Depth Analysis of Polymer Degradation by MALDI-TOF-MS

Dossier MALDI - TOF ■ Oligonucleotide analysis by MALDI - MS

Matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI) time-offlight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been successfully used for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation by mass analysis of fragments generated by concentration-dependent exonuclease digestion. This approach is particularly well-suited to the analysis of synthetic DNA due to the relatively short length of the DNA strands. Additionally, an importa...

Identification of Candida species isolated from vulvovaginitis in Mashhad, Iran by Use of MALDI-TOF MS

Background and Purpose Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common problem in women. The purpose of this study was to identify of Candida species isolated from vulvovaginitis woman suffering vulvovaginitis refered to Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, by use of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.  Materials and Methods The 65 clinical samples isolated from Vulvovaginitis women were collected in...

Comparative proteomics analysis of human osteosarcoma by 2D DIGE with MALDI-TOF/TOF MS

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone and the third most common cancer in childhood and adolescence. However, controversy concerning the ideal combination of chemotherapy agents ensued throughout the last quarter of the 20th century because of conflicting and often nonrandomized data. Collaborative efforts to increase understanding of the biology of osteosarcoma a...

MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of protein and DNA.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has become a powerful and widespread analytical tool in all fields of life science. The wide mass range (1-300 kDa), high accuracy, and sensitivity make it a superior method for analysis of all kinds of biomolecules including proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. In combination with 2D-gelelectroph...
