Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave > 95% of the non-reducing terminal α-D-mannose from 1 nmol Manα1-3Manβ1-4GlcNAc-7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (AMC), in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl.

Supplement with 100 µg/ml Recombinant Albumin (Low-glycerol)
Incubate at 37°C

1X GlycoBuffer 1
5 mM CaCl2
50 mM sodium acetate
(pH 5.5 @ 25°C)

Storage Buffer

50 mM NaCl
20 mM Tris-HCl
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Unit Assay Conditions

Two fold serial dilutions of α1-2,3 Mannosidase are incubated with 1 nmol AMC-labeled substrate in 1X GlycoBuffer 1, supplemented with 100 µg/ml rHSA, in a 10 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Separation of reaction products are visualized via thin layer chromatography (1).

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. What is a good positive control for this α1-2, 3 Mannosidase?
  2. How much exoglycosidase should be used?
  3. What are Glycosidases and their uses?
  4. 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?
  5. Do detergents inhibit exoglycosidases/endoglycosidases?

Tech Tips

Repeated freeze/thaw cycles may reduce activity. Recommended storage temperature is 4°C.

Using 1-2 µl is a good starting point for a 1 hr incubation of 1µg of glycoprotein or 100 nM of oligosaccharide.

p-nitrophenyl-a-D-mannopyranoside is NOT a substrate for this enzyme.
