Description
Chondroitin Sulfate Biotin binds to streptavidin. Chondroitin Sulfate is labeled with biotin via stable amide bond. Purity: >95% lyophilized powder. Degree of substitution: 1 mol % substitution and at least one biotin molecule per Chondroitin Sulfate polymer.
Properties
Chondroitin sulfate chains are unbranched polysaccharides containing two alternating monosaccharides: D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc). Chondroitin sulfate from terrestrial animals is almost exclusively composed of non-sulfated (O) and monosulfated (A and C) units, while in marine species the proportion of disulfated (D and E) units is higher. Chondroitin sulfate A is sulfated at carbon 4 of the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) sugar, also called chondroitin-4-sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate is highly soluble in water.
