Modification of sialic acids using carbodiimide coupling on AutoTip. Fetuin protein was modified by p-Toluidine in the presence of EDC after immobilization on the beads (Four AutoTips). Sialylated N-glycan, S2H5N4, was used to monitor completion of p-Toluidine-EDC reaction. Without derivatization, MALDI-MS detected no sialic acid H5N4 (a) and two sialic acids S2H5N4 (c); For incomplete derivatization, MALDI-MS detected (a), (c), and p-Toluidine labeled two sialic acids S2H5N4 (b); When completely labeled, only (b) was detected by MALDI-MS.
