General description
The Sialic Acid Quantitation Kit provides a rapid and accurate determination of total N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA; sialic acid). NANA is released from glycoconjugates using neuraminidase. The kit uses α(2→3,6,8,9) neuraminidase to cleave all NANA linkages, including α(2→8) and α(2→9) linkages, as well as branched NANA, for the most accurate determination of total sialic acid content.
Application
Contains all reagents to quantitate the amount of N-acetylneuraminic acid, either free, or in glycoproteins, cell surface glycoproteins, polysialic acids and capsular polysaccharides (consisting only of polysialic acid).
Quantity
Sufficient reagents are provided to perform 25 reactions, including control samples. Each reaction will measure 1-200 nmoles of NANA.

How does the size of the multiwell plate affect the volumes of reagents used, and how is the final calculation of nmoles of NANA adjusted accordingly?

How should a time course experiment be conducted to assess if digestion has reached completion? Can NANA on a glycoprotein be measured in multiple samples simultaneously using a multiwell plate as detailed in section 2, "Assay of Multiple Samples for Free NANA," or is this method only applicable to free NANA?
1 answer-
1.This kit utilizes α(2→3,6,8,9) neuraminidase to cleave all NANA linkages, including α(2→8) and α(2→9) linkages, as well as branched NANA. To determine when the digestion is complete, measurements of free NANA released at different times can be taken and plotted on a graph to illustrate the change in NANA concentration over time. The endpoint of digestion is identified as the point where no further increase in product concentration is observed, allowing for accurate determination of the time required to completely digest all the NANA in a sample.
2. For a time course experiment, one may start with an immediate baseline reading and continue with readings at 1, 2, and 3 hours to monitor the release of NANA. If the released NANA levels off between the 3 to 5-hour marks, the reaction is complete. For complex samples or high NANA concentrations, extending the incubation time points beyond 5 hours, and checking hourly, may be necessary. The optimal incubation time and/or the sample quantity would need to be adjusted based on preliminary findings to ensure complete digestion without degradation.
3.Adapting this protocol for a multiwell plate involves performing the enzymatic digestion as described in the procedure for the target sample type (e.g., free NANA, glycoproteins, or polysialic acid). After the digestion step, one would follow the steps outlined in the "2. Assay of Multiple Samples for Free NANA" section. Adjustments to the volume may be needed based on the well size of the multiwell plate. For example, for a 100 μL well, the volumes of the reagents would need to be adapted proportionally, and the final calculation of nmoles of NANA should reflect the smaller reaction volume.Helpful?
