We have used tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based analysis of glycopeptides in order to identify the composition and structure of rare glycoforms. The results illustrate utility of low-energy MS/MS for structure identification. We have shown the presence of bifucosylated and trifucosylated glycoforms in human α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), a major plasma glycoprotein. Fucosylation in the case of AGP always occurs on the antennae; core fucosylation was not observed.
我们使用基于串联质谱(MS/MS)的糖肽分析方法来鉴定稀有糖型的组成和结构。结果表明低能 MS/MS 对于结构鉴定是有用的。我们已经在人α-1-酸性糖蛋白(AGP)中发现了双岩藻糖基化和三岩藻糖基化的糖型,AGP 是一种主要的血浆糖蛋白。AGP 中的岩藻糖基化总是发生在触角上;未观察到核心岩藻糖基化。
