Glycopeptide-centric mass spectrometry has become a popular approach for studying protein glycosylation. However, current approaches still utilize fragmentation schemes and ranges originally optimized and intended for the analysis of typically much smaller unmodified tryptic peptides. Here, we show that by merely increasing the tandem mass spectrometry m / z range from 2000 to 4000 during electron transfer higher energy collisional dissociation (EThcD) fragmentation, a wealth of highly informative c and z ion fragment ions are additionally detected, facilitating improved identification of glycopeptides. We demonstrate the benefit of this extended mass range on various classes of glycopeptides containing phosphorylated, fucosylated, and/or sialylated N-glycans. We conclude that the current software solutions for glycopeptide identification also require further improvements to realize the full potential of extended mass range glycoproteomics. To stimulate further developments, we provide data sets containing all classes of glycopeptides (high mannose, hybrid, and complex) measured with standard (2000) and extended (4000) m / z range that can be used as test cases for future development of software solutions enhancing automated glycopeptide analysis.

Simply Extending the Mass Range in Electron Transfer Higher Energy Collisional Dissociation Increases Confidence in N-Glycopeptide Identification
