Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), as a class of biopolymers, play pivotal roles in various biological metabolisms such as cell signaling, tissue development, cell apoptosis, immune modulation, and growth factor activity. They are mainly present in the colon in free forms, which are essential for maintaining the host's health by regulating the colonization and proliferation of gut microbiota. Therefore, it is important to explain the specific members of the gut microbiota for GAGs' degradation and their enzymatic machinery in vivo. This review provides an outline of GAGs-utilizing entities in the Bacteroides, highlighting their polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) and the enzymatic machinery involved in chondroitin sulfate (CS) and heparin (Hep)/heparan sulfate (HS). While there are some variations in GAGs' degradation among different genera, we analyze the reputed GAGs' utilization clusters in lactic acid bacteria (LAB), based on recent studies on GAGs' degradation. The enzymatic machinery involved in Hep/HS and CS metabolism within LAB is also discussed. Thus, to elucidate the precise mechanisms utilizing GAGs by diverse gut microbiota will augment our understanding of their effects on human health and contribute to potential therapeutic strategies for diseases.

Abstract
Advanced vibrational spectroscopic experiments have reached a level of sophistication that can only be matched by numerical simulations in order to provide an unequivocal analysis, a crucial step to understand the structure-function relationship of biomolecules. While density functional theory (DFT) has become the standard method when targeting medium-size or larger systems, the problem of its reliability and accuracy are well-known and have been abundantly documented. To establish a reliable computational protocol, especially when accuracy is critical, a tailored benchmark is usually required. This is generally done over a short list of known candidates, with the basis set often fixed a priori. In this work, we present a systematic study of the performance of DFT-based hybrid and double-hybrid functionals in the prediction of vibrational energies and infrared intensities at the harmonic level and beyond, considering anharmonic effects through vibrational perturbation theory at the second order. The study is performed for the six-lowest energy glycine conformers, utilizing available "state-of-the-art" accurate theoretical and experimental data as reference. Focusing on the most intense fundamental vibrations in the mid-infrared range of glycine conformers, the role of the basis sets is also investigated considering the balance between computational cost and accuracy. Targeting larger systems, a broad range of hybrid schemes with different computational costs is also tested.

Abstract
The high isomeric complexity of glycans makes them particularly difficult to analyze. While ultra-high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) can offer rapid baseline separation of many glycan isomers, their unambiguous identification remains a challenging task. One approach to solving this problem is to identify mobility-separated isomers by measuring their highly resolved cryogenic vibrational spectra. To be able to apply this approach to complex mixtures at high throughput, we have recently developed a Hadamard transform multiplexed spectroscopic technique that allows measuring vibrational spectra of all species separated in both IMS and mass spectrometry dimensions in a single laser scan. In the current work, we further develop the multiplexing technique using ion traps incorporated directly into the IMS device based on structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM). We also show that multiplexed spectroscopy using perfect sequence matrices can outperform standard multiplexing using Simplex matrices. Lastly, we show that we can increase the measurement speed and throughput further by running multiple multiplexing schemes using several SLIM ion traps in combination with simultaneous spectroscopic measurements in the segmented cryogenic ion trap.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex polysaccharides exhibiting a vast structural diversity and fulfilling various functions mediated by thousands of interactions in the extracellular matrix, at the cell surface, and within the cells where they have been detected in the nucleus. It is known that the chemical groups attached to GAGs and GAG conformations comprise "glycocodes" that are not yet fully deciphered. The molecular context also matters for GAG structures and functions, and the influence of the structure and functions of the proteoglycan core proteins on sulfated GAGs and vice versa warrants further investigation. The lack of dedicated bioinformatic tools for mining GAG data sets contributes to a partial characterization of the structural and functional landscape and interactions of GAGs. These pending issues will benefit from the development of new approaches reviewed here, namely (i) the synthesis of GAG oligosaccharides to build large and diverse GAG libraries, (ii) GAG analysis and sequencing by mass spectrometry (e.g., ion mobility-mass spectrometry), gas-phase infrared spectroscopy, recognition tunnelling nanopores, and molecular modeling to identify bioactive GAG sequences, biophysical methods to investigate binding interfaces, and to expand our knowledge and understanding of glycocodes governing GAG molecular recognition, and (iii) artificial intelligence for in-depth investigation of GAGomic data sets and their integration with proteomics.

Abstract
In this study, we afford explicit characterizations of the electronic and geometrical structures of recently reported hypervalent penta-coordinate carbon compounds by using gas-phase characterization techniques: photodissociation spectroscopy (PDS) and ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS). In particular for a compound with moderately electron-donating ligands, bearing p-methylthiophenyl substituents, the coexistence of tetra- and penta-coordinate isomers is confirmed, consistent with solution characterizations. It is in sharp contrast to the exclusive tetra-coordinate form (with normal valence of the central carbon atom) in the single crystal. This suggests that a non-polar environment makes the penta-coordinate structure thermodynamically most stable. This delicate difference between the tetra- and penta-coordinate structures, which depends on the environment, is a close reflection of the lower activation barrier of the SN 2 reaction found in neutral solvent or gas-phase reactions.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are heterogeneous acidic polysaccharides involved in a range of biological functions. They have a significant influence on the regulation of cellular processes and the development of various diseases and infections. To fully understand the functional roles that GAGs play in mammalian systems, including disease processes, it is essential to understand their structural features. Despite having a linear structure and a repetitive disaccharide backbone, their structural analysis is challenging and requires elaborate preparative and analytical techniques. In particular, the extent to which GAGs are sulfated, as well as variation in sulfate position across the entire oligosaccharide or on individual monosaccharides, represents a major obstacle. Here, we summarize the current state-of-the-art methodologies used for GAG sample preparation and analysis, discussing in detail liquid chromatograpy and mass spectrometry-based approaches, including advanced ion activation methods, ion mobility separations and infrared action spectroscopy of mass-selected species.

Abstract
The difference in functionality of many isomeric biomolecules requires their analytical identification for life science studies. We present a universal approach for quantitative identification of different small- to medium-sized isomeric biomolecules that can be brought to the gas phase from solution by electrospray ionization (ESI). The method involves infrared (IR) fragment cold ion spectroscopy of analyte molecules that are incompletely desolvated by soft ESI. The use of solvent molecules as natural tags removes a need for adding to solutions any special compounds, which may interfere with liquid chromatography or mass spectrometric measurements. The tested peptides and especially monosaccharides and lipids exhibit highly isomer-specific IR fragment spectra of such noncovalent complexes, which were produced from water, methanol, acetonitrile, and 2-butanol solutions. The relative concentrations in solution mixtures of, for instance, two isomeric dipeptides can be quantified with the accuracy of 1.6% and 2.9% for the acquisition time of 25 min and, potentially, 5 s, respectively; for three isomeric phospho-octapeptides, the accuracy becomes 4.1% and 11% for 17 min and, potentially, 10 s measurements, respectively.

Abstract
Cells encode information in the sequence of biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans. Although glycans are essential to all living organisms, surprisingly little is known about the "sugar code" and the biological roles of these molecules. The reason glycobiology lags behind its counterparts dealing with nucleic acids and proteins lies in the complexity of carbohydrate structures, which renders their analysis extremely challenging. Building blocks that may differ only in the configuration of a single stereocenter, combined with the vast possibilities to connect monosaccharide units, lead to an immense variety of isomers, which poses a formidable challenge to conventional mass spectrometry. In recent years, however, a combination of innovative ion activation methods, commercialization of ion mobility-mass spectrometry, progress in gas-phase ion spectroscopy, and advances in computational chemistry have led to a revolution in mass spectrometry-based glycan analysis. The present review focuses on the above techniques that expanded the traditional glycomics toolkit and provided spectacular insight into the structure of these fascinating biomolecules. To emphasize the specific challenges associated with them, major classes of mammalian glycans are discussed in separate sections. By doing so, we aim to put the spotlight on the most important element of glycobiology: the glycans themselves.

Abstract
While glycans are present on the surface of cells in all living organisms and play key roles in most biological processes, their isomeric complexity makes their structural characterization challenging. Of particular importance are positional isomers, for which analytical standards are difficult to obtain. We combine ultrahigh-resolution ion-mobility spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation and cryogenic infrared spectroscopy to determine the structure of N-glycan positional isomers. This approach is based on first separating the parent molecules by SLIM-based IMS, producing diagnostic fragments specific to each positional isomer, separating the fragments by IMS, and identifying them by comparing their IR fingerprints to a previously recorded spectral database. We demonstrate this strategy using a bottom-up scheme to identify the positional isomers of the N-linked glycan G0-N, in which a terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is attached to either the α-3 or α-6 branch of the common N-glycan pentasaccharide core. We then use IR fingerprints of these newly identified isomers to identify the positional isomers of G1 and G1F, which are biantennary complex-type N-glycans with a terminal galactose attached to either the α-3 or α-6 branch, and in the case of G1F a fucose attached to the reducing-end GlcNAc. Starting with just a few analytical standards, this fragment-based spectroscopy method allows us to develop a database which we can use to identify positional isomers. The generalization of this approach would greatly facilitate glycan analysis. We combine high-resolution IMS-IMS with cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy for the indentification of N-glycan positional isomers.![]()

Abstract
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a linear polysaccharide covalently attached to proteoglycans on cell surfaces and within extracellular matrices in all animal tissues. Many biological processes are triggered by the interactions among HS binding proteins and short structural motifs in HS chains. The determination of HS oligosaccharide structures using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is made challenging by the existence of positional sulfation and acetylation isomers. The determination of uronic acid epimer positions is even more challenging. While hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) separates HS saccharides based on their composition, there is a very limited resolution of positional isomers. This lack of resolution places a burden on the tandem mass spectrometry step for assigning saccharide isomers. In this work, we explored the use of the ion mobility dimension to separate HS saccharide isomers based on molecular shape in the gas phase. We showed that the combination of HILIC and cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometry (cIM-MS) was extremely useful for resolving HS positional isomers including uronic acid epimers and sulfate positions. Furthermore, HILIC-cIM-MS differentiated multicomponent HS isomeric saccharide mixtures. In summary, HILIC-cIM-MS provided high-quality data for analysis of HS oligosaccharide isomeric mixtures that may prove useful in the discovery of new structural motifs for HS binding proteins and for the targeted quality control analysis of commercial HS products.

Coupling vibrational
ion spectroscopy with high-resolution ion
mobility separation offers a promising approach for detailed analysis
of biomolecules in the gas phase. Improvements in the ion mobility
technology have made it possible to separate isomers with minor structural
differences, and their interrogation with a tunable infrared laser
provides vibrational fingerprints for unambiguous database-enabled
identification. Nevertheless, wide analytical application of this
technique requires high-throughput approaches for acquisition of vibrational
spectra of all species present in complex mixtures. In this work,
we present a novel multiplexed approach and demonstrate its utility
for cryogenic ion spectroscopy of peptides and glycans in mixtures.
Since the method is based on Hadamard transform multiplexing, it yields
infrared spectra with an increased signal-to-noise ratio compared
to a conventional signal averaging approach.

Abstract
Glycans are intrinsically complex biomolecules that pose particular analytical challenges. Standard workflows for glycan analysis are based on mass spectrometry, often coupled with separation techniques such as liquid chromatography and ion mobility spectrometry. However, this approach does not yield direct structural information and cannot always distinguish between isomers. This gap might be filled in the future by gas-phase infrared spectroscopy, which has emerged as a promising structure-sensitive technique for glycan fingerprinting. This review highlights recent applications of gas-phase infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of synthetic and biological glycans and how they can be integrated into mass spectrometry-based workflows.

Abstract
Infrared vibrational spectroscopy in the gas phase has emerged as a powerful tool to determine complex molecular structures with high precision. Among the different approaches IRMPD (InfraRed multiple photon dissociation), which requires the use of an intense pulsed tuneable laser in the InfraRed (IR) domain, has been broadly applied to the study of complex (bio)molecules. Recently, it also emerged as a highly relevant approach for analytical purposes especially in the field of glycomics in which structural analysis is still a tremendous challenge. This opens the perspective to develop new analytical tools allowing for the determination of molecular structures with atomic precision, and to address advanced questions in the field. However, IRMPD experiments require non commercial equipment or/and long acquisition time which limits the data output. Here we show that it is possible to improve the IRMPD performances by optimizing the combination between a linear ion trap mass spectrometer and a high repetition tuneable laser. Two orders of magnitude are gained with this approach compared to the usual experiments ultimately leading to a completely resolved spectrum acquired in less than one minute. These results open the way to many new applications in glycomics with the possibility to include IRMPD in complex analytical workflows.

Abstract
Two-color infrared multiphoton dissociation (2C-IRMPD) spectroscopy is a technique that mitigates spectral distortions due to nonlinear absorption that is inherent to one-color IRMPD. We use a 2C-IRMPD scheme that incorporates two independently tunable IR sources, providing considerable control over the internal energy content and type of spectrum obtained by varying the trap temperature, the time delays and fluences of the two infrared lasers, and whether the first or second laser wavelength is scanned. In this work, we describe the application of this variant of 2C-IRMPD to conformationally complex peptide ions. The 2C-IRMPD technique is used to record near-linear action spectra of both cations and anions with temperatures ranging from 10 to 300 K. We also determine the conditions under which it is possible to record IR spectra of single conformers in a conformational mixture. Furthermore, we demonstrate the capability of the technique to explore conformational unfolding by recording IR spectra with widely varying internal energy in the ion. The protonated peptide ions YGGFL (NH3+-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu, Leu-enkephalin) and YGPAA (NH3+-Tyr-Gly-Pro-Ala-Ala) are used as model systems for exploring the advantages and disadvantages of the method when applied to conformationally complex ions.

Abstract
The tremendous structural and isomeric diversity of lipids enables a wide range of their functions in nature but makes the identification of these biomolecules challenging. We distinguish and quantify isomeric lipids using cold ion UV fragmentation spectroscopy of their noncovalent complexes with aromatic amino acids and dipeptides. On the basis of structural simulations, specific isomer-sensitive aromatic "sensors" have been preselected for lipids of each studied class. Tyrosine appeared to be a good "sensor" to distinguish steroids and prostaglandins, which are rich in functional groups, while diphenylalanine is a better choice for sensing largely hydrophobic phospholipids. With this sensor, the relative concentrations of two isomeric glycerophospholipids mixed in solution have been determined with 3.3% accuracy, which should degrade only to 3.7% for a 14 s express measurement.

Abstract
A primary goal of metabolomics studies is to fully characterize the small-molecule composition of complex biological and environmental samples. However, despite advances in analytical technologies over the past two decades, the majority of small molecules in complex samples are not readily identifiable due to the immense structural and chemical diversity present within the metabolome. Current gold-standard identification methods rely on reference libraries built using authentic chemical materials ("standards"), which are not available for most molecules. Computational quantum chemistry methods, which can be used to calculate chemical properties that are then measured by analytical platforms, offer an alternative route for building reference libraries, i.e., in silico libraries for "standards-free" identification. In this review, we cover the major roadblocks currently facing metabolomics and discuss applications where quantum chemistry calculations offer a solution. Several successful examples for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ion mobility spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry methods are reviewed. Finally, we consider current best practices, sources of error, and provide an outlook for quantum chemistry calculations in metabolomics studies. We expect this review will inspire researchers in the field of small-molecule identification to accelerate adoption of in silico methods for generation of reference libraries and to add quantum chemistry calculations as another tool at their disposal to characterize complex samples.

Abstract
![]()
Glycosaminoglycans
(GAGs) are a family of complex carbohydrates
vital to all mammalian organisms and involved in numerous biological
processes. Chondroitin and dermatan sulfate, an important class of
GAGs, are linear macromolecules consisting of disaccharide building
blocks of N-acetylgalactosamine and two different
uronic acids. The varying degree and the site of sulfation render
their characterization challenging. Here, we combine mass spectrometry
with cryogenic infrared spectroscopy in the wavenumber range from
1000 to 1800 cm–1. Fingerprint spectra were recorded
for a comprehensive set of disaccharides bearing all known motifs
of sulfation. In addition, state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations
were performed to aid the understanding of the differences in the
experimental fingerprint spectra. The results show that the degree
and position of charged sulfate groups define the size of the conformational
landscape in the gas phase. The detailed understanding of cryogenic
infrared spectroscopy for acidic and often highly sulfated glycans
may pave the way to utilize the technique in fragment-based sequencing
approaches.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are heterogeneous, negatively charged, macromolecules that are found in animal tissues. Based on the form of component sugar, GAGs have been categorized into four different families: heparin/heparan sulfate, chondroitin/dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and hyaluronan. GAGs engage in biological pathway regulation through their interaction with protein ligands. Detailed structural information on GAG chains is required to further understanding of GAG-ligand interactions. However, polysaccharide sequencing has lagged behind protein and DNA sequencing due to the non-template-driven biosynthesis of glycans. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the analysis of GAG chains, specifically focusing on techniques related to mass spectroscopy (MS), including separation techniques coupled to MS, tandem MS, and bioinformatics software for MS spectrum interpretation. Progress in the use of other structural analysis tools, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and hyphenated techniques, is included to provide a comprehensive perspective.

Abstract
This review covers recent developments in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analysis via mass spectrometry (MS). GAGs participate in a variety of biological functions, including cellular communication, wound healing, and anticoagulation, and are important targets for structural characterization. GAGs exhibit a diverse range of structural features due to the variety of O- and N-sulfation modifications and uronic acid C-5 epimerization that can occur, making their analysis a challenging target. Mass spectrometry approaches to the structure assignment of GAGs have been widely investigated, and new methodologies remain the subject of development. Advances in sample preparation, tandem MS techniques (MS/MS), online separations, and automated analysis software have advanced the field of GAG analysis. These recent developments have led to remarkable improvements in the precision and time efficiency for the structural characterization of GAGs.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate and heparin are highly acidic polysaccharides with a linear sequence, consisting of alternating glucosamine and hexuronic acid building blocks. The identity of hexuronic acid units shows a variability along their sequence, as d-glucuronic acid and its C5 epimer, l-iduronic acid, can both occur. The resulting backbone diversity represents a major challenge for an unambiguous structural assignment by mass spectrometry-based techniques. Here, we employ cryogenic infrared spectroscopy on mass-selected ions to overcome this challenge and distinguish isomeric heparan sulfate tetrasaccharides that differ only in the configuration of their hexuronic acid building blocks. High-resolution infrared spectra of a systematic set of synthetic heparan sulfate stereoisomers were recorded in the fingerprint region from 1000 to 1800 cm-1. The experiments reveal a characteristic combination of spectral features for each of the four diastereomers studied and imply structural modularity in the vibrational fingerprints. Strong spectrum-structure correlations were found and rationalized by state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations. The findings demonstrate the potential of cryogenic infrared spectroscopy to extend the mass spectrometry-based toolkit for the sequencing of heparan sulfate and structurally related biomolecules.

Abstract
Precise structural differentiation of often isomeric glycans is important given their roles in numerous biological processes. Mass spectrometry (MS) (and tandem MS) is one of the analytical techniques at the forefront of glycan analysis given its speed, sensitivity in producing structural information as well as the fact it can be coupled to other orthogonal analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). This review describes another family of techniques that are more commonly being hybridized to MS(/MS) namely gas-phase infrared (IR) spectroscopy, whose rise is in part due to the development and improved accessibility of tunable IR lasers. Gas-phase IR can often differentiate fine isomeric differences ubiquitous within carbohydrates that MS may be 'blind' to. There are also examples of cryogenic gas-phase IR spectroscopy with much greater spectral resolution as well as hybridizing with separative methods (LC, IMS). Furthermore, collision-induced dissociation (CID) product ions can also be probed by IR, which may be beneficial to deconvolute spectra, aid analysis and build spectral libraries, thus generating novel opportunities for fragment-based approaches to analyze glycans.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a physio- and pharmacologically highly relevant class of complex saccharides, possessing a linear sequence and strongly acidic character. Their repetitive linear core makes them seem structurally simple at first glance, yet differences in sulfation and epimerization lead to an enormous structural diversity with only a few GAGs having been successfully characterized to date. Recent infrared action spectroscopic experiments on sulfated mono- and disaccharide ions show great promise. Here, we assess the potential of two types of gas-phase action spectroscopy approaches in the range from 1000 to 1800 cm−1 for the structural analysis of complex GAG oligosaccharides. Synthetic tetra- and pentasaccharides were chosen as model compounds for this benchmark study. Utilizing infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy at room temperature, diagnostic bands are largely unresolved. In contrast, cryogenic infrared action spectroscopy of ions trapped in helium nanodroplets yields resolved infrared spectra with diagnostic features for monosaccharide composition and sulfation pattern. The analysis of GAGs could therefore significantly benefit from expanding the conventional MS-based toolkit with gas-phase cryogenic IR spectroscopy. Graphical abstract ![]()

Abstract
Carbohydrates possess a variety of distinct features with stereochemistry playing a particularly important role in distinguishing their structure and function. Monosaccharide building blocks are defined by a high density of chiral centers. Additionally, the anomericity and regiochemistry of the glycosidic linkages carry important biological information. Any carbohydrate-sequencing method needs to be precise in determining all aspects of this stereodiversity. Recently, several advances have been made in developing fast and precise analytical techniques that have the potential to address the stereochemical complexity of carbohydrates. This perspective seeks to provide an overview of some of these emerging techniques, focusing on those that are based on NMR and MS-hybridized technologies including ion mobility spectrometry and IR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The isomeric complexity of glycans make their analysis by traditional techniques particularly challenging. While the recent combination of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with cryogenic IR spectroscopy has demonstrated promise as a new technique for glycan analysis, this approach has been limited by the modest resolution of the ion mobility stage. In this work we report results from a newly developed instrument that combines ultrahigh-resolution IMS with cryogenic IR spectroscopy for glycan analysis. This apparatus makes use of the recent development in traveling-wave IMS called structures for lossless ion manipulation. The IMS stage allows the selection of glycan isomers that differ in collisional cross section by as little as 0.2% before injecting them into a cryogenic ion trap for IR spectral analysis. We compare our results to those using drift-tube IMS and highlight the advantages of the substantial increase in resolution. Application of this approach to glycan mixtures demonstrates our ability to isolate individual components, measure a cryogenic IR spectrum, and identify them using a spectroscopic database.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play vital roles in many biological processes and are naturally present as complex mixtures of polysaccharides with tremendous structural heterogeneity, including many structural isomers. Mass spectrometric analysis of GAG isomers, in particular highly sulfated heparin (Hep) and heparan sulfate (HS), is challenging because of their structural similarity and facile sulfo losses during analysis. Herein, we show that highly sulfated Hep/HS isomers may be resolved by gated-trapped ion mobility spectrometry (gated-TIMS) with negligible sulfo losses. Subsequent negative electron transfer dissociation (NETD) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of TIMS-separated Hep/HS isomers generated extensive glycosidic and cross-ring fragments for confident isomer differentiation and structure elucidation. The high mobility resolution and preservation of labile sulfo modifications afforded by gated-TIMS MS analysis also allowed relative quantification of highly sulfated heparin isomers. These results show that the gated-TIMS-NETD MS/MS approach is useful for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of highly sulfated Hep/HS compounds in a manner not possible with other techniques.

Abstract
We report here our combination of cryogenic, messenger-tagging, infrared (IR) spectroscopy with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and mass spectrometry (MS) as a way to identify and analyze a set of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) ranging from trisaccharides to hexasaccharides. The added dimension of IR spectroscopy provides a diagnostic fingerprint in the OH and NH stretching region, which is crucial to identify these oligosaccharides, which are difficult to distinguish by IMS alone. These results extend our previous work in demonstrating the generality of this combined approach for distinguishing subtly different structural and regioisomers of glycans of biologically relevant size.

Abstract
We investigate the tandem mass spectrometry of regiospecifically labeled, deprotonated sucrose analytes. We utilize density functional theory calculations to model the pertinent gas-phase fragmentation chemistry of the prevalent glycosidic bond cleavages (B1-Y1 and C1-Z1 reactions) and compare these predictions to infrared spectroscopy experiments on the resulting B1 and C1 product anions. For the C1 anions, barriers to interconversion of the pyranose [α-glucose-H]-, C1 anions to entropically favorable ring-open aldehyde-terminated forms were modest (41 kJ mol-1) consistent with the observation of a band assigned to a carbonyl stretch at ~ 1680-1720 cm-1. For the B1 anions, our transition structure calculations predict the presence of both deprotonated 1,6-anhydroglucose and carbon 2-ketone ((4S,5S,6R)-4,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)dihydro-2H-pyran-3(4H)-one) anion structures, with the latter predominating. This hypothesis is supported by our spectroscopic data which show diagnostic bands at 1600, 1674, and 1699 cm-1 (deprotonated carbon 2-ketone structures), and at ~ 1541 cm-1 (both types of structure) and RRKM rate calculations. The deprotonated carbon 2-ketone structures are also the lowest energy product B1 anions. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Structural characterization of carbohydrates by mass spectrometry necessitates a detailed understanding of their gas phase behavior, particularly for protonated carbohydrates that can undergo complex structural rearrangements during fragmentation. Here we utilize tandem mass spectrometry, isotopic labeling, gas-phase hydrogen/deuterium exchange, and ion mobility measurements to characterize structures of the various product ions of protonated N-acetylhexosamines. Following the facile loss of the reducing end hydroxyl group, we identify two primary fragmentation pathways. Detailed mapping of each step in the fragmentation pathway provides new insight into the mechanisms that drive collision-induced dissociation of protonated carbohydrates. Several of the smaller fragment ions are mixtures of structural isomers, and the relative distributions of these structures reveals information about the stereochemistry of the precursor molecule.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans are biopolymers present in mammalian cells or in the extracellular matrix. To address their structure, the nature of the hexuronic acids and the position of sulfate groups must be determined. Tandem mass spectrometry using collision induced dissociation or electron-based fragmentation techniques, is a well-established approach for the identification of glycans but suffers from the frequent lack of diagnostic fragments in the case of glycosaminoglycans. This review presents alternative fragmentation techniques, namely photofragmentation in the IR and the UV ranges. Alternative approaches based on the direct analysis of the molecular structure, including ion mobility spectrometry and ion spectroscopies are reviewed. The potential of future multidimensional workflows for glycosaminoglycanomics is discussed.

Abstract
We report distinctive spectroscopic fingerprints of the monosaccharide standards GalNAc4S and GalNAc6S by coupling mass spectrometry and ion spectroscopy in the 3-μm range. The disaccharide standards CSA and CSC are used to demonstrate the applicability of a novel approach for the analysis of sulfate position in GalNAc-containing glycosaminoglycans. This approach was then used for the analysis of a sample containing CSA and CSC disaccharides. Finally, we discuss the generalization of the coupling of mass spectrometry with ion spectroscopy for the structural analysis of glycosaminoglycans on a tetrasaccharide from dermatan sulfate source.

Abstract
Glycosyl cations are crucial intermediates formed during enzymatic and chemical glycosylation. The intrinsic high reactivity and short lifetime of these reaction intermediates make them very challenging to characterize using spectroscopic techniques. Herein, we report the use of collision induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry to generate glycosyl cations in the gas phase followed by infrared ion spectroscopy using the FELIX infrared free electron laser. The experimentally observed IR spectra were compared to DFT calculated spectra enabling the detailed structural elucidation of elusive glycosyl oxocarbenium and dioxolenium ions.

Abstract
Ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is an approach that can provide information on the stoichiometry, composition, protein contacts and topology of protein complexes. The power of this approach lies not only in its sensitivity and speed of analysis, but also in the fact that it is a technique that can capture the repertoire of conformational states adopted by protein assemblies. Here, we describe the array of available IM-MS based tools, and demonstrate their application to the structural characterization of various protein complexes, including challenging systems as amyloid aggregates and membrane proteins. We also discuss recent studies in which IM-MS was applied towards investigations of conformational transitions and stabilization effects induced by protein interactions.

Abstract
Characterization of complex oligosaccharides has historically required extensive sample handling and separations before analysis using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electron impact mass spectra following hydrolysis, derivatization, and gas chromatographic separation. Advances in liquid chromatography separations and tandem mass spectrometry have expanded the range of intact glycan analysis, but carbohydrate structure and conformation-integral chemical characteristics-are often difficult to assess with minimal amounts of sample in a rapid fashion. Because ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) separates analytes based upon an effective 'size-to-charge' ratio, IMS is, by extension, highly applicable to glycomics. Furthermore, the speed of IMS, its growing levels of separation efficiency, and direct compatibility with all forms of mass spectrometry, illustrates is core role in the future of glycomics efforts. This review assesses the current state of ion mobility-mass spectrometry applied to glycan, glycoprotein, and glycoconjugate analysis. Currently, assessing optimal ion polarity and adduct type for a glycan class along with the appropriate tandem mass spectrometry technique underpin many of the current glycan analysis efforts using ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IMMS). Once determined, these parameters have enabled a growing and impressive range of glycomics campaigns employing this technique. Additionally, the combination of IMS with tandem mass spectrometry, and even spectroscopic methods, further expands the dimensionality of hybrid instrumentation to provide a more comprehensive assessment of glycan structure across a wide dynamic range. Continued computational efforts to complement experimental and instrumental advancements also serve as a core component of IMMS workflows applied to glycomics and promise to maximize the information gained from mobility separations.

Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) provides information about the structures of gas-phase ions in the form of a collision cross section (CCS) with a neutral buffer gas. Indicating relative ion size, a CCS value alone is of limited utility. Although such information can be used to propose different conformer types, finer details of structure are not captured. The increased accessibility of IMS-MS measurements with commercial instrumentation in recent years has ballooned its usage in combination with separate measurements to provide enhanced data from which greater structural inferences can be drawn. This short review presents recent outstanding developments in scientific research that employs complementary measurements that when combined with IMS-MS data are used to characterize the structures of a wide range of compounds.

Abstract
Glycans and glycoconjugates are involved in regulating a vast array of cellular and molecular processes. Despite the importance of glycans in biology and disease, characterization of glycans remains difficult due to their structural complexity and diversity. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques have emerged as the premier analytical tools for characterizing glycans. However, traditional MS-based strategies struggle to distinguish the large number of coexisting isomeric glycans that are indistinguishable by mass alone. Because of this, ion mobility spectrometry coupled to MS (IM-MS) has received considerable attention as an analytical tool for improving glycan characterization due to the capability of IM to resolve isomeric glycans before MS measurements. In this review, we present recent improvements in IM-MS instrumentation and methods for the structural characterization of isomeric glycans. In addition, we highlight recent applications of IM-MS that illustrate the enormous potential of this technology in a variety of research areas, including glycomics, glycoproteomics, and glycobiology.

Abstract
Due to the existence of numerous isomers, the in-depth analysis of glycans represents a major challenge. Currently, the majority of glycans are analysed using mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques, which can provide information on regioisomers but usually fail to differentiate stereoisomers. A promising approach to overcome this limitation is to implement ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) as an additional gas-phase separation dimension. This review highlights recent developments in which IM-MS was used as a tool for comprehensive glycan analysis or as rapid screening method for glycan feature analysis. Furthermore, we summarize a series of very recent investigations in which gas-phase spectroscopy is applied to study glycans and discuss the potential of the hyphenation between IM-MS and infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a future tool for glycomics and glycoproteomics.
