Description
Summary:Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is the gold standard for intact glycopeptide identification, enabling peptide sequence elucidation and site-specific localization of glycan compositions. Beam-type collisional activation is generally sufficient for N-glycopeptides, while electron-driven dissociation is crucial for site localization in O-glycopeptides. Modern glycoproteomic methods often employ multiple dissociation techniques within a single LC-MS/MS analysis, but this approach frequently sacrifices sensitivity when analyzing multiple glycopeptide classes simultaneously. Here we explore the utility of intelligent data acquisition for glycoproteomics through real-time library searching (RTLS) to match oxonium ion patterns for on-the-fly selection of the appropriate dissociation method. By matching dissociation method with glycopeptide class, this autonomous dissociation-type selection (ADS) generates equivalent numbers of N-glycopeptide identifications relative to traditional beam-type collisional activation methods while also yielding comparable numbers of site-localized O-glycopeptide identifications relative to conventional electron transfer dissociation-based methods. The ADS approach represents a step forward in glycoproteomics throughput by enabling site-specific characterization of both N-and O-glycopeptides within the same LC-MS/MS acquisition.Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is the gold standard for intact glycopeptide identification, enabling peptide sequence elucidation and site-specific localization of glycan compositions.
