Electron Detachment Dissociation and Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation of Heparin Tetrasaccharides.

Heparin glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) present the most difficult glycoform for analytical characterization due to high levels of sulfation and structural heterogeneity. Recent contamination of the clinical heparin supply and subsequent fatalities has highlighted the need for sensitive methodologies of analysis. In the last decade, tandem mass spectrometry has been increasingly applied for the analy...

Electron capture dissociation, electron detachment dissociation and infrared multiphoton dissociation of sucrose octasulfate.

The structural analysis of sulfated carbohydrates such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) has been a long- standing challenge for the field of mass spectrometry. The dissociation of sulfated carbohydrates by collisionally- activated dissociation (CAD) or infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), which activate ions via vibrational excitation, typically result in few cleavages and abundant SO(3) loss...

Infrared multiphoton dissociation of alkali metal-coordinated oligosaccharides.

Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of alkali metal-coordinated oligosaccharides was obtained in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Fragmentation of the oligosaccharides was observed for Li+- and Na+-coordinated species. For larger alkali metal ions (K+, Rb+, and Cs+), the major products were the alkali metal ions. IRMPD experiments were performed on milk oligosaccharides, and the dis...

Unsteady Phenomena in Supersonic Nozzle Flow Separation

This work considers the instability of the jet plume from an overexpanded, shockcontaining convergent-divergent nozzle and attempts to correlate this instability to internal shock-induced separation phenomena. Time resolved wall pressure measurements and Pitot measurements are used as primary diagnostics. For the conditions of this study flow separation is asymmetric resulting in a large separa...
