208 results about "Galactosidases" patented technology

Galactosidases are enzymes (glycoside hydrolases) that catalyze the hydrolysis of galactosides into monosaccharides. Galactosides can be classified as either alpha or beta. If the galactoside is classified as an alpha-galactoside, the enzyme is called alpha-galactosidase, and is responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of substrates that contain α-galactosidic residues, such as glycosphingolipids or glycoproteins. On the other hand, if it is a beta-galactoside, it is called beta-galactosidase, and is responsible for breaking down the disaccharide lactose into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose Both varieties of galactosidase are categorized under the EC number 3.2.1.

A method for screening β-galactosidase inhibitors using fluorescence sensing combined with affinity chromatography.

This invention provides a method for screening β-galactosidase inhibitors, belonging to the field of pharmaceutical technology. The first step of this method uses fluorescence sensing technology to rapidly identify natural products with β-Gal inhibitory activity. The principle is based on the fluorescence quenching property of p-nitrophenol (PNP) on sulfur quantum dots (SQDs); β-Gal catalyzes the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (PNPG) to generate the specific product PNP; in the presence of β-Gal, PNPG can be enzymatically catalyzed to generate PNP, quenching the fluorescence of SQDs; when screened for β-Gal inhibitory activity, the fluorescence of SQDs can be restored. The second step uses affinity chromatography to capture components in samples with β-Gal inhibitory activity. This method involves immobilizing β-Gal on a support material, eluting with a solvent to obtain components that can bind to β-Gal, and then using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify the components. This method can rapidly and accurately screen β-Gal inhibitors from natural products.
