Mass Spectrometry: An analytical method used in determining the identity of a chemical based on its mass using mass analyzers/mass spectrometers.Tandem Mass Spectrometry: A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization: A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization: A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry: A microanalytical technique combining mass spectrometry and gas chromatography for the qualitative as well as quantitative determinations of compounds.Chromatography, Liquid: Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid.Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid: Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed.Proteomics: The systematic study of the complete complement of proteins (PROTEOME) of organisms.Spectrometry, Mass, Secondary Ion: A mass-spectrometric technique that is used for microscopic chemical analysis.

Less common "doping" agents and substances encountered during routine screening for drugs. (1/17751)

The chromatographic and spectroscopic properties of several unusual substances which have been detected in the "alkaloidal" chloroform extract from racehorse urine and saliva samples are reported. Some of these substances have been identified by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the source of the substance is stated where this is known. Other substances whose identity is not known have been detected and their mass spectra show characteristic amine fragments. The occurrence of these unidentified substances is more frequent in aged urine samples and it would therefore appear that they are associated with putrefaction.  (+info)

Urinary lithium: distribution shape, reference values, and evaluation of exposure by inductively coupled plasma argon-emission spectrometry. (2/17751)

Inductively coupled plasma argon-emission spectrometry (ICPAES) was used to evaluate the lithium content of undiluted urine samples. The method can be performed with 1 mL of urine in a single tube using a routine ICPAES analysis for rapid and convenient assessment of lithium exposure in humans. Urine samples obtained from male workers (n = 86) who had not been exposed to lithium were used for the determination of this element by ICPAES. The obtained concentrations were corrected using a specific gravity of 1.024. The particular frequency distribution resulted in a log-normal distribution diagram for anatomical spread. Geometric mean value for urinary lithium in the nonexposed male workers was 23.5 microg/L, and the confidence interval from a log-normal distribution was 11.0 to 50.5 microg/L. Taking into consideration a short biological half-life and the massive urine excretion of lithium, urinary lithium was considered to be a useful index for monitoring of exposure. Calibration curves obtained for lithium standards had good sensitivity and linearity. Good reproducibility was assessed by lithium addition to urine samples. It was concluded that the obtained lithium reference values would be useful for the early diagnosis of lithium intoxication or in the assessment of the degree of exposure to lithium in subjects at risk.  (+info)

UV irradiation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ices: production of alcohols, quinones, and ethers. (4/17751)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water ice were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation under astrophysical conditions, and the products were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Peripheral carbon atoms were oxidized, producing aromatic alcohols, ketones, and ethers, and reduced, producing partially hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, molecules that account for the interstellar 3.4-micrometer emission feature. These classes of compounds are all present in carbonaceous meteorites. Hydrogen and deuterium atoms exchange readily between the PAHs and the ice, which may explain the deuterium enrichments found in certain meteoritic molecules. This work has important implications for extraterrestrial organics in biogenesis.  (+info)

Relationship between UDP-glucose 4-epimerase activity and oligoglucose glycoforms in two strains of Neisseria meningitidis. (5/17751)

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) from Neisseria meningitidis has demonstrated considerable microheterogeneity in the variable region of LOS due to the presence of novel glycoforms. As a step toward understanding the basis for the expression of these novel glycoforms, we have examined the LOS structures and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase (epimerase) activity levels in two strains (NMB and MA-1) and their respective galE mutants. Strain NMB was found to have low epimerase activity and to contain multiple glycoforms, some of which appear to contain only glucose sugars. The galE mutant had only the oligoglucose glycoforms. Strain MA-1 had higher epimerase activity at both log and stationary phases (2- and 12.5-fold, respectively) and one glycoform with a putative lactosyl structure. Strain MA-1 galE had two glycoforms that contained one or two glucose residues. To understand the molecular basis for the different epimerase activities, we examined the predicted amino acid sequences of the respective galE open reading frames and determined the relative amounts of GalE protein. We found no significant differences between the predicted amino acid sequence of the GalE protein in NMB and that in MA-1. We observed no significant differences in the level of GalE protein between MA-1 and NMB at exponential or stationary phase. We also observed an 8.2-fold drop in epimerase activity in NMB between the log and stationary phases that was not due to the GalE protein level or low glucose levels.  (+info)

Insulin-like growth factors I and II are unable to form and maintain their native disulfides under in vivo redox conditions. (6/17751)

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I does not quantitatively form its three native disulfide bonds in the presence of 10 mM reduced and 1 mM oxidized glutathione in vitro [Hober, S. et al. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 1749-1756]. In this paper, we show (i) that both IGF-I and IGF-II are unable to form and maintain their native disulfide bonds at redox conditions that are similar to the situation in the secretory vesicles in vivo and (ii) that the presence of protein disulfide isomerase does not overcome this problem. The results indicate that the previously described thermodynamic disulfide exchange folding problem of IGF-I in vitro is also present in vivo. Speculatively, we suggest that the thermodynamic disulfide exchange properties of IGF-I and II are biologically significant for inactivation of the unbound growth factors by disulfide exchange reactions to generate variants destined for rapid clearance.  (+info)

Purification and identification of a novel subunit of protein serine/threonine phosphatase 4. (7/17751)

The catalytic subunit of protein serine/threonine phosphatase 4 (PP4C) has greater than 65% amino acid identity to the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2AC). Despite this high homology, PP4 does not appear to associate with known PP2A regulatory subunits. As a first step toward characterization of PP4 holoenzymes and identification of putative PP4 regulatory subunits, PP4 was purified from bovine testis soluble extracts. PP4 existed in two complexes of approximately 270-300 and 400-450 kDa as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The smaller PP4 complex was purified by sequential phenyl-Sepharose, Source 15Q, DEAE2, and Superdex 200 gel filtration chromatographies. The final product contained two major proteins: the PP4 catalytic subunit plus a protein that migrated as a doublet of 120-125 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The associated protein, termed PP4R1, and PP4C also bound to microcystin-Sepharose. Mass spectrometry analysis of the purified complex revealed two major peaks, at 35 (PP4C) and 105 kDa (PP4R1). Amino acid sequence information of several peptides derived from the 105 kDa protein was utilized to isolate a human cDNA clone. Analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence revealed 13 nonidentical repeats similar to repeats found in the A subunit of PP2A (PP2AA). The PP4R1 cDNA clone engineered with an N-terminal Myc tag was expressed in COS M6 cells and PP4C co-immunoprecipitated with Myc-tagged PP4R1. These data indicate that one form of PP4 is similar to the core complex of PP2A in that it consists of a catalytic subunit and a "PP2AA-like" structural subunit.  (+info)

Identification of 17-methyl-18-norandrosta-5,13(17-dien-3beta-ol, the C19 fragment formed by adrenal side chain cleavage of a 20-aryl analog of (20S)-20-hydroxycholesterol. (8/17751)

Incubation of (20R)-20-phenyl-5-pregnene-3beta,20-diol, an aromatic analog of (23S)-20-hydroxycholesterol, with an adrenal mitochondrial preparation leads to the formation of four compounds: pregnenolone, phenol, a C8 ketone, acetophenone, and a nonpolar C19 compound. This latter compound has now been identified by reverse isotope dilution analysis and by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as 17-methyl-18-norandrosta-5,13(17)-dien-3beta-ol. From these results it is evident that enzymatic fission of the C-17,20 bond of this synthetic derivative occurs. On the other hand, when (20S)-20-hydroxy[21-14C]cholesterol was used as substrate, the analogous cleavage did not take place. Thus, substitution of an aromatic group on C-20 facilitates side chain cleavage between that carbon atom and the nucleus whereas neither of the naturally occuring precursors, cholesterol or its 20-hydroxylated counterpart, are metabolized to a C8 fragment.  (+info)

Atomic mass unit - WikipediaAtomic mass unit - Wikipedia
The standard atomic weight (or atomic weight) scale has traditionally been a relative value, that is without a unit, with the first relative atomic mass basis suggested by John Dalton in 1803 as 1H.[8] Despite the initial mass of 1H being used as the natural unit for relative atomic mass, it was suggested by Wilhelm Ostwald that relative atomic mass would be best expressed in terms of units of 1/16 mass of oxygen (1903). This evaluation was made prior to the discovery of the existence of elemental isotopes, which occurred in 1912.[8]. The discovery of isotopic oxygen in 1929 led to a divergence in relative atomic mass representation, with isotopically weighted oxygen (i.e., naturally occurring oxygen relative atomic mass) given a value of exactly 16 atomic mass units (amu) in chemistry, while pure 16O (oxygen-16) was given the mass value of exactly 16 amu in physics. The divergence of these values could result in errors in computations, and was unwieldy. The chemistry amu, based on the relative ...

A comprehensive Collision Cross Section (CCS) library was obtained via Travelling Wave Ion Guide mobility measurements through direct infusion (DI). The library consists of CCS and Mass Spectral (MS) data in negative and positive ElectroSpray Ionisation (ESI) mode for 463 and 479 endogenous metabolites, respectively. For both ionisation modes combined, TWCCSN2 data were obtained for 542 non-redundant metabolites. These data were acquired on two different ion mobility enabled orthogonal acceleration QToF MS systems in two different laboratories, with the majority of the resulting TWCCSN2 values (from detected compounds) found to be within 1% of one another. Validation of these results against two independent, external TWCCSN2 data sources and predicted TWCCSN2 values indicated to be within 1-2% of these other values. The same metabolites were then analysed using a rapid reversed-phase ultra (high) performance liquid chromatographic (U(H)PLC) separation combined with IM and MS (IM-MS) thus ...

Atomic mass constant - WikipediaAtomic mass constant - Wikipedia
In physics and chemistry, the atomic mass constant, mu, is one twelfth of the mass of an unbound atom of carbon-12 at rest and in its ground state. It serves to define the atomic mass unit and is, by definition, equal to 1 u. The CODATA recommended value is 6973166053904000000♠1.660539040(20)×10−27 kg. In practice, the atomic mass constant is determined as the ratio of the electron rest mass me to the electron relative atomic mass Ar(e) (that is, the mass of the electron on a scale where 12C = 12). The relative atomic mass of the electron can be measured in cyclotron experiments, while the rest mass of the electron can be derived from other physical constants. m u = m e A r ( e ) = 2 R ∞ h A r ( e ) c α 2 {\displaystyle m_{\rm {u}}={\frac {m_{\rm {e}}}{A_{\rm {r}}({\rm {e}})}}={\frac {2R_{\infty }h}{A_{\rm {r}}({\rm {e}})c\alpha ^{2}}}} The current uncertainty in the value of the atomic mass constant - one part in 20 million - is almost entirely due to the uncertainty in the value of the ...

Been many years since I took general and org chem and am currently reading general chem textbook as refresher. Came across defintion of amu (atomic mass unit). Text says that the mass of the carbon-12 atom is defined to be exactly 12 amu. However, a couple of pages over, I read that the mass of the proton is about 1.007 amu, and the mass of the neutron is about 1.009 amu. Add up the masses of 6 protons and 6 neutrons for the carbon-12 atom, and you come up with more than 12 amu. I cant resolve this apparent discrepancy. Ive consulted other texts, etc. Does some type of relativistic effect bear on this situation? In other words, does, for example, an isolated proton have a mass of 1.007 amu, but then when part of an atom have a slightly different mass because of some relativistic effect? HELP ...

Abstract : Butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT) and 4-methoxyphenol (4-MP) are phenol derivatives that are generally knownfor their antioxidant properties and depigmenting activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact ofbiofield energy treatment on the isotopic abundance in BHT and 4-MP using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). BHT and 4-MP samples were divided into two parts: control and treated. The control group remaineduntreated while the treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedis biofield treatment. Control and treated sampleswere characterized using GC-MS. The GC-MS data revealed that the isotopic abundance ratio of 13C/12C or 2H/1H(PM+1)/PM and 18O/16O (PM+2)/PM increased significantly in treated BHT and 4-MP (where PM- primary molecule,PM+1- isotopic molecule either for 13C or 2H and PM+2 is the isotopic molecule for 18O). The isotopic abundance ratioof (PM+1)/PM in the treated BHT and 4-MP was increased up to 181.27% and 380.73% respectively as comparedto their ...

The characterization of protein stability changes and protein-ligand interactions on the proteomic scale is important for understanding the biology of cellular processes. The identification and quantification of protein-ligand binding affinities is critical for disease state analyses and drug discovery. A mass spectrometry-based technique, Stability of Proteins from Rates of Oxidation (SPROX), has been established for the thermodynamic analysis of protein stability and protein-ligand interactions. In the first part of this dissertation, a previously published iTRAQ-SPROX protocol is improved by incorporating a filter assisted sample preparation (FASP) protocol to significantly reduce sample loss during the experiment. Also, in order to eliminate methionine as a potential contaminant that can cause signal suppression during LC-MS/MS analysis, TCEP•HCl is used to quench the H2O2 oxidation instead of methionine. This avoids the potential reaction between the free methionine and the iTRAQ ...

Why use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in drug discovery and development? | BlogWhy use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in drug discovery and development? | Blog
In the article below, Jie Ding, associate director of development and validation at the PPD® Laboratories GMP lab, discusses liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in drug discovery and development.. In a drug stability program, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection remains the most common and cost-effective methodology. Even so, UV detection has its own limitations, including poor sensitivity for non-UV absorbing compounds and lack of specificity. These shortcomings in turn have motivated scientists to pursue other alternatives. Mass spectrometry detection is such a candidate. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a detection method that measures the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of a compound. Compared to UV detection, MS offers higher sensitivity, better detection limits, and the ability to provide additional molecular weight information-making it an "information rich" detection method.. Over the last two decades, MS has become an important analytical tool to ...

A crucial aim upon the completion of the human genome is the verification and functional annotation of all predicted genes and their protein products. Here we describe the mapping of peptides derived from accurate interpretations of protein tandem mass spectrometry (MS) data to eukaryotic genomes and the generation of an expandable resource for integration of data from many diverse proteomics experiments. Furthermore, we demonstrate that peptide identifications obtained from high-throughput proteomics can be integrated on a large scale with the human genome. This resource could serve as an expandable repository for MS-derived proteome information.

Method of multiple spiking isotope dilution mass spectrometry - National Research Council CanadaMethod of multiple spiking isotope dilution mass spectrometry - National Research Council Canada
Mass spectroscopy is increasingly used for measuring the presence and amounts of substances in samples, with applications in food, security, health and safety industries and is considered an excellent measurement tool. One of the methods used to identify multiple compounds in a sample is isotope dilution. However, this method does not account for the sample changes during the analysis and composition changes must be determined mathematically or by conducting multiple experiments. Due to this complexity, uptake of this advanced calibration approach is slow. Current algorithms to address simultaneous compound formation and degradation using multiple spiking isotope dilution mass spectrometry are extremely complex and do not result in explicit results nor reliable estimates of uncertainty in those results. Many algorithms give identical numerical results for the initial amount of substances in the sample, but the coefficients that describe the changes during the analysis differ.. There is a demand ...

Probing hemoglobin structure by means of traveling-wave ion mobility mass spectrometry - WRAP: Warwick Research Archive PortalProbing hemoglobin structure by means of traveling-wave ion mobility mass spectrometry - WRAP: Warwick Research Archive Portal
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a tetrameric noncovalent complex consisting of two alpha- and two beta-globin chains each associated with a heme group. Its exact assembly pathway is a matter of debate. Disorders of hemoglobin are the most common inherited disorders and subsequently the molecule has been extensively studied. This work attempts to further elucidate the structural properties of the hemoglobin tetramer and its components. Gas-phase conformations of hemoglobin tetramers and their constituents were investigated by means of traveling-wave ion mobility mass spectrometry. Sickle (HbS) and normal (HbA) hemoglobin molecules were analyzed to determine whether conformational differences in their quaternary structure could be observed. Rotationally averaged collision cross sections were estimated for tetramer, dimer, apo-, and holo-monomers with reference to a protein standard with known cross sections. Estimates of cross section obtained for the tetramers were compared to values calculated from X-ray ...

Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has become one of the most used tools in mass spectrometry based proteomics. Various algorithms have since been developed to automate the process for modern high-throughput LC-MS/MS experiments. A probability based statistical scoring model for assessing peptide and protein matches in tandem MS database search was derived. The statistical scores in the model represent the probability that a peptide match is a random occurrence based on the number or the total abundance of matched product ions in the experimental spectrum. The model also calculates probability based scores to assess protein matches. Thus the protein scores in the model reflect the significance of protein matches and can be used to differentiate true from random protein matches. The model is sensitive to high mass accuracy and implicitly takes mass accuracy into account during scoring. High mass accuracy will not only reduce false positives, but also improves the
High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) - Organics | Sigma-AldrichHigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) - Organics | Sigma-Aldrich
Separation and identification of individual congeners requires specialized instrumentation, such as a high resolution GC column coupled to a high resolution mass spectrometer. Analyte types include the congeners of dioxins, furans, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). These methods may require a screening procedure using low resolution instrumentation prior to an isotope dilution mass spectrometry analysis performed on high resolution instrumentation. Prior to analysis, samples first undergo an extraction process which partitions analytes into an organic solvent compatible with the instrumentation. Example US EPA methods include 1613, 1614, 1668, 8280, 8290, DLM02.2, and TO-9.
Advances in imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry for biological samples (Journal Article) | DOE PAGESAdvances in imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry for biological samples (Journal Article) | DOE PAGES
Imaging mass spectrometry combines the power of mass spectrometry to identify complex molecules based on mass with sample imaging. Recent advances in secondary ion mass spectrometry have improved sensitivity and spatial resolution, so that these methods have the potential to bridge between high-resolution structures obtained by X-ray crystallography and cyro-electron microscopy and ultrastructure visualized by conventional light microscopy. Following background information on the method and instrumentation, we address the key issue of sample preparation. Because mass spectrometry is performed in high vacuum, it is essential to preserve the lateral organization of the sample while removing bulk water, and this has been a major barrier for applications to biological systems. Furthermore, recent applications of imaging mass spectrometry to cell biology, microbial communities, and biosynthetic pathways are summarized briefly, and studies of biological membrane organization are described in greater ...

Structural characterization of ions in the gas phase is facilitated by measurement of ion collision cross sections (CCS) using techniques such as ion mobility spectrometry. Further information is gained from CCS measurement when comparison is made between measurements and accurately predicted CCSs for model ion structures and the gas in which measurements are made. While diatomic gases, namely molecular nitrogen and air, are being used in CCS measurement with increasingly prevalency, the majority of studies in which measurements are compared to predictions use models in which gas molecules are spherical or non-rotating, which is not necessarily appropriate for diatomic gases. Here, we adapt a momentum transfer based CCS calculation approach to consider rotating, diatomic gas molecule collisions with polyatomic ions, and compare CCS predictions with a diatomic gas molecule to those made with a spherical gas molecular for model spherical ions, tetra-alkylammonium ions, and multiply charged ...

Electrospray ionization with an ultralow flow rate (≤4 nanoliters per minute) was used to directly couple capillary electrophoresis with tandem mass spectrometry for the analysis and identification of biomolecules in mixtures. A Fourier transform mass spectrometer provided full spectra (,30 kilodaltons) at a resolving power of ≈60,000 for injections of 0.7 × 10−18 to 3 × 10−18 mole of 8- to 29-kilodalton proteins with errors of ,1 dalton in molecular mass. Using a crude isolate from human blood, a value of 28,780.6 daltons (calculated, 28,780.4 daltons) was measured for carbonic anhydrase, representing 1 percent by weight of the protein in a single red blood cell. Dissociation of molecular ions from 9 × 10−18 mole of carbonic anhydrase gave nine sequence-specific fragment ions, more data than required for unique retrieval of this enzyme from the protein database.. ...

N2 - Motivation: High-throughput protein identification experiments based on tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) often suffer from low sensitivity and low-confidence protein identifications. In a typical shotgun proteomics experiment, it is assumed that all proteins are equally likely to be present. However, there is often other evidence to suggest that a protein is present and confidence in individual protein identification can be updated accordingly. Results: We develop a method that analyzes MS/MS experiments in the larger context of the biological processes active in a cell. Our method, MSNet, improves protein identification in shotgun proteomics experiments by considering information on functional associations ...
PART I: FIELD DESORPTION MASS SPECTROMETRY OF ALKALI METAL CRYPTATES. by MEI-KUEN. AU"PART I: FIELD DESORPTION MASS SPECTROMETRY OF ALKALI METAL CRYPTATES." by MEI-KUEN. AU
Part I. Field desorption (FD) mass spectra have been obtained from a series of alkali metal cryptates formed from {2.2.2}-, {2.2.1}- and {2.1.1}-cryptands with Li(+), Na(+) and K(+) salts of Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), OTs(-) and BPh(,4)(-). Stabilities of these complexes under FD conditions are compared with their thermodynamic stabilities in solution. Differences in these stabilities are attributed to the lack of solvation of ions under FD conditions. A marked anion effect is also observed in FD spectra. This effect is correlated with the recombination energy of the released cation and anion in the gaseous state. Part II. Acid phthalates from isomeric alicyclic alcohols have been studied by field desorption (FD) and electron impact (EI) mass spectrometry. Isomeric acid phthalates gave identical FD spectra and EI spectra. The use of these methods for distinguishing stereoisomers of this type thus proved to be unsuccessful. However, the field ionization (FI) spectra of cis- and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexyl

N2 - Protein quantitation by mass spectrometry has always been a resourceful technique in protein discovery, and more recently it has leveraged the advent of clinical proteomics. A single mass spectrometry analysis experiment provides identification and quantitation of proteins as well as information on posttranslational modifications landscape. By contrast, protein array technologies are restricted to quantitation of targeted proteins and their modifications. Currently, there are an overwhelming number of quantitative mass spectrometry methods for protein and peptide quantitation. The aim here is to provide an overview of the most common mass spectrometry methods and algorithms used in quantitative proteomics and discuss the computational aspects to obtain reliable quantitative measures of proteins, peptides and their ...

Peak picking as a pre-processing technique for imaging time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometryPeak picking as a pre-processing technique for imaging time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry
High surface sensitivity and lateral resolution imaging make time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) a unique and powerful tool for biological analysis. However, with the leaps forward made in the capabilities of the ToF-SIMS instrumentation, the data being recorded from these instruments has dramatically increased. Unfortunately, with these large, often complex, datasets, a bottleneck appears in their processing and interpretation. Here, an application of peak picking is described and applied to ToF-SIMS images allowing for large compression of data, noise removal and improved contrast, while retaining a high percentage of the original signal. Peak picking is performed to locate peaks within ToF-SIMS data. By using this information, signal arising from the same distribution can be summed and overlapping signals separated. As a result, the data size and complexity can be dramatically reduced. This method also acts as an effective noise filter, discarding unwanted noise from the data

N2 - Hair cells of the inner ear are not normally replaced during an animals life, and must continually renew components of their various organelles. Among these are the stereocilia, each with a core of several hundred actin filaments that arise from their apical surfaces and that bear the mechanotransduction apparatus at their tips. Actin turnover in stereocilia has previously been studied by transfecting neonatal rat hair cells in culture with a β-actin-GFP fusion, and evidence was found that actin is replaced, from the top down, in 2-3 days. Overexpression of the actin-binding protein espin causes elongation of ...

An accurate method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has been developed for quantitative analysis of calcitonin and insulin in different commercially available pharmaceutical products. Tryptic peptides derived from these polypeptides were chemically modified at their C-terminal lysine-residues with 2-methoxy-4,5-dihydro-imidazole (light tagging) as standard and deuterated 2-methoxy-4,5-dihydro-imidazole (heavy tagging) as internal standard (IS). The heavy modified tryptic peptides (4D-Lys tag), differed by four atomic mass units from the corresponding light labelled counterparts (4H-Lys tag). The normalized peak areas (the ratio between the light and heavy tagged peptides) were used to construct a standard curve to determine the concentration of the analytes. The concentrations of calcitonin and insulin content of the analyzed pharmaceutical products were accurately determined, and less than 5% error was obtained between the ...
How does high resolution mass spectrometry compare to tandem mass spectrometry for broad spectrum drug screening?How does high resolution mass spectrometry compare to tandem mass spectrometry for broad spectrum drug screening?
In May 2013, an 18-year-old patient arrived at the University of California-San Francisco emergency department in status epilepticus after reportedly taking two blotter papers of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Over the course of his hospital stay, clinicians ruled out other causes of seizures and suspected that his episode was related to the ingestion. However, LSD does not typically cause seizures, and routine drug screening didnt provide any clues. Extended toxicology screening was requested, and using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), we identified dimethoxychloroamphetamine (DOC) in the patients urine and serum.1 DOC is a potent hallucinogen that is often mistaken for LSD, and at high doses, has been reported to cause seizures.

Analytical Spectroscopy by R.P.W. ScottAnalytical Spectroscopy by R.P.W. Scott
The ion trap mass spectrometer is a modified form of the quadrupole mass spectrometer, and was originally designed as a chromatography detector. However, the combination of the ion trap mass spectrometer with its capacity for mass analysis and the chromatograph is a useful tandem technique. The ion trap mass spectrometer has a quite different electrode configuration to the quadrupole mass spectrometer and consists of three cylindrically symmetrical electrodes comprised of two end caps and a ring. The device can be easily miniaturized, the opposite internal electrode faces being only 2 cm apart. Each electrode has hyperbolic internal faces and in a similar manner to the quadrupole spectrometer, an rf voltage together with an DC voltage is applied to the ring and the end caps are grounded. As with the quadrupole mass spectrometer, the rf voltage causes rapid reversals of field direction, so any ions are alternately accelerated and decelerated in the axial direction and vice versa in the radial ...

Side-chain losses in electron capture dissociation to improve peptide identificationSide-chain losses in electron capture dissociation to improve peptide identification
The combination of collision-activated dissociation, (CAD) and electron capture dissociation, (ECD) yielded a 125% increase in protein identification. The S-score was developed for measuring the information content in MS/MS spectra. This measure made it possible to single out good quality spectra that were not identified by a search engine. Poor quality MS/MS data was filtered out, streamlining the identification process.. A proteomics grade de novo sequencing approach was developed enabling to almost completely sequence 19% of all MS/MS data with 95% reliability in a typical proteomics experiment.. A new tool, Modificomb, for identifying all types of modifications in a fast, reliable way was developed. New types of modifications have been discovered and the extent of modifications in gel based proteomics turned out to be greater than expected..

IJMS | Free Full-Text | Methods for Identification of CA125 from Ovarian Cancer Ascites by High Resolution Mass SpectrometryIJMS | Free Full-Text | Methods for Identification of CA125 from Ovarian Cancer Ascites by High Resolution Mass Spectrometry
CA125 is the most widely used tumour marker in ovarian cancer with unsatisfactory sensitivity and specificity especially at early stage. It is quantified by antibody-based immunoassays; however different molecular weight isoforms have been described in the literature which have never been validated by mass spectrometry, potentially affecting the diagnostic accuracy and clinical reliability of the test. In this study, CA125 was detected by Western blot and its identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. Two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis in combination with mass spectrometry revealed that positive Western blot signals up to 500 kDa are most likely false-positive interactions of M11-like and OC125-like antibodies. Fibronectin, identified as one of these false-positive interaction partners, increased the reading for CA125 in a first generation ELISA significantly (p = 0.02). The existence of low-molecular weight isoforms of CA125 is therefore questionable and is most likely reflecting cross-reactivity

Accurate clinical therapeutics rely on understanding the metabolic responses of individual cells. However, the high level of heterogeneity between cells means that simply sampling from large populations of cells is not necessarily a reliable approximation of an individual cell’s response. As a result, there have been numerous developments in the field of single-cell analysis to address this lack of knowledge. Many of these developments have focused on the coupling of capillary electrophoresis (CE), a separation technique with low sample consumption and high resolving power, and mass spectrometry (MS), a sensitive detection method for interrogating all ions in a sample in a single analysis. In recent years, there have been many notable advancements at each step of the single-cell CE-MS analysis workflow, including sampling, manipulation, separation, and MS analysis. In each of these areas, the combined improvements in analytical instrumentation and achievements of numerous researchers have served

Mass Spectrometry Behavior of Glycated Peptides - Analysis of Protein Post-Translational Modifications by Mass SpectrometryMass Spectrometry Behavior of Glycated Peptides - Analysis of Protein Post-Translational Modifications by Mass Spectrometry
The mass increment indicating the detection of FL and other fructosamine- modified peptides is +162 Da. Glycation of intact proteins and large peptide chains has been detected by electrospray positive ion mass spectrometry and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Roberts and coworkers detected and quantified fructosamine- modified a- and p-chains of hemoglobin by deconvolution of multiply charged ion series [84], shown in later studies by peptide mapping to reflect fructosa- mine formation at sites a-K61, P-V1, and P-K66 [28]. Increase in molecular mass of human serum albumin (HSA) glycated by glucose prepared in vitro was measured by MALDI-TOF. This revealed that preparations of glycated HSA had a large increase in mass due to the high extent of glycation, dissimilar from the low increase in mass of glycated HSA in plasma samples in vivo. For example, HSA from human plasma had a mean mass increment of +243 Da, whereas model glucose-modified ...
