[NMR paper] Towards a Precise NMR Quantification of Acute Phase Inflammation Proteins from Human Serum
Towards a Precise NMR Quantification of Acute Phase Inflammation Proteins from Human Serum
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra of human serum and plasma show, besides metabolites and lipoproteins, two characteristic signals termed GlycA and B arising from the acetyl groups of glycoprotein glycans from acute phase proteins, which constitute good markers for inflammatory processes. Here, we report a comprehensive assignment of glycoprotein glycan NMR signals observed in human serum, showing that GlycA and GlycB signals originate from Neu5Ac and GlcNAc moieties from N-glycans,...
