Abstract

Little is known about the N-glycans present on the glycoproteins of basidiomycetes other than that they appear to consist mainly of the high-mannose glycans Man5-9GlcNAc2 with some other novel compounds present in a few species. The structures of the various possible isomers of the high-mannose glycans are largely unknown. This presentation describes the use of ion mobility and negative ion fragmentation for extracting the spectra of N-glycans from the complex mixtures resulting from N-glycan release from fungal glycoproteins and the use of both highly specific fragmentation of negative ions and of ion mobility for isomer identification.
