Change to text in Chapter 35

In the section “FURTHER READING,” the following reference was edited to read: “Angata T, Brinkman-Van der Linden E. 2002. I-type lectins. Biochim Biophys Acta 1572: 294–316.”

Change to Figure 45.4 legend

The following text was edited to read: “With help of POMGNT1, FKTN and FKRP can act to add two ribitol-5-phosphate units to the GalNAc residue that is then extended with a single Xyl and GlcA by TMEMS and B4GAT1, respectively.”

Change to Table 50.1

In the “Specificity (cleavage target)” column, the first entry was edited to read: “between the two GlcNAc residues in the core of oligomannose or hybrid N-glycans”

Change to Chapter 50

In the section “Determination of Linkage Positions,” the following text was edited to read: “The masses of fragments produced by impact of high-energy electrons on PMAAs identify substitution sites in some cases, but fragmentation patterns of similarly substituted isomeric monosaccharides (e.g., Glc and Gal) can be nearly identical.”

Change to Figure 50.2 legend

The following text was edited to read: “… and the 6-GlcNAcitol (it is at the reducing end of the glycan, therefore has been reduced during reductive elimination before linkage analysis, and it carries no deuterium) is acetylated only at C-6.”

Change to Figure 50.2

The original figure had an “OAc” in the last structure in the last line that has been changed to “OMe”; the original figure had an “OH” in the last structure in the second to last line that has been changed to “OMe”.

Change to Figure 51.1 legend

The following text was edited to read: “(Figure courtesy of Mark Hilliard.)”
