A new approach for proteome-wide analysis of sialylated N-glycopeptides based on the diagonalchromatographic COFRADIC technology is presented here. The use of (2-3,6,8,9) neuraminidase iscentral to isolate sialylated N-glycopeptides out of a complex peptide mixture. Two different COFRADICtechniques are introduced here, either without or with post-metabolic oxygen-18 labeling (direct versusindirect sorting), and when applied to immuno-depleted mouse serum, we herewith identified 93sialylated glycosylation sites in 53 serum proteins.
