin from the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis is a high-molecular-mass copper-containing glyco-protein which functions as oxygen carrier in the hemolymph. To release the carbohydrate chains, the protein was digested by pronase followed by hydrazinolysis and reduction. The oligosaccharide-alditols were purified by gel permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel P-4, followed by HPLC on a Lichrosorb-NH2 column. Using 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, in conjunction with sugar, methylation and deamination analysis, the following seven novel primary oligosaccharide structures could be unravelled. (Formula: see text).
