Abstract

A thin-layer chromatographic method for the separation with high resolution of [1-3H]-celloligosaccharides on silica gel plates has been developed. Reducing end-labeled glucose through cellohexaose were separated on silica gel plates with three ascents of ethyl acetate:water:methanol (40:15:20; v:v) and each was extracted with an efficiency of 88 ± 3%. Separations of cellooligosaccharides using other adsorbents, solvents, and impregnants are also described. This thin-layer chromatographic method facilitated analysis of the activity of cellulolytic enzymes.
