MASS SPECTROMETRY IN STRUCTURAL AND STEREOCHEMICAL PROBLEMS, IV. VINDOLININE

Stereochemical problems in macrolide antibiotics.

Since 1950, well over fifty macrolides have been derived from various Actinomycetes in screening laboratories located at many corners of the world. Among the most intensely studied macrolides are those produced on a commercial scale (erythromycin, oleandomycin, tylosin, leucomycin and spiramycin) as well as examples of particular historical/scientific importance (Magnamycin, pikromycin, narbomy...

Combined Use Of Proteases And Mass Spectrometry In Structural Biology

Structural mass spectrometry in biologics discovery: advances and future trends.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the key techniques in protein characterization. In this article, the workflow for MS-based structural characterization of biologics in biopharmaceutical drug discovery is presented, including characterization of primary and higher order structures. Advances in MS techniques in protein characterization are illustrated, including electron transfer dissociation MS ...

Structural analysis of ionic organotin(IV) compounds using electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

A novel electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric approach for the structure elucidation of ionic organotin(IV) compounds or complexes with weakly bonded ligands as for example monodentate carboxylates or sulfonates is proposed using both positive-ion and negative-ion ESI tandem mass spectra. The ionization mechanism of organotin(IV) compounds involves the cleavage of the most labile bon...

Mass spectrometry: come of age for structural and dynamical biology.

Over the past two decades, mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a bone fide approach for structural biology. MS can inform on all levels of protein organization, and enables quantitative assessments of their intrinsic dynamics. The key advantages of MS are that it is a sensitive, high-resolution separation technique with wide applicability, and thereby allows the interrogation of transient pro...
