Combining orthogonal glycan analysis techniques for a deeper understanding of a tri-specific protein

Explore the critical role of glycosylation in multispecific proteins and its impact on their function. Michael McKinnon, from Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, highlights traditional glycosylation analysis methods and presents a case study on a TriSpecific fusion protein, emphasizing the need for precise glycan localization. The discussion compares Electron-Activated Dissociation (EAD) and Collision-Induced Dissociation (CID) techniques, showcasing their applications in glycan analysis. The ZenoTof 7600 is introduced as a powerful tool for advanced protein characterization, providing deeper insights into glycan structures and modifications.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
