Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is appropriate for all native and reductively aminated glycan classes. HILIC carries the advantage that retention times vary predictably according to oligosaccharide composition. Chromatographic conditions are compatible with sensitive and reproducible glycomics analysis of large numbers of samples. The data are extremely useful for quantitative profiling of glycans expressed in biological tissues. With these analytical developments, the rate-limiting factor for widespread use of HILIC LC/MS in glycomics is the analysis of the data. In order to eliminate this problem, a Java-based open source software tool, Manatee, was developed for targeted analysis of HILIC LC/MS glycan datasets. This tool uses user-defined lists of compositions that specify the glycan chemical space in a given biological context. The program accepts high-resolution LC/MS data using the public mzXML format and is capable of processing a large data file in a few minutes on a standard desktop computer. The program allows mining of HILIC LC/MS data with an output compatible with multivariate statistical analysis. It is envisaged that the Manatee tool will complement more computationally intensive LC/MS processing tools based on deconvolution and deisotoping of LC/MS data. The capabilities of the tool were demonstrated using a set of HILIC LC/MS data on organ-specific heparan sulfates.

Adduction on protein nucleophile sites by mustard agents can be monitored to assess detection of retrospective exposure to these agents. Cysteine 34 (Cys34) on human serum albumin was selected as the target of choice. This work targets di- and tripeptides adducted on Cys34 by sulfur mustard, sesquimustard, and nitrogen mustards separated in hydrophilic liquid chromatography (HILIC) and Reversed-Phase (RP) mode.

The aim of this study was to optimize a Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) method using a zwitterionic phosphorylcholine HILIC column for the determination of several Persistent and Mobile Organic Contaminants (PMOC) in wastewater samples. An experimental design approach was implemented to both better understand the retention mechanisms of several polar compounds and to find the optimal operating conditions for their detection and quantification. Eleven PMOCs, with logD ranging from -5.

Article Synopsis
- Marine-derived glycosaminoglycans have unique biological properties, but methods to quickly determine their precise structures have not been fully developed.
- The study optimized the deacetylation process, establishing that a 24-hour hydrazinolysis time produces oligosaccharides with a polymerization degree of 2-14.
- By using HILIC-MS/MS coupled with GlycReSoft for data analysis, the researchers identified specific oligosaccharides and confirmed that this method could reliably analyze and match mixed oligosaccharide components, aiding in their industrial application.

Article Synopsis
- Metabolomics using HILIC-MS is effective for identifying polar metabolites and aiding in biomarker discovery, but matrix effects can complicate biological analysis.
- Evaluation of matrix effects is critical in method development, and this study tested two techniques: stable isotope labeled-internal standards and post-column infusion (PCI).
- Results indicated that the PCI method is more advantageous for untargeted analysis, showing better performance in assessing matrix effects and highlighting significant ion suppression in various plasma samples.
Human IgG Subclasses Differ in the Structural Elements of Their -Glycosylation.

Although immunoglobulin G (IgG) harbors just one -glycosylation site per heavy chain, this glycosylation plays a key role in modulating its function. In human serum, IgG is classified into four subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), each characterized by unique features in their sequences, disulfide bridges and glycosylation signatures. While protein glycosylation is typically studied at the compositional level, this severely underestimates the complexity of the molecules involved.
