Abstract:
The present invention provides novel methods for the chromatographic analysis of glycans using high purity chromatographic materials comprising a chromatographic surface wherein the chromatographic surface comprises a hydrophobic surface group and one or more ionizable modifier and a labeling reagent which is capable of providing amphipathic and strongly basic labeling moieties to a sample to be analyzed.
Abstract:
Methods of analyzing glycosylated biomolecules include the steps of producing a deglycosylation mixture of biomolecules deglycosylated by natural or synthetic enzymatic or chemical techniques; providing a reagent solution having a labeling reagent in a polar aprotic, non-nucleophilic organic solvent; and mixing the deglycosylation mixture with the reagent solution in an excess of labeling reagent to produce derivatized glycosylamines. The method steps can be carried out purposefully without depletion of protein matter. A quenching solution can be added to the reaction mixture so that the pH of the reaction mixture is shifted to above 10. The yield of derivatized glycosylamines can be in an amount of about 80 to about 100 mole percent of the reaction mixture with minimal overlabeling, less than 0.2 mole percent. The derivizated glycosylamines can be separated from the reaction mixture and detected by chromatographic detection, fluorescence detection, mass spectrometry ("MS"), or Ultra Violet ("UV") detection and/or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
Methods for derivatization of biomolecules including glycans or other biopolymers with one or more fluorescent, MS active compounds by reductive amination or rapid tagging in order to produce derivatized glycan having a pKa >7 and between about 200 Å and about 1000 Å of nonpolar surface area are described.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for making rapid labeled dextran ladders and other calibrants useful in liquid chromatography. The methodologies include a two-step process comprising a reductive amination step of providing a reducing glycan and reacting it with a compound having a primary amine to produce an intermediate compound. The intermediate compound is then rapidly tagged with a rapid tagging reagent to produce the rapid labeled dextran ladder.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methodologies where a glycosylated protein or peptide is subjected to peptide bond cleavage to produce a glycan amino acid complex wherein the N-linked or O- linked glycan is attached. A derivatization reagent is then attached to the N terminus of the amino acid to provide a labeled glycan amino acid complex. The labeled glycan amino acid complex is then separated from the matrix via one or more methods including HILIC SPE, and injected directly onto an LC or LC/MS system for analysis, detection and characterization of the glycosylated protein or the peptide.
