摘要

Proteomics research on glycan alterations has received great attention owing to their implications in disease initiation and progression. Determination of the glycoprotein expression remains one of the most challenging tasks as the glycan residues in a given glycoprotein exist in complex branched structures and differ in linkage. In view of the vital role of glycan changes in cellular processes and disease progression, there has been an increased interest in developing methodologies for the detection of these changes. A subset of proteomics methods are discussed here that demonstrate the utility of the glycan-free de-N-glycopeptide analysis for the screening of complex glycoproteome as well as discovery of glycopeptide/glycoprotein biomarkers.
