Abstract
N-Linked glycans, extracted from patient sera and healthy control individuals, are analyzed by Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) in combination with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), mass spectrometry (MS) and pattern recognition methods. MALDI-IMS-MS data were collected in duplicate for 58 serum samples obtained from individuals diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus (BE, 14 patients), high-grade dysplasia (HGD, 7 patients), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC, 20 patients) and disease-free control (NC, 17 individuals). A combined mobility distribution of 9 N-linked glycans is established for 90 MALDI-IMS-MS spectra (training set) and analyzed using a genetic algorithm for feature selection and classification. Two models for phenotype delineation are subsequently developed and as a result, the four phenotypes (BE, HGD, EAC and NC) are unequivocally differentiated. Next, the two models are tested against 26 blind measurements. Interestingly, these models allowed for the correct phenotype prediction of as many as 20 blinds. Although applied to a limited number of blind samples, this methodology appears promising as a means of discovering molecules from serum that may have capabilities as markers of disease.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most common and essential protein modifications. Glycans conjugated to biomolecules modulate the function of such molecules through both direct recognition of glycan structures and indirect mechanisms that involve the control of protein turnover rates, stability, and conformation. The biological attributes of glycans in numerous biological processes and implications in a number of diseases highlight the necessity for comprehensive characterization of protein glycosylation. This chapter reviews cutting-edge methods and tools developed to facilitate quantitative glycomics. This chapter highlights the different methods employed for the release and purification of glycans from biological samples. The most effective labeling methods developed for sensitive quantitative glycomics are also described and discussed. The chromatographic approaches that have been used effectively in glycomics are also highlighted.

Abstract
Three disease phenotypes, Barrett's esophagus (BE), high-grade dysplasia (HGD), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and a set of normal control (NC) serum samples are examined using a combination of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), mass spectrometry (MS), and principal component analysis (PCA) techniques. Samples from a total of 136 individuals were examined, including 7 characterized as BE, 12 as HGD, 56 as EAC, and 61 as NC. In typical data sets, it was possible to assign ∼20 to 30 glycan ions based on MS measurements. Ion mobility distributions for these ions show multiple features. In some cases, such as the [S1H5N4+3Na]3+ and [S1F1H5N4+3Na]3+ glycan ions, the ratio of intensities of high-mobility features to low-mobility features vary significantly for different groups. The degree to which such variations in mobility profiles can be used to distinguish phenotypes is evaluated for 11 N-linked glycan ions. An outlier analysis on each sample class followed by an unsupervised PCA using a genetic algorithm for pattern recognition reveals that EAC samples are separated from NC samples based on 46 features originating from the 11-glycan composite IMS distribution.

Abstract
Aberrant glycosylation of human glycoproteins is related to various physiological states, including the onset of diseases such as cancer. Consequently, the search for glycans that could be markers of diseases or targets of therapeutic drugs has been intensive. Here, we describe a high-throughput ion mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis of N-linked glycans from human serum. Distributions of glycans are assigned according to their m/z values, while ion mobility distributions provide information about glycan conformational and isomeric composition. Statistical analysis of data from 22 apparently healthy control patients and 39 individuals with known diseases (20 with cirrhosis of the liver and 19 with liver cancer) shows that ion mobility distributions for individual m/z ions appear to be sufficient to distinguish patients with liver cancer or cirrhosis. Measurements of glycan conformational and isomeric distributions by IMS-MS may provide insight that is valuable for detecting and characterizing disease states.

Abstract
A new beta-elimination-based procedure has been devised for a microscale release of O-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. Unlike the conventional Carlson degradation, which leads to formation of alditols, the procedure reported here renders the reducing end intact. Conversion of the liberated oligosaccharides to glycosylamines in ammonia medium is followed by the production of the reducing oligosaccharides through the addition of boric acid. The quantitatively generated oligosaccharides with the reducing end can subsequently be derivatized with a fluorophoric reagent for capillary electrophoresis or, alternatively, analyzed through MALDI mass spectrometry. The microscale version of these chemical steps permits us to investigate structurally O-linked oligosaccharides at very low levels.

Abstract
The affinity interactions of Concanavalin A (Con A) with various saccharide oligomers (dextrins, dextrans, and selected N-linked glycans from various glycoproteins) have been investigated through a capillary electrophoresis approach. Con A has shown a notable binding discrimination between the alpha-1,6-linked dextran and alpha-1,4-linked dextrin oligomers. Both the binding capacity and binding discrimination appear to decrease with an increase in sugar chainlength. While the core structure of N-linked glycans is deemed to be responsible for the overall binding of various glycans to Con A, the presence of mannose units at the non-reducing ends was found to be very beneficial to the affinity interaction with Con A. Finally, a connection between the glycan-lectin interaction and glycoprotein-lectin interaction has also been suggested.

Abstract
Bile-salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) is an enzyme in human milk, which is important for the fat digestion in the newborn infant. BSSL is highly glycosylated and includes one site for N-glycosylation and several sites for O-glycosylation. BSSL has previously been found to express Lewis a, Lewis b, and Lewis x carbohydrate antigens. In this study, glycosylation of BSSL was studied at different times during lactation. BSSL was purified from milk collected individually from four donors at several different times during the first 6 months of lactation. The BSSL glycans were characterized through monosaccharide analysis, high-pH anion-exchange chromatography, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry, and ELISA. Both total carbohydrate content and relative amount of sialic acid were higher in BSSL from the first lactation month as compared to BSSL from milk collected later in lactation. BSSL from the first lactation month also showed a different composition of sialylated O-linked glycans and the N-linked oligosaccharides consisted of lower amounts of fucosylated structures compared to later in lactation. We also found a gradual increase in the expression of the carbohydrate epitope Lewis x on BSSL throughout the lactation period. This study shows that glycosylation of BSSL is dependent on blood group phenotype of the donor and changes substantially during the lactation period.

Abstract
A minor component of the major urinary protein complex of the house mouse was chromatographically isolated and ascertained to be a previously suspected glycoprotein. Using highly sensitive mass-spectrometric techniques for sequencing and linkage analysis, the N-linked oligosaccharides of this glycoprotein were characterized. They were determined to be of the complex type with a wide heterogeneity. The heterogeneity was due to both the degree of sialylation and the presence of galactose residues in either beta(1-3) or beta(1-4) linkages. The biantennary structures were the most pronounced glycans, while tri- and tetraantennary entities were minor.

Abstract
Structures of the N-linked glycans released from porcine kidney diamine oxidase (DAO) were characterized utilizing various analytical techniques, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF-MS), high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE), and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). The oligosaccharide sequences present in DAO were conclusively determined using specific exoglycosidases in conjunction with MALDI/TOF-MS. The structures found in the glycoprotein are primarily linear, di-, or tribranched fucosylated complex type. MS analysis of the esterified N-glycan pool derived from DAO indicated the presence of several di- and trisialylated structures.

A simple microadsorption technique is described to remove detergent additives from oligosaccharide samples before their mass spectrometric analysis. The described methodology has been validated with submicrogram quantities of contaminated glycoproteins. This procedure is applicable to investigating minute quantities of glycans in both the positive- and negative-ion mode of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The detailed structures of N- glycans derived from bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) found in human milk were determined by combining exoglycosidase digestion with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The N- glycan structures were conclusively determined in terms of complexity and degree of fucosylation. Ion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, together with mass-spectral analysis of the esterified N- glycans, indicated the presence of monosialylated structures. The molecular mass profile of esterified N- glycans present in BSSL further permitted the more detailed studies through collision-induced dissociation (CID) and sequential exoglycosidase cleavages. The N- glycan structures were elucidated to be complex/dibranched, fucosylated/complex/dibranched, monosialylated/complex/dibranched, and monosialylated/fucosylated/dibranched entities.

Abstract
Vomeromodulin, a putative pheromone transporter of the rat vomeronasal organ, was isolated by lectin chromatography, purified, and subjected to a mass spectrometric (MS) system of glycan structural determination. Through a combination of exoglycosidase treatments and measurements by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS, the N-glycans of vomeromodulin were identified as mainly sialylated and fucosylated biantennary structures. The microheterogeneity of N-glycan structures was also due to the presence of galactose residues with different types of linkages.

Abstract
Using ribonuclease B and human alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) as model glycoproteins, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation (CID) is validated here as an effective tool for oligosaccharide sequencing. The spectra acquired for high-mannose and complex oligosaccharide structures show characteristic fragments resulting from cleavages of the glycosidic bonds and a few cross-ring cleavages. Esterification of the sialic acid residues is essential in stabilizing the acidic N-linked oligosaccharides. An important analytical feature observed in all acquired spectra is the occurrence of cleavages on the same antenna up to the branching point, as deduced from the absence of fragmentation due to the simultaneous cleavages on two or more antennas.

Abstract
Negative-ion matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectra of sialyated glycoconjugates were acquired employing 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) in conjunction with spermine as a co-matrix. The addition of spermine to DHB permitted an improved crystal formation as well as a higher analyte solubility. Moreover, DHB/spermine appears to minimize alkali adduct formation, thus allowing the sample analysis without desalting. The combined matrix permitted the analysis of complex sialylated and sialylated/fucosylated structures down to the femotomole range. The ability to use such a matrix also facilitates determination of the sialic acid linkages (in combination with a specific enzyme cleavage). The matrix also appears suitable for studies on gangliosides.

Abstract
Very small quantities of glycoproteins were directly processed on a MALDI sampling plate prior to their mass spectrometric investigations. The on-plate digestion with N-glycanase released effectively the corresponding oligosaccharides in very short times, irrespective of their molecular mass. The following treatment with an array of exoglycosidase enzymes enables sequencing and a linkage-form determination in analysis times that are considerably shorter than achieved previously: the entire structural determination on a glycoprotein can be completed in one day, with a minimum substrate consumption. Ribonuclease B, bovine fetuin, human alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, and the diamine oxidase (from porcine kidney) have been used to illustrate different aspects of the on-plate sample treatment/MALDI mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The effect of the ionic strength of the running electrolyte on selectivity and resolution of 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) derivatives of carboxylated monosaccharides and sialooligosaccharides derived from gangliosides was evaluated in capillary electrophoresis in the absence of electroosmotic flow and at subambient temperature. The acidic saccharides used in this study were derivatized with ANDSA fluorescing tag to facilitate their detection by laser-induced fluorescence. To maximize resolution among the derivatized saccharides, commercially available fused-silica capillaries with 'zero' electroosmotic flow having polyvinyl alcohol coating on their inner walls were used as the separation capillaries. The effective electrophoretic mobility (mu) of the various ANDSA derivatized mono- and oligosaccharides decreased linearly with the inverse of the square root of the buffer concentration (1/square root of C) used in the running electrolyte. The extent of screening of the charge on the solute by the electrolyte counterions varied among the various saccharides as was manifested by the slopes of the lines of mu vs. 1/square root of C. Increasing the ionic strength of the running electrolyte allowed, via its charge screening effect, the modulation of selectivity thus adjusting the resolution of closely related saccharides.

Abstract
Three alkylglycoside surfactants, namely n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (OG), n-nonyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (NG), and n-octyl-beta-D-maltopyranoside (OM), were compared in the enantiomeric separation of dansyl amino acids, binaphthyl phosphate, bupivacaine and warfarin. While only OM exhibited an enantioselectivity toward warfarin, bupivacaine, and dansyl tryptophan, all three surfactants were effective in the enantiomeric resolution of napthyl phosphate and other dansyl amino acids. With the exception of naphthyl phosphate, which could be resolved enantiomerically with OM at surfactant concentrations below the CMC, all solutes required surfactant concentrations greater than the CMC value. This was attributed to the strong hydrophobic association of napthyl phosphate with the OM monomers and to the presence of maltoside residue in the OM surfactant. In general, the optimum surfactant concentration needed for maximum enantiomeric resolution was an inverse function of the hydrophobic character of the solute. Under a given set of conditions, the enantiomeric resolution exhibited by the alkylglycoside surfactants was largely influenced by the extent and loci of solute solubilization into the micelle, and by the nature of the chiral sugar head group of the surfactant.

Abstract
A novel chiral nonionic surfactant, namely octyl-b-D-maltopyranoside (OM), was evaluated in chiral capillary electrophoresis of fluorescently labeled phenoxy acid herbicides. The labeling of the analytes with 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) permitted a concentration detection limit of 5 x 10-10 M using laser-induced fluorescence detection. This limit of detection allowed the determination of ultradiluted solutions of the ANDSA-derivatized phenoxy acid herbicides whose concentration was a low as 10-11 M (i.e. 2.2 ppt) by applying the concept of field-amplified sample stacking (FASS). The sample injection by FASS did not adversely affect separation efficiencies, resolution and reproducibility of the electrophoretic system. The tagging of the phenoxy acid herbicides with ANDSA increased the hydrophobicity of the analytes, thus favoring an enhanced solubilization of the derivatized herbicides in the OM micellar phase. The net results of this effect were a much shorter analysis time and an improved enantiomeric resolution of the derivatives when compared to underivatized phenoxy acid herbicides. The optimum surfactant concentration required for maximum resolution decreased with increasing hydrophobicity of the analyte, with the least hydrophobic analyte requiring higher surfactant concentration. Because of the two permanently charged sulfonic acid groups of the ANDSA tag, the pH of the running electrolyte had little effect on the enantiomeric resolution of the derivatized herbicides. Due to its salting-out effect and increasing the micellized surfactant concentration, increasing the ionic strength of the running electrolyte increased the enantiomeric resolution of the least hydrophobic analytes. Conversely, increasing the percent methanol in the running electrolyte decreased the enantiomeric resolution of the least hydrophobic analytes due to a decrease strength of solute-micelle association. For hydrophobic analytes, existed an optimum percent of methanol existed for maximum enantiomeric resolution.

Abstract
Eight different glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharides were selectively labeled via their carboxylic acid group with 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) by a condensation reaction between the amino group of ANDSA and the carboxylic acid group of the saccharides in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. This derivatization reaction yielded stable derivatives with percentage yields as high as 97%. The ANDSA disaccharide derivatives were readily detected by on-column laser induced fluorescence (LIF) with a He-Cd laser at 325 nm. With LIF, the limit of detection was at the nanomolar level, three orders of magnitude lower than the limit of detection of underivatized disaccharides in the uv at 231 nm. In addition, due to the presence of two strong sulfonic acid groups in the ANDSA tag, the derivatives were readily separated at acidic pH (i.e., pH 4.0-5.0) using 100 mM sodium acetate buffers as the running electrolytes. The addition of polycationic spermine in small amounts to the running electrolytes provided different selectivity with baseline resolution in the pH range 6.0-7.0, and the excess ANDSA migrated ahead of the ANDSA disaccharides.

Abstract
A chiral alkylglucoside surfactant, namely n-octyl-beta-D-maltopyranoside (OM), was evaluated in the enantiomeric separation of phenoxy acid herbicides. The enantiomeric resolution of the phenoxy acid herbicides could be manipulated readily by adjusting the surfactant concentration, ionic strength, pH, the percent organic modifier and separation temperature. The optimum surfactant concentration needed for maximum enantiomeric resolution varied among the different analytes, and was an inverse function of the hydrophobicity of the phenoxy acid herbicides with the most hydrophobic solute requiring less surfactant concentration for attaining a baseline enantiomeric resolution. Due to the ionic nature of the phenoxy acid herbicides, increasing the pH of the running electrolyte increased the degree of ionization of the acidic herbicides thus decreasing their association with the chiral micelles and in turn their enantiomeric resolution. Increasing the ionic strength of the running electrolyte seems to enhance both the solubilization of the solute in the micelle and the chiral interaction of the solute with the micelle with a net increase in enantiomeric resolution. The percent of added methanol had a varying effect on the resolution of the various enantiomers in the sense that it enhanced the enantiomeric resolution for the most hydrophobic solutes while it decreased the enantiomeric resolution for the weakly hydrophobic ones. Thermostating the capillary column at subambient temperature improved enantiomeric resolution.

Abstract
This report describes the coupling of capillary enzyme reactors to capillary electrophoresis, which is termed capillary enzymophoresis. In the present study, the capillary enzyme reactors were prepared by immobilizing RNA-modifying enzymes, e.g., RNAse T1 and RNAse U2, on the inner walls of 50 microns fused-silica capillaries. These microreactors served to selectively modify the solutes (or substrates) before entering the separation capillary. Capillary enzymophoresis using single or mixed enzyme reactors proved useful in identifying minute amounts of dinucleotides as well as the fingerprinting of tRNAs. The immobilized RNase T1 and RNase U2 displayed their usual enzymic activities toward RNA fragments and in addition exhibited different activity-pH dependency than the soluble enzymes. This was attributed to microenvironmental effects arising from the charged nature of the capillary walls in the close proximity of the immobilized enzymes. The enzyme reactors were reusable for several RNA samples and showed chemical and thermal stability.

Abstract
The most suitable conditions for selective precolumn derivatization of sialooligosaccharides, derived from gangliosides, with 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) and the subsequent separation of the derivatives by capillary electrophoresis are described. ANDSA-sialooligosaccharide derivatives, which fluoresce at 420 nm when excited at 315 nm, were readily detected in capillary electrophoresis using an on-column lamp-operated fluorescence detector. In addition, the precolumn derivatization described here, which exploited the reactivity of the carboxylic acid group of the sialic acid residue of the oligosaccharides, replaced each weak carboxylic acid group of the parent sugar by two strong sulfonic acid groups. This allowed for electrophoresis over a wide range of pH and improved the resolution of the derivatives when compared to those obtained with underivatized sialooligosaccharides under identical separation conditions. The separation of sialooligosaccharides was best achieved when 75 mM borate, pH 10.0, was used as the running electrolyte. The derivatization and separation conditions described herein are expected to be readily transposed to the capillary electrophoresis of other sialooligosaccharides such as those derived from glycoproteins.

Abstract
This report is concerned with the introduction of novel surface modification involving the covalent attachment of branched, high molecular weight dextrans and subsequent crosslinking with polyether chains on the inner surface of fused silica capillaries with the aim of producing hydrophilic capillaries with reduced electroosmotic flow (EOF). Three different molecular mass dextrans, namely 45, 71 or 150 kDa were covalently attached to the capillary surface, and subsequently crosslinked with diepoxypolyethylene glycol (PEG). This chemistry produced stable coating over a wide range of conditions including high and low pH aqueous solutions. Moreover, the various dextran-PEG-coated capillaries exhibited reduced electroosmotic flow. These features of the dextran-PEG coatings were useful for the separations of basic and acidic proteins, and provided high resolution separation for closely related acidic monosaccharides and sialooligosaccharides.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the precolumn derivatization reaction, recently introduced by our laboratory for the selective labeling of carboxylated monosaccharides, can be readily transposed to other glycoconjugates containing carboxylated sugar residues, namely sialogangliosides. The selective derivatization reaction described here involved the attachment of sulfanilic acid (a UV-absorbing tag) or 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (a UV-absorbing and also fluorescing tag) to the sialic acid moiety of the gangliosides via the carboxylic group in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. This labeling of the sialic acid moiety of the gangliosides with a chromophore and/or fluorophore leads to the formation of an amide bond between the carboxylic group of the sugar residue and the amino group of the derivatizing agent, thus replacing the weak carboxylic acid group of the carbohydrate species by the stronger sulfonic acid group which is ionized over the entire pH range. Furthermore, novel electrolyte systems were introduced and evaluated for the separation of the derivatized and underivatized gangliosides. The addition of acetonitrile or alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) to the running electrolyte was necessary to break-up the aggregation of amphiphilic gangliosides and allowed for their efficient separation as monomers in aqueous media using capillary electrophoresis. Several operating parameters were investigated with these electrolyte systems including the additive concentration as well as the ionic strength, pH and nature of the running electrolyte. Acetonitrile at 50% (v/v) in 5 mM sodium phosphate at high and low pH or 15 mM alpha-CD in 100 mM sodium borate, pH 10.0, proved ideal, in terms of resolution and separation efficiency, for the group separation of mono-, di- and trisialogangliosides. On the other hand, the complete resolution of disialoganglioside isomers (e.g., GD1a and GD1b) necessitated the superimposition of a chromatographic component on the electrophoretic process. This was achieved by adding either a hydrophobic (e.g., decanoyl-N-methylglucamide-borate surfactant complex) or hydrophilic [e.g., poly(vinyl alcohol) or hydroxypropyl cellulose] selectors to the running electrolyte.

Abstract
A new and specific precolumn derivatization reaction for acidic monosaccharides was introduced and evaluated in the separation and sensitive detection of carbohydrates by capillary electrophoresis. The derivatization reaction involved the attachment of sulfanilic acid (a UV absorbing tag) or 7-amino-naphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (a UV absorbing and fluorescing tag) via a condensation reaction between the amino group of the derivatizing agent and the carboxyl group of the sugar in the presence of a water-soluble carbodiimide. The derivatization reaction replaced the weak carboxylic acid of the sugar by a strong sulfonic acid, which is fully ionized at all pH. This allowed the electrophoresis of the sugar derivatives over a wide pH range and permitted the determination of acidic carbohydrates at very low femtomole levels by UV and fluorescence detection.
