Uniform-size and core-shell structured Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microspheres with a core diameter of -240 nm and a shell thickness of -13 nm were obtained as identified by the characterization of the morphology, structure and composition of the synthesized microspheres. We evaluated the selectivity and binding capacity of the Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microsphcres by using standard glycoproteins （ovalbumin, immunoglobulin G and catalase） and nonglycoproteins （human serum albumin, bovine hemoglobin, myoglobin, lysozyme, and ribonuclease A） as model proteins. Adsorption experiments, SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microspheres had much high binding capacity and selectivity for glycoproteins/glycopeptides compared to nonglycoproteins/nonglycopeptides. In addition, the practicability of the Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microspheres was further assessed by selective capture of glycoproteins from healthy hu- man serum. The good results demonstrated its potential in glycoproteome analysis.展开更多
