Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry of transfer ribonucleic acids isolated from yeast.

Rapid Identification of Anaerobic Bacteria Using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry

Late Periprosthetic Joint Infection due to Staphylococcus lugdunensis Identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Staphylococcus lugdunensis, member to the group of coagulase-negative staphylococci, is previously thought to be rarely isolated. Recently other staphylococci have been described, which were supposedly related to S. lugdunensis, such as Staphylococcus pseudolugdunensis and Staphylococcus pettenkoferi. To decrease the rate misidentifications, an accurate identification method, such as matrix-ass...

Characterisation of bacteria by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation and electrospray mass spectrometry.

Chemical analysis for the characterisation of micro-organisms is rapidly evolving, after the recent advent of new ionisation methods in mass spectrometry (MS): electrospray (ES) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI). These methods allow quick characterisation of micro-organisms, either directly or after minimum sample preparation. This review provides a brief introduction to E...

Matrix-free mass spectrometric imaging using laser desorption ionisation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool in metabolomics and proteomics for the spatial localization and identification of pharmaceuticals, metabolites, lipids, peptides and proteins in biological tissues. However, sample preparation remains a crucial variable in obtaining the most accurate distributions. Common washing steps used to remove salts, and solvent-based matrix application,...

Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Elucidation of the Transduction Cascade Triggered by B cell Receptors

Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics The above definition presents a challenge to modern mass spectrometry, as the proteome of a cell is not constant, but rather is regulated dynamically. For example, different proteins with different numbers of copies are present during the different stages of cell development, differentiation and proliferation, as well as in the individual subcellular processes. ...
