Mass Spectrometry of Amino Acids and Proteins
Likemostmatter (with the exception of, say, neutron stars), proteins and peptides are mostly made of nothing – an ephemeral cloud of electrons with very little mass surrounding tiny and very dense atomic nuclei that contain nearly all of themass (i.e., peptides and proteins aremade of atoms). Atoms havemass and the unit ofmass that is most convenient to use is called the atomic mass unit (abbre...
متن کاملBioinspired chemical inversion of L-amino acids to D-amino acids.
L-Amino acids dominate the natural world almost to the exclusion of D-amino acids. However, some important D-amino acids1 have been found in biology, notably as neurotransmitters (D-serine)2 and as building blocks (D-alanine) for bacterial cell wall synthesis.3 There has been considerable interest in understanding the mechanism of the so-called “L to D conversion” of amino acids4 since enzymes ...
متن کاملChiral capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry of amino acids in foods.
In this work, the development of a new chiral capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) method to separate D- and L-amino acids is shown. On-line coupling between CE and MS is established through an electrospray-coaxial sheath flow interface. Enantiomer separation is achieved by using a cheap, nonvolatile, chiral selector as beta-cyclodextrin in the background electrolyte (BGE) togeth...
متن کاملElectrospray ionization mass spectrometry of highly heterogeneous protein systems: protein ion charge state assignment via incomplete charge reduction.
Correct mass and charge assignment for large highly heterogeneous macromolecular ions (e.g., large glycoproteins with significant carbohydrate content) presents a great challenge in native electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS). A new approach to this problem combines complexity reduction (mass-selection of a narrow distribution of ionic species from a heterogeneous mixture) and gas...
متن کاملCharge monitoring cell mass spectrometry.
An instrument to directly measure the charge carried by a cell or a microparticle as well as mass-to-charge ratio of the cell/microparticle was developed for rapid mass distribution measurement. A successful mass spectrum with a record high mass has been demonstrated. In this article, the details of the construction and operation of the charge monitoring cell mass spectrometer are reported. Exa...
