Sialylglycopeptide (SGP) is a complex bi-antennary N-glycan bearing a short peptide fragment that can be isolated from the yolk of hen eggs. This natural product has gained popularity as a starting material for the semi-synthesis of N-glycans. We have found that current isolation methods provide a glycopeptide contaminated with several related structures, one being a glycopeptide having a hexose directly attached to peptide backbone, most like through the hydroxyl containing side chain of the th ...[more]
