Synthetic studies of bi-fluorescence-labeled maltooligosaccharides as substrates for α-amylase on the basis of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)
摘要:
A series of bi-fluorescence-labeled maltooligosaccharides that lead to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was systematically synthesized. Effective FRETs were observed with all of the synthesized probes. Digestion of probes having tetra-, quintet-, hexa- or hepta-saccharidic chain lengths with human saliva alpha-amylase resulted in disappearance of FRET when an excitation wavelength of at 290 nm was used followed by detection at ca. 520 nm due to emission from the dansyl moiety. However, continuous FRET was observed when probes having di- or trisaccharidic chain lengths were used as substrates. In addition to the substrate characteristics based on saccharidic chain length, the reaction rates of digestion for the substrates by amylase were different and also depended on their saccharidic chain length.

Synthesis of bi-fluorescence-labeled maltooligosaccharides for amylase assay was accomplished. Preliminary biological evaluation of both bi-fluorescence-labeled maltohexasaccharide and maltose using alpha-amylase was carried out, and the hexaosyl derivative showed unique variation on the basis of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).
