The total glycan moiety was released in a single step from native glycoproteins by a nonreductive beta-elimination procedure. The generated oligosaccharides were further derivatized either with the hydrophobic fluorophore 2-aminoacridone (AMAC) or the charged 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (ANTS) fluorophore, and the resulting fluorescent derivatives were separated according to their hydrodynamic size or charge with high-resolution gel electrophoresis. Both N- and O-glycans released by this beta-elimination procedure might be analyzed simultaneously. AMAC derivatization allows a rapid separation of neutral and charged oligosaccharides without prior fractionation. Derivatized oligosaccharide species were then eluted from the gel slices and analyzed by mass spectrometry. This methodology allowed the rapid structural characterization of each glycan in term of monosaccharide composition and sequence. Using this technique we were able to screen several heterogeneous O-glycan mixtures isolated at the picomolar range from reference glycoproteins or mucins.

Affinity capture (AC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is highly utilized throughout the drug discovery pipeline to determine small-molecule target selectivity and engagement. However, the tedious sample preparation steps and time-consuming MS acquisition process have limited its use in a high-throughput format. Here, we report an automated workflow employing biotinylated probes and streptavidin magnetic beads for small-molecule target enrichment in the 96-well plate format, ending with direct sampling from EvoSep Solid Phase Extraction tips for liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis.

Compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) using liquid chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC-IRMS) is a powerful tool for determining the isotopic composition of carbon in analytes from complex mixtures. However, LC-IRMS methods are constrained to fully aqueous eluents. Previous efforts to overcome this limitation were unsuccessful, as the use of organic eluents in LC-IRMS was deemed impossible.

In metabolomic analysis based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, detecting and quantifying intricate objects is a massive job. Current peak picking methods still cause high rates of incorrectly picked peaks to influence the reliability and reproducibility of results. To address these challenges, we developed QuanFormer, a deep learning method based on object detection designed to accurately quantify peak signals.
