Ion Activation Methods for Peptides and Proteins

Natural peptides and proteins: potent tyrosinase inhibitors

Background and objectives: Tyrosinase is a copper containing oxidase which is crucial for controlling the production of melanin in creatures such as bacteria, fungi, plants and mammals. It is involved in the first two steps of melanin biosynthesis and leads to pigmentation and different types of cancer such as melanoma. Also, it is responsible for browning of fruits and vegetab...

Ion activation methods for tandem mass spectrometry.

This tutorial presents the most common ion activation techniques employed in tandem mass spectrometry. In-source fragmentation and metastable ion decompositions, as well as the general theory of unimolecular dissociations of ions, are initially discussed. This is followed by tandem mass spectrometry, which implies that the activation of ions is distinct from the ionization step, and that the pr...

islanding detection methods for microgrids

امروزه استفاده از منابع انرژی پراکنده کاربرد وسیعی یافته است . اگر چه این منابع بسیاری از مشکلات شبکه را حل می کنند اما زیاد شدن آنها مسائل فراوانی برای سیستم قدرت به همراه دارد . استفاده از میکروشبکه راه حلی است که علاوه بر استفاده از مزایای منابع انرژی پراکنده برخی از مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط آنها را نیز منتفی می کند . همچنین میکروشبکه ها کیفیت برق و قابلیت اطمینان تامین انرژی مشترکان را افزایش ...

Ion beam tritium labeling of proteins and peptides.

A general method for tritiating proteins, peptides, and other nonvolatile organic compounds has been developed. A carefully controlled particle beam composed of T3+ and T2+ ions and fast T2 molecules is accelerated into a sample target within a vacuum chamber. This beam method has been used to tritiate ribonuclease A, porcine pancreatic elastase, thermolysin, soybean trypsin inhibitor, alpha 1-...
