Isolation and Structural Characterization of Sialic Acid-Containing Glycopeptides of the O-GlycosidicType from the Urine of Two Patients with an Hereditary Deliciency in α-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase Activity

Abstract
Glycopeptides have been isolated from the urine of two patients, aged 5 and 6, with a new lysosomal storage disease characterized by a deficiency in .alpha.-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity. Isolation of these glycopeptides was achieved using gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Structural determination was done using one- and two-dimensional 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and FAB mass spectrometry of native and derivatized glycopeptides.
