Case study: monitoring of Glc4 tetrasaccharide in the urine of Pompe patients, use of MALDI-TOF MS, and 1H NMR
Due to the lack of the acid 1,4-α-glucosidase, the urine of Pompe patients contains increased levels of specific glucose tetrasaccharide αGlc(1 → 6)αGlc(1 → 4)αGlc(1 → 4)Glc (Glc4), which was approved as a non...
