Exact mass determination for elemental analysis of ions produced by matrix-assisted laser desorption.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The exact masses of bastadins, cyclic peptides from marine sponges Ianthella basta, are determined using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) coupled to a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Two known compounds were mixed with the unknown to serve as internal calibrants. The mass of the calibrants bracketed the mass of the unknown compound. With this method, exact masses were obtained to within 5 ppm for single determinations, and less than 3 ppm for multiple determinations, allowing the derivation of elemental composition. This method is viable for routinely obtaining the exact masses of new compounds with MALDI.

Alkaline degradation of oligosaccharides coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry: a method for sequencing oligosaccharides.
A new technique for determining sequence and linkage information of underivatized oligosaccharides is developed using alkaline degradation and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry (MALDI-FTMS). Alkaline degradation (also known as the "peeling" reaction) is a chemical degradation technique that only cleaves the glycosidic bond at the reducing end by bet...
متن کاملLaser desorption and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of 29-kDa Au:SR cluster compounds.
Positive and negative ions generated by laser-based ionization methods from three gold:thiolate cluster compounds are mass analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The three compounds have similar inorganic core masses ( approximately 29 kDa, approximately 145 Au atoms) but different n-alkanethiolate ligands associated with each cluster compound (Au:SR, R = butane, hexane, dodecane). Irrad...
متن کاملA matrix of 3,4-diaminobenzophenone for the analysis of oligonucleotides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry
A new matrix of 3,4-diaminobenzophenone (DABP) was demonstrated to be advantageous in the analysis of oligonucleotides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. With DABP as a matrix, intact oligonucleotide ions can be readily produced with lower laser powers, resulting in better detection limits, less fragmentation and fewer alkali metal ion adducts compa...
متن کاملMatrix-assisted laser desorption ion trap mass spectrometry: efficient isolation and effective fragmentation of peptide ions.
Effective analysis of the sequence of peptides using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) tandem ion trap mass spectrometry requires efficient mass isolation and the ability to induce extensive sequence-specific fragmentation. The present paper describes a new excitation scheme, which we term red-shifted off-resonance large-amplitude excitation (RSORLAE), that can deposit higher ...
