This review describes the application of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)
mass spectrometry to carbohydrate analysis and covers the period 1991–1998. The …

Most proteins are glycosylated. Mass spectrometry methods are used for mapping
glycoprotein glycosylation and detailed glycan structural determination. This technology …

The structural uniqueness of carbohydrates has fascinated many generations of scientists.
Through linking carbohydrates together and with other structural entities such as peptides …

Negative ion spectra of N-linked glycans were produced by electrospray from a dilute
solution of the glycans and various salts in methanol: water using a Waters-Micromass Q …

A correlation is found between the fragment ion yield and the degree of branching for
oligosaccharides analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/Fourier transform …

Derivatives were prepared from N-linked glycans by reductive amination from 2-
aminobenzamide, 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminoquinoline, 2-aminoacridone, 4-amino-N-(2 …

glycosylated polypeptide is generally associated with a population of different glycan …

The electrospray mass spectra and collision‐induced fragmentation of neutral N‐linked
glycans obtained from glycoproteins were examined with a Q‐TOF mass spectrometer. The …

The application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to
the analysis of carbohydrates and their conjugates with proteins and lipids is reviewed …
