Immobilized recombinant glutathione-S-transferase (GST) tagged PNGase F enzyme microcolumns have been developed.
Rapid and efficient removal of N-linked carbohydrates from glycoproteins has been proved.
The method was tested with all major N-linked glycoprotein types of: (i) neutral (IgG), (ii) highly sialylated (fetuin), and (iii) high mannose (ribonuclease B) carbohydrate containing glycoprotein standards.
