The study of functional glycomics requires the continuous development of rapid and sensitive methods for the identification of glycan structures and integration to structure-function relationships. In Functional Glycomics: Methods and Protocols, a panel of world-renowned experts provide new developments and emerging glycomics techniques in the form of detailed protocols exploring the fundamental challenges and most cutting-edge novel applications. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters in this volume present brief introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes sections, highlighting key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easy to use, Functional Glycomics: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal reference for scientists working in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, microbiology, and virology and a guide to appropriate techniques and the design of achievable research plans in this vital field. Includes the latest developments and emerging state-of-the-art techniques to determine the glycome function Examines problem-driven strategy and methodology for Glycobiology researchers, both advanced and beginners, in academia and industry Provides integrated analysis approach of whole sugar chains Presents a practical manual to identify and monitor modifications and changes in glycomes for biomarker discovery and vaccines INDICE: Functional Glycomics and Glycobiology: An Overview.- Historical Overview of Glycoanalysis.- Quantitative Glycomics.- Human Gangliosides and Bacterial Lipo-oligosaccharides in the Development of Autoimmune Neuropathies.- Biotinylated Multivalent Glycoconjugates for Surface Coating.- Profiling LPS Glycoforms of Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae by Multiple-Stage Tandem Mass Spectrometry.- In vitro Reconstitution of Escherichia coli O86 O Antigen Repeating Unit.- Glycoprotein Characterization.- N-Linked Glycoprotein Analysis Using Dual-Extraction Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography and ElectrosprayTandem Mass Spectrometry.- Microarray-Based Study of Carbohydrate-Protein Binding.- The Application of NMR Spectroscopy to Functional Glycomics.- Metabolomics in Glycomics.- Characterization of Lipid-Linked Oligosaccharides by Mass Spectrometry.- A Glycomics Approach to the Discovery of Potential Cancer Biomarkers.- Extraction of Chondroitin/Dermatan Sulfate Glycosaminoglycans from Connective Tissue for Mass Spectrometric Analysis.- N-Linked Protein Glycosylationin a Bacterial System.- Characterization of Polysaccharides Using Mass Spectrometry for Bacterial Serotyping.- Is Permethylation Strategy Always Applicableto Protein N-Glycosylation Study?: A Case Study on the O-Acetylation of Sialic Acid in Fish Serum Glycans.- Bioinformatics in Glycomics: Glycan Characterization with Mass Spectrometric Data Using SimGlycan™.
