Full Subunit Coverage Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LCMS+) of an Oligomeric Membrane Protein

Full Subunit Coverage Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LCMS ) of an Oligomeric Membrane Protein CYTOCHROME b6f COMPLEX FROM SPINACH AND THE CYANOBACTERIUM MASTIGOCLADUS LAMINOSUS*□S

Highly active cytochrome b6f complexes from spinach and the cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus have been analyzed by liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LCMS ). Both sizeexclusion and reverse-phase separations were used to separate protein subunits allowing measurement of their molecular masses to an accuracy exceeding 0.01% ( 3 Da at 30,000 Da). The produc...

Forensic DNA fingerprinting by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

The determination of the molecular mass of a DNA sequence has several benefits over conventional fragment-length analysis that are advantageous to the forensic field: (i) sequence variation is captured that increases the power of discrimination compared with that obtained by conventional fragment-length analysis. First experiments showed that this increase makes up to 20%-30% for STR analysis. ...

chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

Improved characterization of tomato polyphenols using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization linear ion trap quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is the second most important fruit crop worldwide. Tomatoes are a key component in the Mediterranean diet, which is strongly associated with a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases. In this work, we use a combination of mass spectrometry (MS) techniques with negative ion detection, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization linear ion trap quadr...

Quantitative dynamics of site-specific protein phosphorylation determined using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

We have developed and validated a method that uses liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry to quantify site-specific protein phosphorylation. The method uses selected ion monitoring to determine the chromatographic peak areas of specific tryptic peptides from the protein of interest. The extent of phosphorylation is determined from the ratio of the phosphopeptide peak ar...
