Abstract
Various assays for the detection and quantitation of carbohydrate-interacting proteins are disclosed. Carbohydrate-interacting proteins include carbohydrate modifying enzymes and carbohydrate binding proteins. The assays employ a fluorophore-labelled carbohydrate substrate that either is capable of being structurally modified by the carbohydrate-modifying enzyme being assayed or changes its electrophoretic gel migration tube upon interaction with a carbohydrate-binding protein. Methods for cloning genes encoding carbohydrate-modifying enzymes are also disclosed.
