Ion trap MS has been utilized in the structure elucidation of a saponin from Quillaja saponaria. With respect to the carbohydrate moieties, this technique allowed the elucidation of the sequence and branching, of six out of seven glycosidic linkages, the precise location of an appended O-acetyl grou

β¦ Synopsis
The early stage products of the Maillard reaction of egg white lysozyme with D-glucose were studied. Incubation with D-glucose at 50 β’ C for 20 days caused reaction on the Lys and Arg residues of lysozyme as follows: all of the six Lys residues and 10 of the 11 Arg residues in lysozyme reacted with D-glucose; Arg 61 did not react with D-glucose. The Lys residues reacted with D-glucose with 1 mol of dehydration per mole of residue, and the Arg residues reacted with 2 mol of dehydration per mole of residue. The major constituent of the Amadori product with the "-amino group of the Lys residue and the D-glucose was found to be the b-pyranose form. The structure of the early stage product of the Maillard reaction of a protein with a sugar is the same as that of an amino acid with a sugar.
