Protein glycosylation is a fundamental biological process that regulates various cellular functions, yet its study has been hampered by the complexity and low abundance of glycoproteins. In a groundbreaking study published in National Science Reviewscientists from Fudan University developed a glycopeptide enrichment strategy based on chemical ligation called HG-TCs. This method uses advanced solid-phase materials and bioorthogonal chemistry to simultaneously identify multiple types of glycosylation, including N-glycosites, O-GlcNAc sites, and O-GalNAc sites, as well as N-glycans (see figure below). This HG-TCs strategy has the ability to enrich glycopeptides using an azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction and release them through trypsin cleavage. This…
