Abstract:
As one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTMs) of peptidome, glycopeptidome is closely related to serious disease, especially to cancer. In order to specifically discover and analyze glycopeptidome biomarkers for clinical diagnosis of cancer on early-stage, it is crucial to develop efficient technique to analyze low-abundance of endogenous glycopeptides in biological samples. In this report, a hydrophilic probe in mesoporous pore (denoted as Fe3O4@mSiO2@G6P) was designed and prepared. By taking advantage of the excellent hydrophilicity and size-exclusion ability, we applied Fe3O4@mSiO2@G6P to capture glycopeptides from both horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and immunoglobulin (IgG) digests successfully. Moreover, a total of 39 and 25 endogenous glycopeptides were identified from healthy saliva and gastric saliva, respectively, indicating the great potential of this probe for the exploration of glycopeptidome biomarkers.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...
