Biological cluster mass spectrometry.
This article reviews the new physics and new applications of secondary ion mass spectrometry using cluster ion probes. These probes, particularly C(60), exhibit enhanced molecular desorption with improved sensitivity owing to the unique nature of the energy-deposition process. In addition, these projectiles are capable of eroding molecular solids while retaining the molecular specificity of mas...
متن کاملMass determination of molecules of biological interest by fast heavy ions induced desorption mass spectrometry
2014 It has been shown recently that fast heavy ions can induce a mild desorption of organic molecules deposited on a thin foil, when passing through the foil. A time of flight mass spectrometer, originally developed to identify the mass of radioactive nuclei, has been slightly transformed to allow the determination of the mass of large molecules. The desorption of the molecules is at the prese...
متن کاملComputational mass spectrometry for small molecules
: The identification of small molecules from mass spectrometry (MS) data remains a major challenge in the interpretation of MS data. This review covers the computational aspects of identifying small molecules, from the identification of a compound searching a reference spectral library, to the structural elucidation of unknowns. In detail, we describe the basic principles and pitfalls of search...
متن کاملProteomic tools for quantitation by mass spectrometry.
Techniques for the quantitation of proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry (MS) are reviewed. A range of labeling processes is discussed, including metabolic, enzymatic, and chemical labeling, and techniques that can be employed for comparative and absolute quantitation are presented. Advantages and drawbacks of the techniques are discussed, and suggestions for the appropriate uses of the me...
متن کاملCharacterization of hydrogen bonding motifs in proteins: hydrogen elimination monitoring by ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry.
Determination of structure and folding of certain classes of proteins remains intractable by conventional structural characterization strategies and has spurred the development of alternative methodologies. Mass spectrometry-based approaches have a unique capacity to differentiate protein heterogeneity due to the ability to discriminate populations, whether minor or major, featuring modificatio...
