The present disclosure relates to tailored glycoproteomic methods, and more particularly to methods for the sequencing, mapping and identification of cellular glycoproteins using saccharide-selective bioorthogonal probes. A method is disclosed for saccharide-selective glycoprotein identification (ID) and glycan mapping (GIDmap) that generates glycoproteins tailored with bioorthogonally tagged alkynyl saccharides that can be selectively isolated, allowing for glycoprotein ID and glycan mapping via mass spectromic proteomics, including liquid chromatography-tandmen mass spectroscopy (LC-MS 2 ). LC-MS 2 may be used to identify cellular glycans, and more specifically cancer-related glycoproteins. |
