Popis: High-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled to pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) is a powerful analytical technique enabling the high-resolution separation and sensitive quantification of oligosaccharides. Here, we describe a general method for the determination of glycoside hydrolase kinetics that harnesses the intrinsic power of HPAEC-PAD to simultaneously monitor the release of multiple products under conditions of low substrate conversion. Thus, the ability to track product release under initial-rate conditions with substrate concentrations as low as 5 μM enables the determination of Michaelis-Menten kinetics for glycosidase activities, including hydrolysis and transglycosylation. This technique may also be readily extended to other carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), including polysaccharide lyases, and glycosyl transferases.
