Glycoproteomics Analysis: The Sweeter Side of Venom (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers at Brazil's largest producer of antivenoms used mass spectrometry to conduct a structural analysis of glycans modifying venom proteins in several snake species. This is a sample spectrum, showing how the researchers matched peaks to the structures of various glycan 'trees' and quantitatively compared the amount of each glycan across species. Their analysis yields insight into venom protein stability and solubility.
