Enzymatic Derivatization of Glucose and Glycerol. (A) Derivatization
Schematic. Glucose and glycerol are converted to glucose-6-phosphate
(Glc-6-P) and sn-glycerol-3-phosphate
(Gro-3-P) using hexokinase and glycerokinase and ATP. (B)
Extracted ion chromatograms comparing the detection of the underivatized glucose
(Glc) (m/z 179.0556) to derivatized of Glc-6-P (m/z 259.0224).
The Glc intensity is enhanced 5X. (C) Extracted ion chromatograms comparing the
detection of the underivatized Glycerol (Glo) (m/z 105.0190) to derivatized of
Gro-3-P (m/z 171.0063). (D) Standard curves of Glc and Glo
at 0μM, 5μM, 10μM, 20μM, 30μM, 40μM,
50μM, 75μM, 100μM, 250μM, 500μM,
1000μM, and 2000μM concentrations. R2=0.9978 and 0.9987
for Glc-6-P and Gro-3-P respectively.
