A high-throughput workflow for comprehensive glycopeptide mapping

We developed OxoScan-MS, a mass spectrometric acquisition technology for high-throughput quantification of glycopeptides. When applied to plasma of patients with COVID-19, OxoScan-MS revealed differential glycosylation in disease-relevant proteins. This approach offers potential for large-scale applications, moving beyond traditional protein abundance measurements to explore glycosylated protein biomarkers.
