A method for the determination of neutral sugars and hexosamines present in glycoconjugates by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of their phenylthiocarbamyl (PTC) derivatives has been developed. After acid hydrolysis, neutral sugars are converted to glycamines by reaction with ammonium acetate in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride and are subsequently derivatized with phenylisothiocyanate, while the hexosamines present in the same hydrolysate, after separation on Dowex 50, are treated directly with this reagent. HPLC of the PTC-glycamines of the neutral sugars is performed on Microsorb C18 in an isocratic manner while chromatography of the PTC-hexosamines employs a Pico-Tag column with gradient elution to achieve separation from the PTC-amino acids. The procedure has proven to be highly sensitive, requiring as little as picomole amounts for the chromatographic step; monosaccharide compositions determined on glycoproteins and glycopeptides by this method were found to compare favorably to those previously obtained by other techniques.
