  25. Purification glycosphingolipids • Alkaline methanolysis • The Glycolipid fraction from the silicic acid column is treated with mild base to remove contaminating phospholipids. This treatment does not affect glycolipids or gangliosides unless they contain an O-acyl group. The following quantities are used for 1-10mg of glycolipid fraction. Add 1ml of chloroform and 1ml of 0.6 NNaOH in methanol to the dry fraction and allow the mixture to react at room temperature for 1 hour. Then add 1.2 ml of 0.5 N HCL in methanol, 1.7ml of water, and 3.4ml of chloroform, mix well, centrifuge, and remove the lower layer containing the glycolipids. Was the lower layer three times with methanol:water (1:1) and then evaporate it to dryness in vacuo.

  37. Mass spectrometry of intact tmsi derivatives of glycolipids • Mass spectrometry of intact TMS derivatives of glycolipids gives information about the sugar groups, the fatty acid and the sphingosine portion of glycosphingolipids. Bis (trimethylsiyl) trifluroroacetamide (100microliter) and pyridine (50 microliter) are added to 20-200microgram of the purified glycospingolipid in a small capped vial and heated at 60 degrees F for about 30 minutes. An aliquot containing 10-20 microgram of the TMS glycolipid is evaporated to dryness under nitrogen in a mass spectrometer direct probe tube. The samples are volatilized in the mass spectrometer ion source at temperatures ranging 100 degrees to 180 degrees depending on the size of the oligosaccharide unit. • The following information can be obtained by comparison of the resulting mass spectra with those of reference samples: (1) whether the terminal residue is a hexose or hexosamine; (2) the number of and nature of N-acetylneuramine acid groups (i.e., terminal or branched); (3) whether N-acetyl and/or N-glycolylneuraminate is present; (4) information regarding the number of glycosyl residues present and the fatty acid and sphingosine composition. It is essential, because of the limitations of this technique (e.g., the inability to distinguish between hexoses), that it be used in conjunction with other techniques, such as permethylation analyses, and studies with specific glycosidases.

  39. Perbenzoylation McCluer: Methods in Enzymology 138: 1987 • Principle: • Since neutral glycosphingolpids do not possess a characteristic chromophore that permits their quantitation by UV detection, they can be derivatized with benzoylchloride to form stable per-O,N benzoylated products. These products can be quantified by UV light at 280nm or at a higher sensitivity at 230nm. • GSL(200ng) plus N-acetylpsychosine (an internal standard) are dried in N2. Perbenzoylation is carried out by adding 500uL of 10% benzoylchloride in pyridine for 16hr at 37 C. The samples are N2 dried and washed thrice with 1.8mL of methanol: water(saturated with sodium carbonate). The hexane layer is washed and finally dried in N2. The derivatives are dissolved in CCL4(100uL) and a suitable aliquot injected in to the HPLC column(Zipax,E.I DuPont column 2.1 mmx500nm).
