Structure elucidation of native N- and O-linked glycans by tandem mass spectrometry (tutorial).
Oligosaccharides play important roles in many biological processes. However, the structural elucidation of oligosaccharides remains a major challenge due to the complexities of their structures. Mass spectrometry provides a powerful method for determining oligosaccharide composition. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS) provides structural information with high sensitivity. Oligosaccharide structures ...
متن کاملDeglycosylation and Sample Cleanup Method for Mass Spectrometry Analysis of N-linked Glycans
l ycosylation is one of the most important types of posttranslational modification (PTM) in proteins. Due to the high d e g ree of hetero g e n e i t y, the characterization of glycans is a challenging task. Mass spectro m e t ry (MS) is a primary tool for biopolymer analysis; howe ve r, the characterization of (native) glycans is complicated by the time-consuming sample preparation and their p...
متن کاملIon mobility-mass spectrometry analysis of serum N-linked glycans from esophageal adenocarcinoma phenotypes.
Three disease phenotypes, Barrett's esophagus (BE), high-grade dysplasia (HGD), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and a set of normal control (NC) serum samples are examined using a combination of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), mass spectrometry (MS), and principal component analysis (PCA) techniques. Samples from a total of 136 individuals were examined, including 7 characterized as BE, 12 as...
متن کاملIon mobility-mass spectrometry of complex carbohydrates: collision cross sections of sodiated N-linked glycans.
Currently, the vast majority of complex carbohydrates are characterized using mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques. Measuring the molecular mass of a sugar, however, immediately poses a fundamental problem: entire classes of the constituting monosaccharide building blocks exhibit an identical atomic composition and, consequently, also an identical mass. Therefore, carbohydrate MS data can be...
متن کاملImaging of N-Linked Glycans from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Sections Using MALDI Mass Spectrometry
Aberrant glycosylation is associated with most of the diseases. Direct imaging and profiling of N-glycans on tissue sections can reveal tissue-specific and/or disease-associated N-glycans, which not only could serve as molecular signatures for diagnosis but also shed light on the functional roles of these biomolecules. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool that has been used to cor...
