Abstract
The presence of mild electrophiles, such as aldehydes, during the denaturation of glycoproteins or glycopeptides and subsequent enzymatic deglycosylation reduces artifacts in subsequent analyses of the glycans released from the glycoproteins or glycopeptides.
Claims14
A glycosylamines labeling kit, said kit comprising,
- (a) an aldehyde selected from the group consisting of DL-glyceraldehyde, glyceraldehyde dimer, glycoaldehyde dimer, erythrose, pyruvaldehyde, 2-ethylbutyraldehyde, 2-methylbutyraldehyde, 2-methylvaleraldehyde, 4-methyl-4-nitrovaleraldehyde, acetaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, propionaldehyde, or valeraldehyde,
- (b) an amine-reactive dye capable of covalently binding to a free amino or amine end group of a glycoprotein or a glycopeptide under conditions allowing said amine reactive dye to covalently bind to said free amino or amine end group of said glycoprotein or said glycopeptide, and
- (c) instructions on denaturing a glycoprotein or glycopeptide in the presence of said aldehyde.
A kit for labeling by reductive amination a glycan with a reducing end, said kit comprising,
- (a) an aldehyde selected from the group consisting of DL-glyceraldehyde, glyceraldehyde dimer, glycoaldehyde dimer, erythrose, pyruvaldehyde, 2-ethylbutyraldehyde, 2-methylbutyraldehyde, 2-methylvaleraldehyde, 4-methyl-4-nitrovaleraldehyde, acetaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, propionaldehyde, or valeraldehyde,
- (b) a label for reductive amination that covalently binds by reductive amination a glycan with a reducing end when said label and said glycan with said reducing end are contacted under conditions allowing said reductive amination, and (c) instructions on denaturing a glycoprotein or glycopeptide in the presence of said aldehyde.
