摘要
Permethylation of the glycan isolated from the glycoinositol phospholipid (GPI) anchor of the scrapie prion protein (PrPSc) trimethylates a free hexosamine to form a quarternary ammonium salt, substantially increasing the sensitivity for analysis by mass spectrometry. This derivatization induces specific fragmentation reactions in collision-induced dissociation spectra obtained on a four-sector tandem mass spectrometer, identifying the branching pattern of the PrPSc GPI glycan. © 1990.
