Sialooligosaccharides, Sialoglycolipids, and Sialoglycopeptides

Mass spectrometric investigations of derivatized sialooligosaccharide-alditols, sialoglycolipids, and sialoglycopeptides have been carried out by several authors. Because of the relatively low volatility of these substances, g.l.c. cannot in general be used as m.s. inlet system. In the framework of this chapter, only some examples will be mentioned. 

The studies from the authors laboratory were supported by the Netherlands Foundation for Chemical Research (SON) with financial aid from.the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (ZWO).
