The polyacrylamide support used in this product excludes molecules greater than 1800 MW from entering the internal spaces of the beads, allowing only smaller molecules to interact and bind with the full measure of boronate ligand. Consequently, the resin does not purify glycosylated proteins efficiently, although it has been used successfully for this application. Boronic acid affinity chromatography has been used to isolate ribonucleoside, to purify nucleosidyl peptide, separate ribonucleosidases in tissue extracts, separate RNA and oligoribonucleotide, and determine of the amount of non-enzymatic glycosylation present in peripheral nerve from diabetic and control rats and dogs.
