A practical procedure for isolating and purifying glycopeptides is described, viz. enzymatic hydrolysis-gel permeation chromatography-ion exchange chromatography-reversed phase HPLC. Using this procedure 28 glycopeptides from hen ovalbumin have been isolated some of which hitherto have not been identified. Water was a suitable mobile phase for preparing pure glycopeptides, and control of column temperature was important for good separations and reproducible retention times. Structural confirmation was by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.
