Abstract
Glycans, carbohydrates, and glycoconjugates are involved in many crucial biological processes, such as disease development, immune responses, and cell-cell recognition. Glycans and carbohydrates are known for the large number of isomeric features associated with their structures, making analysis challenging compared with other biomolecules. Mass spectrometry has become the primary method of structural characterization for carbohydrates, glycans, and glycoconjugates. Metal adduction is especially important for the mass spectrometric analysis of carbohydrates and glycans. Metal-ion adduction to carbohydrates and glycoconjugates affects ion formation and the three-dimensional, gas-phase structures. Herein, we discuss how metal-ion adduction impacts ionization, ion mobility, ion activation and dissociation, and hydrogen/deuterium exchange for carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. We also compare the use of different metals for these various techniques and highlight the value in using metals as charge carriers for these analyses. Finally, we provide recommendations for selecting a metal for analysis of carbohydrate adducts and describe areas for continued research.

Abstract
Structural determination of carbohydrates using mass spectrometry remains challenging, particularly, the differentiation of anomeric configurations. In this work, we studied the collision-induced dissociation (CID) mechanisms of sodiated α- and β-l-fucose using an experimental method and quantum chemistry calculations. The calculations show that α-l-fucose is more likely to undergo dehydration due to the fact that O1 and O2 are on the same side of the sugar ring. In contrast, β-l-fucose is more prone to the ring-opening reaction because more OH groups are on the same side of the sugar ring as O1. These differences suggest a higher preference for the dehydration reaction in sodiated α-l-fucose but a lower preference for ring-opening compared to that of β-l-fucose. The calculation results, which are used to assign the CID mass spectra of α- and β-l-fucose separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, are supported by the fucose produced from the CID of disaccharides Fuc-β-(1 → 3)-GlcNAc and Fuc-α-(1 → 4)-GlcNAc. This study demonstrates that the correlation of cis- and trans-configurations of O1 and O2 to the relative branching ratios of dehydration and cross-ring dissociation in CID, observed in aldohexose and ketohexose in the pyranose form, can be extended to deoxyhexoses for anomericity determination.

Abstract
Saccharides and biocompounds as saccharide (sugar) complexes have various roles and biological functions in living organisms due to modifications via nucleophilic substitution, polymerization, and complex formation reactions. Mostly, mono-, di-, oligo-, and polysaccharides are stabilized to inactive glycosides, which are formed in metabolic pathways. Natural saccharides are important in food and environmental monitoring. Glycosides with various functionalities are significant in clinical and medical research. Saccharides are often studied with the chromatographic methods of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and anion exchange chromatograpy, but also with capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry with their on-line coupling systems. Sample preparation is important in the identification of saccharide compounds. The cases discussed here focus on bioscience, clinical, and food applications.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in glycomics, glycan characterization still remains an analytical challenge. Accordingly, numerous glycan-tagging reagents with different chemistries were developed, including those involving acid-base chemistry and/or free radical chemistry. Acid-base chemistry excels at dissociating glycans into their constituent components in a systematic and predictable manner to generate cleavages at glycosidic bonds. Glycans are also highly susceptible to depolymerization by free radical processes, which is supported by results observed from electron-activated dissociation techniques. Therefore, the free radical activated glycan sequencing (FRAGS) reagent was developed so as to possess the characteristics of both acid-base and free radical chemistry, thus generating information-rich glycosidic bond and cross-ring cleavages. Alternatively, the free radical processes can be induced via photodissociation of the specific carbon-iodine bond which gives birth to similar fragmentation patterns as the FRAGS reagent. Furthermore, the methylated-FRAGS (Me-FRAGS) reagent was developed to eliminate glycan rearrangements by way of a fixed charged as opposed to a labile proton, which would otherwise yield additional, yet unpredictable, fragmentations including internal residue losses or multiple external residue losses. Lastly, to further enhance glycan enrichment and characterization, solid-support FRAGS was developed.

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
The structural elucidation of metabolite molecules is important in many branches of the life sciences. However, the isomeric and isobaric complexity of metabolites makes their identification extremely challenging, and analytical standards are often required to confirm the presence of a particular compound in a sample. We present here an approach to overcome these challenges using high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry in combination with cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy for the rapid separation and identification of metabolite isomers and isobars. Ion mobility can separate isomeric metabolites in tens of milliseconds, and cryogenic IR spectroscopy provides highly structured IR fingerprints for unambiguous molecular identification. Moreover, our approach allows one to identify metabolite isomers automatically by comparing their IR fingerprints with those previously recorded in a database, obviating the need for a recurrent introduction of analytical standards. We demonstrate the principle of this approach by constructing a database composed of IR fingerprints of eight isomeric/isobaric metabolites and use it for the identification of these isomers present in mixtures. Moreover, we show how our fast IR fingerprinting technology allows to probe the IR fingerprints of molecules within just a few seconds as they elute from an LC column. This approach has the potential to greatly improve metabolomics workflows in terms of accuracy, speed, and cost.

Abstract
The structural complexity of glycans makes their characterization challenging, not only because of the presence of various isomeric forms of the precursor molecule but also because the fragments can themselves be isomeric. We have recently developed an IMS-CID-IMS approach using structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) combined with cryogenic infrared (IR) spectroscopy for glycan analysis. It allows mobility separation and collision-induced dissociation of a precursor glycan followed by mobility separation and IR spectroscopy of the fragments. While this approach holds great promise for glycan analysis, we often encounter fragments for which we have no standards to identify their spectroscopic fingerprint. In this work, we perform proof-of-principle experiments employing a multistage SLIM-based IMS-CID technique to generate second-generation fragments, followed by their mobility separation and spectroscopic interrogation. This approach provides detailed structural information about the first-generation fragments, including their anomeric form, which in turn can be used to identify the precursor glycan.

Abstract
This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2020. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. The review is basically divided into three sections: (1) general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation, quantification and the use of arrays. (2) Applications to various structural types such as oligo- and polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals, and (3) other areas such as medicine, industrial processes and glycan synthesis where MALDI is extensively used. Much of the material relating to applications is presented in tabular form. The reported work shows increasing use of incorporation of new techniques such as ion mobility and the enormous impact that MALDI imaging is having. MALDI, although invented nearly 40 years ago is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and range of applications show little sign of diminishing.

Abstract
![]()
Glycan analysis has
evolved considerably during the last decade.
The advent of high-resolution ion-mobility spectrometry has enabled
the separation of isomers with only the slightest of structural differences.
However, the ability to separate such species raises the problem of
identifying all the mobility-resolved peaks that are observed, especially
when analytical standards are not available. In this work, we report
an approach based on the combination of IMSn with cryogenic
vibrational spectroscopy to identify N-glycan reducing-end
anomers. By identifying the reducing-end α and β anomers
of diacetyl-chitobiose, which is a disaccharide that forms part of
the common core of all N-glycans, we are able to
assign mobility peaks to reducing anomers of a selection of N-glycans of different sizes, starting from trisaccharides
such as Man-1 up to glycans containing nine monosaccharide units,
such as G2. By building an infrared fingerprint database of the identified N-glycans, our approach allows unambiguous identification
of mobility peaks corresponding to reducing-end anomers and distinguishes
them from positional isomers that might be present in a complex mixture.

Abstract
Glycans are the most abundant organic polymers in nature. They are essential to living organisms and regulate a wide range of biological functions. However, mass spectrometry-based identification of glycan isomers remains challenging due to the complexity of their structures including their complex compositions, linkages, and anomeric configurations. In this study, two novel complex ions, the mononuclear copper-bound dimeric ions [(Cu2+)(A)(L-His)-H]+ and the mononuclear copper-bound quaternary ions [(Cu2+)(A)(L-Ser)3-H]+ (where A denotes a disaccharide, and L-Ser/His denotes l-serine/histidine), were designed for the collision-induced dissociation-based identification and relative quantification of 14 disaccharide isomers. When the unique fragmentation patterns of the above two types of complex ions were mapped into a three-dimensional vector, all the isomers were completely distinguished. Of note, the established method is able to identify mixtures of linkage isomers only using tandem mass spectrometry based on linkage-specific fragment ions of histidine-based complex ions. Finally, the method was successfully applied to the identification and relative quantification of two disaccharide isomers (lactose and sucrose) in dairy beverages. In conclusion, the established method is sensitive to subtle structural differences in disaccharide isomers and has the potential to be used for the differentiation of various glycans.

Abstract
Determining the primary structure of glycans remains challenging due to their isomeric complexity. While high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has recently allowed distinguishing between many glycan isomers, the arrival-time distributions (ATDs) frequently exhibit multiple peaks, which can arise from positional isomers, reducing-end anomers, or different conformations. Here, we present the combination of ultrahigh-resolution ion mobility, collision-induced dissociation (CID), and cryogenic infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a systematic method to identify reducing-end anomers of glycans. Previous studies have suggested that high-resolution ion mobility of sodiated glycans is able to separate the two reducing-end anomers. In this case, Y-fragments generated from mobility-separated precursor species should also contain a single anomer at their reducing end. We confirm that this is the case by comparing the IR spectra of selected Y-fragments to those of anomerically pure mono- and disaccharides, allowing the assignment of the mobility-separated precursor and its IR spectrum to a single reducing-end anomer. The anomerically pure precursor glycans can henceforth be rapidly identified on the basis of their IR spectrum alone, allowing them to be distinguished from other isomeric forms.

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.

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
The analysis of glycans presents a significant challenge that arises from their isomeric heterogeneity. While high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has shown the ability to resolve subtly different glycan isomers, their unambiguous assignment remains difficult. Here, we demonstrate an infrared (IR) spectroscopic approach for identifying isomers in a glycan mixture. To display the feasibility of this approach, we have constructed a small database of cryogenic spectra of five lacto-N-fucopentaose (LNFP) and six disaccharide isomers and demonstrated that in the cases where they cannot be separated by IMS, we can use a cryogenic IR spectrum to identify the isomeric components of a mixture.

Abstract
Although carbon is the central element of organic chemistry, oxygen is the central element of stereoelectronic control in organic chemistry. Generally, a molecule with a C-O bond has both a strong donor (a lone pair) and a strong acceptor (e.g., a σ*C-O orbital), a combination that provides opportunities to influence chemical transformations at both ends of the electron demand spectrum. Oxygen is a stereoelectronic chameleon that adapts to the varying situations in radical, cationic, anionic, and metal-mediated transformations. Arguably, the most historically important stereoelectronic effect is the anomeric effect (AE), i.e., the axial preference of acceptor groups at the anomeric position of sugars. Although AE is generally attributed to hyperconjugative interactions of σ-acceptors with a lone pair at oxygen (negative hyperconjugation), recent literature reports suggested alternative explanations. In this context, it is timely to evaluate the fundamental connections between the AE and a broad variety of O-functional groups. Such connections illustrate the general role of hyperconjugation with oxygen lone pairs in reactivity. Lessons from the AE can be used as the conceptual framework for organizing disjointed observations into a logical body of knowledge. In contrast, neglect of hyperconjugation can be deeply misleading as it removes the stereoelectronic cornerstone on which, as we show in this review, the chemistry of organic oxygen functionalities is largely based. As negative hyperconjugation releases the "underutilized" stereoelectronic power of unshared electrons (the lone pairs) for the stabilization of a developing positive charge, the role of orbital interactions increases when the electronic demand is high and molecules distort from their equilibrium geometries. From this perspective, hyperconjugative anomeric interactions play a unique role in guiding reaction design. In this manuscript, we discuss the reactivity of organic O-functionalities, outline variations in the possible hyperconjugative patterns, and showcase the vast implications of AE for the structure and reactivity. On our journey through a variety of O-containing organic functional groups, from textbook to exotic, we will illustrate how this knowledge can predict chemical reactivity and unlock new useful synthetic transformations.

Abstract
Data organization through molecular networks has been used in metabolomics over the past years as a way to efficiently mine the massive amount of structural information produced by tandem mass spectrometry (MS). However, glycomics lags a step behind: carbohydrate structures involve numerous levels of isomerism, making MS and tandem MS blind to many key structural features of glycans. This roadblock can in part be alleviated with gas-phase ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), a method highly sensitive to isomerism. In this work, we propose a novel strategy for structural glycomics: molecular networking of high-resolution IMS/IMS spectra. We combine the cutting-edge strategies of tandem IMS and molecular networking of spectral data. We demonstrate that-when it comes to oligosaccharides and their numerous levels of isomerisms-molecular networks based on IMS/IMS spectra are widely superior to MS/MS-based networks to sort and organize molecules with a high degree of structural relevance.

Abstract
The in-depth study of glycan has drawn large research interests since it is one of the main biopolymers on the earth with a variety of biological functions. However, the distinguishment of glycans is still difficult due to the similarity of the monosaccharide building block, the anomer, and the linkage of glycosidic bonds. In this study, four novel and representative copper-bound diastereoisomeric complex ions were simultaneously detected in a single measurement by trapped ion mobility mass spectrometry, including mononuclear copper-bound dimeric ions [(Cu2+)(A)(l-Ser)-H]+ and [(Cu2+)(A)(l-His)-H]+, the mononuclear copper-bound trimeric ion [(Cu2+)(A)(l-Ser)(l-His)-H]+, and the binuclear copper-bound tetrameric ion [(Cu2+)2(A)(l-Ser)2(l-His)-3H]+ (where A denotes an oligosaccharide, and l-Ser and l-His denote l-serine and l-histidine, respectively). By combining the collision cross sections of complex ions, 23 oligosaccharide isomers were successfully distinguished including two pairs of sialylated glycan linkage isomers. In addition, due to the unique dissociation pathways of the trimeric ion, both the relative and absolute quantification of the individual isomer in the mixture could be determined using a mass spectrometry-based kinetic method. Finally, the method established above was successfully applied to the identification and quantification of glycan isomers in dairy beverages and juice. The method in the present study was sensitive to the fine difference of glycan isomers and might have wide applicability in glycoscience.

Abstract
We present cryogenic infrared spectra of sodiated β-cyclodextrin [β-CD + Na]+, a common cyclic oligosaccharide, and its main dissociation products upon collision-induced dissociation (CID). We characterize the parent ions using high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry and cryogenic infrared action spectroscopy, while the fragments are characterized by their mass and cryogenic infrared spectra. We observe sodium-cationized fragments that differ in mass by 162 u, corresponding to Bn/Zm ions. For the m/z 347 product ion, electronic structure calculations are consistent with formation of the lowest energy 2-ketone B2 ion structure. For the m/z 509 product ion, both the calculated 2-ketone B3 and the Z3 structures show similarities with the experimental spectrum. The theoretical structure most consistent with the spectrum of the m/z 671 ions is a slightly higher energy 2-ketone B4 structure. Overall, the data suggest a consistent formation mechanism for all the observed fragments.

Abstract
Nature offers a huge diversity of glycosidic derivatives. Among numerous structural modulations, the nature of the ring size of hexosides may induce significant differences on both biological and physicochemical properties of the glycoconjugate of interest. On this assumption, we expect that small disaccharides bearing either a furanosyl entity or a pyranosyl residue would give a specific signature, even in the gas phase. On the basis of the scope of mass spectrometry, two analytical techniques to register those signatures were considered, i.e., the ion mobility (IM) and the infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD), in order to build up cross-linked databases. d-Galactose occurs in natural products in both tautomeric forms and presents all possible regioisomers when linked to d-mannose. Consequently, the four reducing Galf-Manp disaccharides as well as the four Galp-Manp counterparts were first synthesized according to a highly convergent approach, and IM-MS and IRMPD-MS data were second collected. Both techniques used afforded signatures, specific to the nature of the connectivity between the two glycosyl entities.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are complex structures that still challenge analysts today because of their different levels of isomerism, notably the anomerism of the glycosidic bond. It has been shown recently that anomerism is preserved upon gas-phase fragmentation and that high-resolution ion mobility (IMS) can distinguish anomers. However, these concepts have yet to be applied to complex biological products. We have used high-resolution IMS on a cyclic device to characterize the reaction products of Uhgb_MS, a novel mannoside synthase of the GH130 family. We designed a so-called IMSn sequence consisting of (i) separating and isolating specific IMS peaks, (ii) ejecting ions to a pre-array store cell depending on their arrival time, (iii) inducing collisional activation upon reinjection, and (iv) performing multistage IMS analysis of the fragments. First, we applied IMS2 sequences to purely linked α1,2- and β1,2-mannooligosaccharides, which provided us with reference drift times for fragments of known conformation. Then, we performed IMSn analyses of enzymatically produced mannosides and, by comparison with the references, we succeeded in determining the intrachain anomerism of a α1,2-mannotriose and a mix-linked β/α1,2-mannotetraose-a first for a crude biological medium. Our results show that the anomerism of glycosides is maintained through multiple stages of collisional fragmentation, and that standalone high-resolution IMS and IMSn can be used to characterize the intrachain anomerism in tri- and tetrasaccharides in a biological medium. This is also the first evidence that a single carbohydrate-active enzyme can synthesize both α- and β-glycosidic linkages.

Abstract
The inherent structural complexity and diversity of glycans pose a major analytical challenge to their structural analysis. Radical chemistry has gained considerable momentum in the field of mass spectrometric biomolecule analysis, including proteomics, glycomics, and lipidomics. Herein, seven isomeric disaccharides and two isomeric tetrasaccharides with subtle structural differences are distinguished rapidly and accurately via one-step radical-induced dissociation. The free-radical-activated glycan-sequencing reagent (FRAGS) selectively conjugates to the unique reducing terminus of glycans in which a localized nascent free radical is generated upon collisional activation and simultaneously induces glycan fragmentation. Higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) are employed to provide complementary structural information for the identification and discrimination of glycan isomers by providing different fragmentation pathways to generate informative, structurally significant product ions. Furthermore, multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry (MS3 CID) provides supplementary and valuable structural information through the generation of characteristic parent-structure-dependent fragment ions.

Abstract
It has been reported that fragments produced by glycosidic bond breakage in mass spectrometry-based experiments can retain a memory of their anomeric configuration, which has major implications for glycan sequencing. Herein, we use cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy and ion mobility-mass spectrometry to study the structure of B-type fragments of protected galactosides. Cationic fragments were generated from glycosyl donors carrying trichloroacetimidate or thioethyl leaving groups of different anomeric configuration. The obtained infrared signatures indicate that the investigated fragments exhibit an identical structure, which suggests that there is no anomeric memory in B-type ions of fully protected monosaccharides.

Abstract
The isomeric heterogeneity of glycans poses a great challenge for their analysis. While combining ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful means for identifying and characterizing glycans, it has difficulty distinguishing the subtlest differences between isomers. Cryogenic infrared spectroscopy provides an additional dimension for glycan identification that is extremely sensitive to their structure. Our approach to glycan analysis combines ultrahigh-resolution IMS-IMS using structures for lossless ion manipulation (SLIM) with cryogenic infrared spectroscopy. We present here the design of a SLIM board containing a series of on-board traps in which we perform collision-induced dissociation (CID) at pressures in the millibar range. We characterize the on-board CID process by comparing the fragments generated from a pentapeptide to those obtained on a commercial tandem mass spectrometer. We then apply our new technique to study the mobility and vibrational spectra of CID fragments from two human milk oligosaccharides. Comparison of both the fragment drift times and IR spectra with those of suitable reference compounds allows us to identify their specific isomeric form, including the anomericity of the glycosidic linkage, demonstrating the power of this tool for glycan analysis.
