چکیده
A method to quantitate lysophosphatidylserine by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry using 1-hexa-decanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine as internal standard is described. The standard curve is linear with a correlation coefficient r2 = 0.999 from 10 to 1000 ng. This curve has been used to quantitate LPS in rat brain using phosphorus assay as a test control. We found 475 +/- 70 ng of LPS in 1 mg of tissue (n = 3). This method presents advantages due to its sensitivity and its capability to give molecular information of the unmodified compound.

Positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the molecular species of glycerophosphatidylserine.
The structure of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine was analyzed by positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and collisional activation mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectroscopy. The molecular weight, the polar-head group, and the fatty acid composition of this species were identified by the appearance of protonated and solvated protonated species ions, diglyceride and m...
متن کاملMeasurement of the ratio of lecithin to sphingomyelin in amniotic fluid by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.
We describe a fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric method to determine the ratio of lecithin to sphingomyelin in amniotic fluid. Between m/z 400 and 1000, amniotic fluid extracts showed clear peaks for only sphingomyelin and lecithin. The molecular species of fatty acid in the phospholipids were analyzed quantitatively and quickly in a small volume of the extracts. The dipalmitoyllecithin/p...
متن کاملFAST ATOM BOMBARDMENT MASS SPECTROMETRY (FABMS) ANALYSIS OF AN N- TERMINAL - BLOCKED PEPTIDE
FABMS analysis of T-lb peptide before and after one cycle of Edman degradation indicated an unblocked N-terminal Thr residue for this tryptic peptide. In contrast , our data showed a molecular protonated ion, MH + for T- la peptide at 655 mass units (mu) which is 42 mu higher than the MH ion of T- 1b peptide. In addition, T- la peptide was not amenable to one cycle of manual Edman degrada...
متن کاملMass spectral characterization of an endogenous digitalislike factor from human plasma.
A sodium pump inhibitor has been isolated from human plasma and extensively purified. This material, endogenous digitalislike factor, was examined by a variety of mass spectrometric techniques. A low-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of a sample of purified endogenous digitalislike factor revealed a single unique molecular ion in the mass range 100-2,500. The accurate...
متن کاملPregnanediol-3 alpha-glucuronide measured in diluted urine by mass spectrometry with fast atom bombardment/negative-ion ionization.
We describe a mass-spectrometric method based on the fast atom bombardment ionization technique in the negative-ion mode for measuring pregnanediol-3 alpha-glucuronide in diluted urine from women. The procedure requires addition of testosterone-17 beta-D-glucuronide (2.5 micrograms/25 microL) to the urine sample as internal standard, and the sample is added directly to the fast atom bombardment...
