Multistage Lc-msn for Automated Glycan Isomer Assignment of Glycopeptides - N- and O-linked Glycosylation Are Some of the Most Common, Abundant, and Biologically Important Posttranslational Modifications of Proteins, Yet They Are Also Some of the Most Difficult to Study. the Dominant Analytical Platform for the Study of Glycosylation Is Mass Spectrometry, Yet This Platform on Its Own Is Incomplete, Because It Cannot Elucidate Glycan Topology and Linkage Stereochemistry. This Project Will Advance the Use of Mass Spectrometry for Glycan Structure Determination, Especially for the Case of O-linked Glycans, by Studying the Ion Propensities of Various Structural Motifs in Multi-stage Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry, and by Building New Software for Structure Inference From Such Mass Spectra.

How to read these numbers

One award, start to finish: Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed vs. ceiling: Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
Paid out: The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
The ledger: Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
The money bar: One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
