Template-Free Synthesis of Mesoporous Polymers for Highly Selective Enrichment of Glycopeptides

A facile template-free strategy for the synthesis of mesoporous phenolic polymers with attractive porosities, nitrogen-containing functionalities, and intrinsic hydrophilic skeletons is presented. The resultant polymer has a high BET surface area (548 m(2) g(-1)) and mesopore size (13 nm) and exhibits superior glycopeptide-capturing performance, thus, revealing the potential application of mesoporous polymers in highly selective glycopeptide enrichment. This general capture protocol may open up new opportunities for the development of glycoproteomes.
