Glycan structure of a high-mannose glycoprotein from Raman optical activity

• A revealing signature: The glycan structure of intact yeast external invertase, a high-mannose glycoprotein used as biocatalyst, was investigated by using Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy. The conformational preferences present in mannose-containing di- and trisaccharides were found to be preserved in the glycan chains, with secondary polpeptide backbone structure suppressed.
