About
Tianyuan Peng is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry and glycobiology, with a focus on developing innovative tools for the study of carbohydrates. Her major contributions center on advancing mass spectrometry-based assays for glycosidase characterization and glycan sequencing. In her highly cited 2017 paper (8 citations), Peng introduced a high-throughput mass-spectrometry-based assay that overcomes the limitations of traditional glycosidase assays, which rely on bulky fluorescent tags. This work provides a qualitative, label-free method for identifying the biochemical functions of putative glycosidases, enabling broader substrate characterization. Peng further explored the scope and limitations of carbohydrate hydrolysis for de novo glycan sequencing in her 2018 study (4 citations), using a hydrogen peroxide/metallopeptide-based glycosidase mimetic. This research addresses the challenge of sequencing complex glycans without reference standards. While her citation counts are modest, Peng’s work is notable for its methodological innovation, offering practical solutions to fundamental problems in glycobiology. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers seeking to understand carbohydrate-active enzymes and develop new analytical strategies for glycomics.
