Time-of-night Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and x-ray photoele
ctron spectroscopy (XPS) are used to characterize a newly synthesized glyco
sylated photoactivatable reagent designed for surface glycoengineering. The
immobilization on diamond surfaces of the glycoaryldiazirine reagent lacto
se aryl diazirine (5-carboxamidopentyl-N-[m-[3-(trifluoromethyl)diazirin-3-
yl]phenyl-beta -D-galactopyransol]-(1->4)-thio-beta -D-glucopyranoside)-bet
a -D-glucopyranoside) is compared to a previously studied monoglycosylated
photoactivatable reagent (MAD-Gal). The XPS atomic constituents and chemica
l shifts, as well as ToF-SIMS specific characteristic fragments and molecul
ar peaks of the new photoimmobilized molecule are recorded. Spectral differ
ences are identified in XPS C 1s spectra and in the high mass range of posi
tive ion ToF-SIMS spectra for the surface immobilized disaccharide. The ToF
-SIMS characteristic high-mass ions involve both cationization with Na+ and
loss of the diazirine function. The results can be related to differences
observed in biological assays with each of the surface immobilized sacchari
des. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
