Interaction of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) with cationic fluorochromes, which are used for binding with DNA, was studied in biological material (urine, extract from hyalin cartilage) obtained from patients with hereditary mucopolysaccharidoses and from healthy persons. Among the four fluorochromes studied in the reactions with standard GAG's, DAPI proved to be the most suitable fluorochrome. Quantitative fluorimetric technique enabled to estimate the GAG concentration and to evaluate the individual content of heparan-SO4 and keratan-SO4 in biological sources. Interaction of DAPI with GAG was electrostatic and depended on stereometry of DAPI-binding sites on the GAG molecule.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009083 Mucopolysaccharidoses Group of lysosomal storage diseases each caused by an inherited deficiency of an enzyme involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). The diseases are progressive and often display a wide spectrum of clinical severity within one enzyme deficiency. Mucopolysaccharidosis
D005456 Fluorescent Dyes Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags. Flourescent Agent,Fluorescent Dye,Fluorescent Probe,Fluorescent Probes,Fluorochrome,Fluorochromes,Fluorogenic Substrates,Fluorescence Agents,Fluorescent Agents,Fluorogenic Substrate,Agents, Fluorescence,Agents, Fluorescent,Dyes, Fluorescent,Probes, Fluorescent,Substrates, Fluorogenic
D006025 Glycosaminoglycans Heteropolysaccharides which contain an N-acetylated hexosamine in a characteristic repeating disaccharide unit. The repeating structure of each disaccharide involves alternate 1,4- and 1,3-linkages consisting of either N-acetylglucosamine (see ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE) or N-acetylgalactosamine (see ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE).
