Abstract

Through direct coupling of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to mass spectrometry (MS) with a sheathless interface, we have identified 77 potential N-glycan structures derived from human serum. We confirmed the presence of N-glycans previously identified by indirect methods, e.g., electrophoretic mobility standards, obtained 31 new N-glycan structures not identified in our prior work, differentiated co-migrating structures, and determined specific linkages on isomers featuring sialic acids. Serum N-glycans were cleaved from proteins, neutralized via methylamidation, and labeled with the fluorescent tag 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid, which renders the glycan fluorescent and provides a -3 charge for electrophoresis and negative-mode MS detection. The neutralization reaction also stabilizes the labile sialic acids. In addition to methylamidation, native charges from sialic acids were neutralized through reaction with 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium to amidate α2,6-linked sialic acids in the presence of ammonium chloride and form lactones with α2,3-linked sialic acids. This neutralization effectively labels each type of sialic acid with a unique mass to determine specific linkages on sialylated N-glycans. For both neutralization schemes, we compared the results from microchip electrophoresis and CE.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
