The structural elucidation of HS glycosaminoglycans is the subject of considerable importance due to the biological and biomedical significance of this class of carbohydrates. They are highly heterogeneous due to their non-template biosynthesis. Advances in tandem mass spectrometry activation methods, particularly electron detachment dissociation (EDD), has led to the development of methods to assign sites of sulfo modification in glycosaminoglycan oligomers, but there are few reports of the assignment of uronic acid stereochemistry, necessary to distinguish glucuronic acid (GlcA) from iduronic acid (IdoA). Whereas preceding studies focused on uronic acid epimers with no sulfo modification, the current work extends the assignment of the hexuronic acid stereochemistry to 2-<i>O</i>-sulfo uronic acid epimeric tetrasaccharides. The presence of a 2-<i>O</i>-sulfo group on the central uronic acid was found to greatly influence the formation of B<sub>3</sub>, C<sub>2</sub>, Z<sub>2</sub>, and Y<sub>1</sub> ions in glucuronic acid and Y<sub>2</sub> and <sup>1,5</sup>X<sub>2</sub> for iduronic acid. The intensity of these peaks can be combined to yield a diagnostic ratios (DR), which can be used to confidently assign the uronic acid stereochemistry.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.044522437723423,"endowment":3.044522437723423,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"26612977","pmcid":"PMC4655891","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1247870894","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Institutes of Health","grant_id":"P41 GM103390","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":0.7737,"citation_percentile":0.68769107,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":2},{"year":2019,"count":5},{"year":2020,"count":4},{"year":2021,"count":5},{"year":2024,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1387380615002699?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1387380615002699?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijms.2015.08.018","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26612977","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/4655891","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/330086","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans research","Glycosylation and Glycoproteins Research","Carbohydrate Chemistry and Synthesis"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Chemistry","Uronic acid","Iduronic acid","Glucuronic acid","Stereochemistry","Tetrasaccharide","Dissociation (chemistry)","Epimer","Heparan sulfate","Glycosaminoglycan","Organic chemistry","Biochemistry","Polysaccharide"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Clean water and sanitation"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-24T13:36:14.185117Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
