A charged and strongly UV-absorbing tag, N-(4-aminobenzoyl)-L-glutamic acid) (ABG), was coupled to oligosaccharides by reductive amination under mild conditions. The effectiveness of ABG as a derivatization agent is shown through the separation of isomaltooligosaccharides from a dextran hydrolysate. The minimum

We have identified and purified to homogeneity an enzyme from rat liver that catalyzes the oxidative catabolism of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to p-aminobenzoylglutamate and a pterin derivative. Purification of the enzyme utilized six column matrices, including a pterin-6-carboxylic acid affinity column. Treatment
