The feasibility of global glycoprotein analysis by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) tandem mass spectrometry is demonstrated. Combined 2D gel glycoprotein separation and visualization, in-gel digestion, and accurate (
