            Summary
            • The mild oxidation condition was able to specifically oxidize sialic acid group at the end of carbohydrate chain. Thus, the sialylated glycans can
              be determined.
                   n
            • The MS  analysis was able to detect glycan composition and sequencing information without labeling and glycosidase treatment.
                   n
            • The MS  data was able to indicate the oxidized sites and linkages of glycan s.
