Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: an Update for 2011–2012
ANALYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES AND GLYCOCONJUGATES BY MATRIX-ASSISTED LASER DESORPTION/IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETRY: AN UPDATE FOR 2011–2012 David J. Harvey* Department of Biochemistry, Oxford Glycobiology Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3QU, UK Received 19 June 2014; accepted 15 January 2015 Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com). DOI 10.1002/mas.21471 This review is the seventh update of the original article published text. As the review is designed to complement the earlier work, in 1999 on the application of MALDI mass spectrometry to the structural formulae, etc. that were presented earlier are not analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings repeated. However, a citation to the structure in the earlier work coverage of the literature to the end of 2012. General aspects is indicated by its number with a prefix (i.e., 1/x refers to such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, structure x in the first review and 2/x to structure x the second). MALDI imaging, and fragmentation are covered in the first part Books, general reviews, and review-type articles directly of the review and applications to various structural types concerned with, or including, MALDI analysis of carbohydrates constitute the remainder. The main groups of compound are and glycoconjugates to have been published during the review oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glyco- period are listed in Table 1. Reviews relating to more specific sides, and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented aspects of MALDI analysis are listed in the appropriate sections. in tabular form. Also discussed are medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions, and II.
