A sensitive and facile method is described to identify the glycosylation sites and site-spedfic heterogeneity in the carbohydrate attached to glycoproteins. In this procedure, the peptide backbone of the glycoprotein is cleaved enzymatically. The resulting peptide/glycopeptide mixture is divided int

The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-Γight mass spectrometry for the characterization of partially methyl-esteriΓed enzymatic pectin digests is described. The sensitivities of several matrices, positive and negative ion modes and desalting techniques for these acidic oligos
A new way of combining exoglycosidase digestion with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF-MS) is described which permits the structural characterization of underivatized oligosaccharides on low picomole amounts of starting material. The key feature
Serum transferrin from patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome was analysed by matrixassisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry). Abnormal molecular species with a defect of one or two oligosaccharide chains of 2200 Da were clearly iden
While electrospray (ESI) mass spectrometry has already established its potential for the characterization of noncovalent protein complexes, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI/MS) seemed not to be applicable hitherto because of limitations in matrix chemistry and sam
