Development of methods for the simultaneous visualization of neutral sugars and either sialic acid and its side chain O-acyl variants or O-sulphate ester based on the selective periodate oxidation of sialic acid

The objective of this study was to establish conditions for the selective periodate oxidation of sialic acid, and then use these conditions to develop a series of general methods for the simultaneous visualization of "neutral sugars" (ie. hexose, 6-deoxyhexose and N-acetylhexosamine) and s...
