Biomolecule Analysis by Ion Mobility Spectrometry

Biomolecule analysis by ion mobility spectrometry.

Although nonnative protein conformations, including intermediates along the folding pathway and kinetically trapped misfolded species that disfavor the native state, are rarely isolated in the solution phase, they are often stable in the gas phase, where macromolecular ions from electrospray ionization can exist in varying charge states. Differences in the structures of nonnative conformations ...

DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF ACETONE IN THE BREATH OF DIABETICS BY ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY METHOD

Background: The ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is an analytical technique that is widely used due to its high sensitivity and speed for the detection of ionized molecules in gas phase and under atmospheric pressure. Breath analysis is a new method for obtaining information about person's clinical conditions that is considered by researchers. Human exhaled air contains a variety of components s...

Multidimensional Analysis of 16 Glucose Isomers by Ion Mobility Spectrometry.

Diastereomeric adducts comprising an enantiomerically pure monosaccharide analyte, a peptide, and/or an amino acid and a divalent metal ion (for 16 different monosaccharide isomers) are generated by electrospray ionization and analyzed by combined ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) techniques. Mobility distributions of [l-Ser + M + H](+) (where l-Ser is l-serine and M is a giv...

Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry

for more complex analysers for automated sample processing and plant control. The separation time will continue to decrease; in the past there has been limited interest in fast separations but this could change as automated sample processing is developed. Increasing use of coupled techniques such as GC-GC, liquid chromatography-GC, and supercritical Suid chromatography-GC for the separation of ...
