Carbohydrate-related Interactions Analysis Service Based on SPR Technology

Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes, polyhydroxy ketones, and organic compounds that can be hydrolyzed to produce polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in the process of life activities and are the main source of energy required by all living organisms to maintain life activities. The most important Carbohydrates in plants are starch and cellulose, and the most important polysaccharides in animal cells are glycogen. Carbohydrates in nature are usually composed of monosaccharides, and the general chemical formula is (CH2O)n (n≥3). The structures of monosaccharides and polysaccharides are shown in the figure below. Polysaccharides are usually formed by dehydration of monosaccharides.

Carbohydrates are the most important energy substance in the living body, which work by interacting with other active molecules in life activities. Carbohydrates usually interact with proteins or lipids through their reducing ends to participate in life activities. Among the substances that combine carbohydrates and proteins, protein-based ones are called glycoproteins, and carbohydrate-based ones, such as proteoglycans, are important components of animal connective tissue. As for substances that combine carbohydrates and lipids, lipopolysaccharides are mostly found in the outer membrane of bacteria. In short, carbohydrates are widely distributed in living organisms, and through interaction with various molecules, they achieve various important functions, including cell recognition, participation in the immune system, and as a carbon source for the synthesis of other biomass.

The analysis of carbohydrate-related molecular interactions plays an important role in basic biological research. As we can see in the figure below, our SPR technology platform can provide you with high-throughput carbohydrate-related molecular interaction analysis services, and can greatly promote your biological research of carbohydrate-related mechanisms. The high throughput of SPR technology is the most important advantage. On the one hand, it saves you testing time, and on the other hand, it saves you a great deal of cost. As we all know that time and cost are the most important in a research project. There is one thing you need to know is that SPR technology can realize the analysis and detection of hundreds of samples in a single run. In addition, we all know that scientific experiments often require the accuracy of data results. In this regard, SPR technology can minimize system errors and ensure the accuracy of the results. So you really don't need to worry about the accuracy of the data you get from SPR.

• Detectable carbohydrate-related molecular interaction analysis of samples based on SPR

Carbohydrates are the most important energy material in the human body. The molecular interactions related to sugars play an important role in the human body, and some are even related to disease mechanisms. Another important advantage of our SPR technology platform is that it covers almost all types of test samples analysis, which can satisfy all your carbohydrate-related molecular interaction analysis. Our SPR technology platform can provide corresponding customized services for the detection of various samples, including antibodies, antigens, small organic molecules, bacteria, viruses, tissue lysates, serum, ascites, etc. You don't have to worry that your samples are not suitable for SPR technology, because our platform is universally applicable.
