Linkages internal standard

Methanolysis of standard uronic acids has been studied by Inoue and Miyawaki in regard to the depolymerization of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate. These workers found the glucosiduronic linkage to ga-lactosamine to be rather resistant to methanolysis, but that it is more efficiently cleaved after deamination of the amino galactoside, with its conversion into 2,5-anhydrotalose. For iduronic, glucuronic, and man-nuronic acids released from a polymer, it was found that the peaks monitored for these acids, relative to an internal standard, increase during the first 8 h of methanolysis (M hydrogen chloride, 100°) and remain constant for up to 20 h of methanolysis. This indicated that 8 h is required for complete methanolysis, and that the monosaccharides liberated are stable to the conditions of methanolysis.

Disadvantages of the NMR method compared to other techniques include (1) the very high cost of a NMR instrument compared to HPLC or GC/MS systems, (2) some signal overlap of sugar resonances results in die need to adopt a quantification algorithm in which several assumptions are made (see below), (3) an additional step or internal standard is required to obtain absolute quantification of sugar concentration for hydrolyzates and, (4) no linkage information is derived. 

BS 3424 also has a simple towed sled method which is very briefly described such that there is too little control of apparatus parameters for it to be adequate for more general or accurate work. The drive linkage is not specified in detail and some apparatus in use would lack stiffness. A better text for a towed sled is given in the international, British and European standard for plastics film40 which recognises the importance of parameters such as stiffness of the drive. 

Deal Prospecting Based on local knowledge and economic set-up, the market development and sales team prospect for lending candidates that fall within credit policy and underwriting standards. They use networked capabilities for introductions and access to potential borrowers. The bank uses linkage capabilities and investment capabilities in accessing borrowers and internal project finance appraisal systems.
