As the common and significant chemical modifications, post‐translational modifications (PTMs) play a key role in the functional proteome. Affected by the signal interference, low concentration, and insufficient ionization efficiency of impurities, the direct detection of PTMs by mass spectrometry (MS) still faces many challenges. Therefore, sample preparation and enrichment are an indispensable link before MS analysis of PTMs in proteomics. The rapid development of functionalized materials with diverse morphologies and compositions provides an avenue for sample preparation and enrichment for PTMs analysis. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the application of novel functionalized materials in sample preparation for phosphoproteomes and glycoproteomes analysis. In addition, this review specifically discusses the design and preparation of functionalized materials based on different enrichment mechanisms, and proposes research directions and potential challenges for proteomic PTMs research.

translational modifications, and N-glycosylation plays a crucial role in life activities.Mass spectrometry (MS) has been a powerful technique in the analysis of protein glycosylation. However, the direct detection of glycoproteins in biological samples based on MS still suffers from huge challenges. Therefore, enrichment and purification of samples before MS analysis is an essential prerequisite.Methods: Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) has significantly developed for selective enrichment of glycopeptides due to its simple operation process and unbiased enrichment. Herein, hydrophilic, dual amino acidfunctionalized zinc sulfide quantum dots (ZnS QDs) were prepared to enrich glycopeptides using an easy procedure. The enriched glycopeptides were detected using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Results:The obtained material exhibited high selectivity (1:2000), low detection limit (0.1 fmol/μl), good repeatability (10 times), and excellent recovery (89.8%) in glycopeptide enrichment. In the actual application in biological samples, 71 Nglycopeptides and 161 N-glycopeptides were detected from human saliva and serum, respectively.Conclusions: ZnS-Au-GC was successfully prepared using an easy method. The results showed that the obtained material exhibited excellent performance in glycopeptide enrichment. Furthermore, it had showed great potential for glycopeptide enrichment in complex biological samples.

In this work, titanium-rich hydrazide-linked porous organic polymers (hydrazide-POPs-Ti4+) were synthesized by using hydrazine, 2,3-Dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde (DHTA) and trimethyl 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (TP) as the ligands. Hydrazide-POPs-Ti4+ combined with HILIC and IMAC can...
