“…PGC-SPE formats have yet to be widely adopted for enrichment ( 271 , 272 ), likely because complicated retention mechanisms make method optimization challenging and less intuitive. That said, PGC has the attractive potential of chromatographically separating isomeric glycopeptides based on their glycan structures, and several studies have utilized online PGC separations to characterize intact glycopeptides ( 233 , 273 , 274 , 275 , 276 , 277 , 278 , 279 , 280 ). One challenge is that hydrophobic glycopeptides are difficult to elute from PGC, so most studies using online PGC separations have relied on nonspecific proteases to generate small peptide backbones for glycopeptides with limited hydrophobicity.…”
