Melibiose-Sepharose® Beads

Melibiose is a reducing disaccharide formed between galactose and glucose by an α-1,6 linkage. It differs from lactose where the galactose and glucose are bonded through a ß-1, 4 linkage. Immobilized melibiose is widely used in the affinity purification of various melibiose binding proteins, such as lectins or galactose binding proteins. BioVision’s high-quality Melibiose-Sepharose® Beads exhibit specific, high-yield purification of lectins from various sources.
