چکیده

This article presents the utility of mass spectrometry with a MALDI ionization source in natural products analysis. The advantages and drawbacks of this technique for natural products analyses will be presented and discussed. In addition, the structural determination of secondary metabolites using MALDI-MS/MS will be explored, which can guide MALDI experimental methods and stimulate new research in this area. Finally, several important approaches for MALDI data processing will be discussed.

Prediction of the Presence of Lipid Derivatives in Follicular Fluid and Reproductive Outcome among Infertile Women by MALDI Mass Spectrometry Method

It has been documented that specific follicular fluid (FF) biochemical characteristics may be essential to determining oocyte quality. Lipid derivatives have most important role in the fertilization process and embryonic development. MALDI mass spectrometry is used for the diagnosis of biomolecules in the FF and serum of infertile women. FF and blood samples from 13 infertile women (20-38...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric analysis of DNA on microarrays.

BACKGROUND Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in biomolecule analysis with a wide range of application possibilities, including genotyping of single-base variations (also known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs) for candidate gene studies and diagnostic typing of DNA markers. We tested a method that does not require stringent purif...

MALDI-MS: a Rapid and Reliable Method for Drug-to-Antibody Ratio Determination of Antibody-Drug Conjugates

Background: It is believed that the loading value of anticancer drug conjugated to the monoclonal antibody, called drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), is the main quality feature of antibody-drug conjugates. Methods: In this study, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was used to determine the average molecular weight of trastuzumab and its three conjugated forms. The differe...
