Glycomics aims to identify the structure and function of the glycome, the complete set of
oligosaccharides (glycans), produced in a given cell or organism, as well as to identify …

Carbohydrates are central players in a number of important biological processes including
cell signaling, cell adhesion, and the regulation of biochemical pathways. Unlike nucleic …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) can
simultaneously record the lateral distribution of numerous biomolecules in tissue slices, but …

Mass spectrometry (MS) continues to play a vital role in defining the structures of N-glycans
and O-glycans in glycoproteins via glycomic and glycoproteomic methodologies. The former …

This review covers recent developments in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analysis via mass
spectrometry (MS). GAGs participate in a variety of biological functions, including cellular …

Lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate-binding proteins. Each lectin has its own
specificity profile. It is believed that lectins exist in all living organisms that produce glycans …

Here we introduce a new shorthand nomenclature for designating the disaccharide subunit
structure of all glycosaminoglycans as a way to compare compositions and describe linear …

The role of ionic liquids (ILs) in analytical chemistry is increasing substantially every year. A
decade ago there were but a handful of papers in this area of research that were considered …

Applications of ionic liquids (ILs) for mass spectrometry (MS) are a burgeoning area and are
promising for real applications. However, the research of ILs for MS is in its infancy and there …

Although heparin is an important and widely prescribed pharmaceutical anticoagulant, its
high degree of sequence microheterogeneity and size polydispersity make molecular-level …
