Characterization of core fucosylation via sequential enzymatic treatments of intact glycopeptides and mass spectrometry analysis

Abstract

Core fucosylation of N-linked glycoproteins has been linked to physiological and pathological processes. Here, the authors develop a mass spectrometry-based method that utilizes Endo F3 followed by PNGase F treatment to quantify site-specific glycoprotein core fucosylation in protein mixtures.
