Abstract
As more is learned about glycoproteins' roles in human health and disease, the biological functionalities of N-linked glycans are becoming more relevant. Protein deglycosylation allows for the selective release of N-glycans and facilitates glycoproteomic investigation into their roles as prebiotics or anti-pathogenic factors. To increase throughput and enzyme reusability, this work evaluated several immobilization methods for an endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase recently discovered from the commensal Bifidobacterium infantis. Ribonuclease B was used as a model glycoprotein to compare N-glycans released by the free and immobilized enzyme. Amino-based covalent method showed the highest enzyme immobilization. Relative abundance of N-glycans and enzyme activity were determined using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Kinetic evaluation demonstrated that upon immobilization, both Vmax and the Km decreased. Optimal pH values of 5 and 7 were identified for the free and immobilized enzyme, respectively. Although a higher temperature (65 vs. 45 °C) favored rapid glycan release, the immobilized enzyme retained over 50% of its original activity after seven use cycles at 45 °C. In view of future applications in the dairy industry, we investigated the ability of this enzyme to deglycosylate whey proteins. The immobilized enzyme released a higher abundance of neutral glycans from whey proteins, while the free enzyme released more sialylated glycans, determined by nano-LC Chip Q-ToF MS.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has found a diversity of applications ranging from localizing metabolites and proteins in tissues to investigating microbial interactions, and as a result is perhaps the fastest growing subfield of mass spectrometry. Advances in surface mass spectrometry technologies are equally applicable to the analysis of arrayed samples. One promising field in which this capacity has been leveraged is the high-throughput analysis of enzyme activity, an important step in the development of a wide range of biotechnologies. This review article describes several emerging approaches that seek to improve the quality and scope of this application of MSI.

Abstract
This review is the fifth update of the original review, published in 1999, on the application of MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2008. The first section of the review covers fundamental studies, fragmentation of carbohydrate ions, use of derivatives and new software developments for analysis of carbohydrate spectra. Among newer areas of method development are glycan arrays, MALDI imaging and the use of ion mobility spectrometry. The second section of the review discusses applications of MALDI MS to the analysis of different types of carbohydrate. Specific compound classes that are covered include carbohydrate polymers from plants, N- and O-linked glycans from glycoproteins, biopharmaceuticals, glycated proteins, glycolipids, glycosides and various other natural products. There is a short section on the use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the study of enzymes involved in glycan processing and a section on the use of MALDI MS to monitor products of the chemical synthesis of carbohydrates with emphasis on carbohydrate-protein complexes and glycodendrimers. Corresponding analyses by electrospray ionization now appear to outnumber those performed by MALDI and the amount of literature makes a comprehensive review on this technique impractical. However, most of the work relating to sample preparation and glycan synthesis is equally relevant to electrospray and, consequently, those proposing analyses by electrospray should also find material in this review of interest.

Abstract
A new surface-based MALDI-Tof-MS glycosyl hydrolase assay has been developed in which lipid-tagged oligosaccharides, representing defined fragments of major plant cell wall polysaccharides, are immobilized via hydrophobic interactions on an alkylthiol functionalised gold sample plate and employed in the functional screening of several purified enzymes, environmental samples and saliva.

Abstract
Compared to other analytical methods, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) presents several unique advantages for the structural characterization of degradation products of carbohydrates. Our final goal is to implement this technique as a high-throughput platform, with the aim of exploring natural bio-diversity to discover new carbohydrate depolymerizing enzymes. In this approach, a variety of carbohydrates will be used as enzymes substrates and MALDI-MS will be employed to monitor the oligosaccharides produced. One drawback of MALDI, however, is that the choice of the matrix is largely dependent on the chemical properties of the analyte. In this context, our objective in the present work was to find the smallest set of MALDI matrices able to detect chemically heterogeneous oligosaccharides. This was done through the performance evaluation of more than 40 MALDI matrices preparations. Homogeneity of analyte-matrix deposits was considered as a critical feature, especially since the final objective is to fully automate the analyses. Evaluation of the matrices was done by means of a rigorous statistical approach. Amongst all tested compounds, our work proposes the use of the DHB/DMA ionic matrix as the most generic matrix, for rapid detection of a variety of polysaccharides including neutral, anionic, methylated, sulfated, and acetylated compounds. The selected matrices were then used to screen crude bacterial incubation media for the detection of enzymatic degradation products.

Abstract
We review the literature that describes how (matrix-assisted) laser desorption/ionization (MA)LDI target plates can be used not only as sample supports, but beyond that: as functional parts of analytical protocols that incorporate detection by MALDI-MS or matrix-free LDI-MS. Numerous steps of analytical procedures can be performed directly on the (MA)LDI target plates prior to the ionization of analytes in the ion source of a mass spectrometer. These include homogenization, preconcentration, amplification, purification, extraction, digestion, derivatization, synthesis, separation, detection with complementary techniques, data storage, or other steps. Therefore, we consider it helpful to define the "lab-on-a-plate" as a format for carrying out extensive sample treatment as well as bioassays directly on (MA)LDI target plates. This review introduces the lab-on-plate approach and illustrates it with the aid of relevant examples from the scientific and patent literature.

Abstract
In today's field of plant cell wall research, insights into the structure of wall components are obtained using many different techniques, ranging from spectroscopic and microscopic to chemical and biochemical. In this chapter, we describe one method: oligosaccharide mass profiling (OLIMP). Using OLIMP, we can harness the selective power of a specific wall hydrolase together with the speed and sensitivity of mass spectrometry to provide highly reproducible structural and compositional information about the wall molecule of interest.

Abstract
The plasma membrane acts as the primary interface between the cellular cytoplasm and the extracellular environment. To investigate the function of the plasma membrane in response to flooding stress, plasma membrane was purified from root and hypocotyl of soybean seedlings using an aqueous two-phase partitioning method. Purified plasma membrane proteins with 81% purity were analyzed using either two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry and protein sequencing (2-DE MS/sequencer)-based proteomics or nanoliquid chromatography followed by mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS)-based proteomics. The number of hydrophobic proteins identified by nanoLC-MS/MS-based proteomics was compared with those identified by 2-DE MS/sequencer-based proteomics. These techniques were applied to identify the proteins in soybean that are responsive to flooding stress. Results indicate insights of plasma membrane into the response of soybean to flooding stress: (i) the proteins located in the cell wall are up-regulated in plasma membrane; (ii) the proteins related to antioxidative system play a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage; (iii) the heat shock cognate protein plays a role in protecting proteins from denaturation and degradation during flooding stress; and (iv) the signaling related proteins might regulate ion homeostasis.

Abstract
The growing interest in the conversion of plant biomass into biofuels has recently highlighted the lack of analytical techniques that are able to profile the fine structures of plant cell-wall polysaccharides. Here we present a new liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) platform called Oligosaccharide Quantitation using Isotope Tagging (OliQuIT) developed for profiling the oligosaccharides derived from glycosyl hydrolase digestion of polysaccharides. The method is demonstrated using different arabinoxylan-derived oligosaccharide samples, which are reductively aminated with either the light (12C6) or heavy (13C6) form of aniline. The complex oligosaccharide mixtures are analysed by capillary normal-phase (NP)-LC and ESI-MS. Importantly, arabinoxylan oligosaccharide isomers are separated by NP-LC and their relative abundance in different samples can be determined from the intensities of ions labeled with the different isotopes. OliQuIT will be of use in multiple applications, including screening for plant varieties with improved saccharification properties, characterizing glycosyl hydrolase specificities and analysing plant glycosyl transferase mutants.
