Abstract in brief

  • The article introduces a new method called SALSA for analyzing glycans with sialic acids using mass spectrometry, which allows for the differentiation of linkage isomers (specifically 2,3- and 2,6-linked sialic acids) by selectively amidating them with different alkyl chains.
  • SALSA stabilizes sialic acids, making them more reliable for analysis, and can be combined with existing glycan purification techniques like hydrazide bead purification, simplifying the process of studying complex biological samples such as human plasma.
  • The method has been tested with standards and applied to real samples, demonstrating its effectiveness for accurate profiling of sialyl linkage isomers in glycan analysis.
