Analytical separations were done in an LC-2010A system (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) using Luna C8 (3 µm, 50 mm × 4.6 mm) and Sphereclone C18 (5 µm, 250 mm × 10 mm) columns (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA) for peptides and glycopeptides, respectively. Linear gradients of solvent B (0.036% TFA in ACN) into solvent A (0.045% TFA in H2O) were used over 15 and 20 min, respectively, at a 1 mL/min flow rate.
Semi-preparative purifications were done in a SCL-10A system (Shimadzu) using Phenomenex Luna C8 (10 µm, 250 mm × 10 mm) and SphereClone C18 (10 µm, 250 mm × 10 mm) columns for peptides and glycopeptides, respectively. Linear gradients of solvent B (0.1% TFA in ACN) into A (0.1% TFA in H2O) over 30 and 20 min, respectively, were used, at a 5 mL/min flow rate.
