Structural Analysis of Glycans by MALDI-TOF and LC-ESI-MS
Reduced glycans were analyzed by LC-ESI-MS with a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) column (0.32 µm x 150 mm) operated by an Ultimate RSLC (Thermo Scientific, Vienna) connected to a Maxis 4 G Q-TOF MS (Bruker, Bremen, Germany)25 (link). N-glycans from white kidney beans were used as reference25 (link). MS/MS was performed in positive mode.
The monosaccharide constituents were analyzed after hydrolysis of glycan pools of fractions with 4 M trifluoroacetic acid at 100° for 4 h. Sugars were reduced with NaBD4, peracetylated and analyzed on an Agilent J&W HP-5ms GC Column (30 m x 0.25 mm, 0.25 µm) installed in a GC-MS system (GC 7820 A & MSD 5975, Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany). Partially methylated alditol acetates were available from a previous study29 (link) and their relative retention times were additionally confirmed by literature data30 .
Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Purified Enzyme
Data generated by mass spectrometry was processed using Data Analysis 4 (Bruker Daltonics) and MASCOT [28] (link). Deconvolution was performed using MaxEnt software (Micromass, Manchester, UK).
Recombinant Protein Analysis by LC-QTOF
coupled with an maXis4G Q-TOF MS (Bruker) using an ESI in positive mode. The samples were run on an Aeris Widepore XB-C8, 150 x 2.1 mm, 3.6 μm dp column (Phenomenex, USA). LC conditions:
A: H2O + 0.1% FA; B: ACN + 0.1% FA at a flow rate of 300 μL/min and 45 °C. 0 min: 98% A / 2% B, 0.5 min: 98% A / 2% B, 10.5 min: 25% A / 75% B, 13.5 min: 25% A / 75% B, 14 min: 98% A / 2% B.
The LC flow was split to 75 μL/min before entering the maXis4G hr-ToF mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) using the standard Bruker ESI source. In the source region, the temperature was set to 180 °C, the capillary voltage was 4000 V, the dry-gas flow was 6.0 L/min and the nebulizer was set to 1.1 bar. Mass spectra were acquired in positive ionization mode ranging from 150-2500 m/z at 2.5 Hz scan rate. Protein masses were deconvoluted by using the Maximum Entropy algorithm (Copyright 1991-2004 Spectrum Square Associates, Inc.).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
