Simultaneous N-Deglycosylation and Digestion of Complex Samples on S-Traps Enables Efficient Glycosite Hypothesis Generation.

N-linked glycosylation is an important post-translational modification that is difficult to identify and quantify in traditional bottom-up proteomics experiments. Enzymatic deglycosylation of proteins by peptide:-glycosidase F (PNGase F) prior to digestion and subsequent mass spectrometry analysis has been shown to improve coverage of various N-linked glycopeptides, but the inclusion of this step may add up to a day to an already lengthy sample preparation process. An efficient way to integrate deglycosylation with bottom-up proteomics would be a valuable contribution to the glycoproteomics field.

PrIntMap-R: An Online Application for Intraprotein Intensity and Peptide Visualization from Bottom-Up Proteomics.

Bottom-up proteomics (BUP) produces rich data, but visualization and analysis are time-consuming and often require programming skills. Many tools analyze these data at the proteome-level, but fewer options exist for individual proteins. Sequence coverage maps are common, but do not proportion peptide intensity.
