Description Routine isolation, estimation, and characterization of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is quite challenging. This is compounded by
the fact that the analysis is technique-intensive and more often there will be a limitation on the quantity of GAGs available for
various structural, functional and biological studies. In such a scenario, the sample which can be made available for estimation
and elucidation of disaccharide composition and species composition as well remains a challenge. In the present study, we have
determined the feasibility where isolated sulfated GAGs (sGAG) that is estimated by metachromasia is recovered for further
analysis. sGAG-DMMB complex formed after estimation of sGAG byDMMBdye-binding assay was decomplexed and sGAGs
were recovered. Recovered sGAGs were analysed by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis and taken up for disaccharide
composition analysis by HPLC after fluorescent labelling. Good recovery of sGAGs after metachromasia was observed in all
samples of varying levels of purity by this protocol. Further analysis using cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis showed
good separation between species of sGAGs namely chondroitin/dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, with comparatively lesser
interference from hyaluronic acid, a non-sulfated GAG. Analysis of recovered sGAGs, specifically heparan sulfate by HPLC
showed characteristic disaccharide composition akin to that of GAG obtained by the conventional protocol. Thus, in the present
paper, we show that sGAG can be recovered in comparatively purer form after routine estimation and can be used for further
analysis thus saving up on the precious sample.
