FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Can I use α2-3,6,8 Neuraminidase in a double digest with Endo H(Hf) or PNGase F?
  2. Is α2-3,6,8 Neuraminidase active at higher pH levels?
  3. How much exoglycosidase should be used?
  4. Do detergents inhibit exoglycosidases/endoglycosidases?
  5. What is a good positive control for α2-3,6,8 Neuraminidase?
  6. Why have the NEB Glycosidase enzymes changed reaction buffers? What are the new reaction buffers and can I still use an enzyme with its old buffer? Where can I find the composition of the old buffers?
  7. What are Glycosidases and their uses?
  8. Is it necessary to treat my glycoprotein concomitantly with Neuraminidase and O-Glycosidase?
  9. Do the NEB Neuraminidase enzymes cleave both N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) residues?

Tech Tips

Don’t forget to include Neuraminidase in a digestion with O-Glycosidase.
