چکیده

For the first time, we report the applications of Mn(2+)-doped ZnS@cysteine nanoparticles (NPs) as matrices for analysis of coccidiostats (lasalocid, monensin, salinomycin and narasin) and peptide mixtures (Met-enk, Leu-enk, HW6 and gramicidin) in surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SALDI-TOF MS). The Mn(2+)-doped ZnS@cysteine NPs have been successfully synthesized in aqueous phase and characterized by SEM, TEM and FT-IR spectroscopy. Comparison with the bare ZnS NPs, ZnS@cysteine NPs and CHCA to serve as matrices, we found that using Mn(2+)-doped ZnS@cysteine NPs as matrices offer better detection sensitivity and less background interferences for small molecule analysis. Current approach has been successfully applied for the analysis of peptide mixtures in urine samples and coccidiostats from egg samples by SALDI-TOF MS. The Mn(2+) ions doped in ZnS@cysteine NPs play a significant role for enhancing the detection sensitivity of analytes in SALDI-TOF MS. We believe that this approach is a promising tool to solve the low mass interference problems in MALDI-MS for complex mixture analysis of peptides and drugs.

One-pot synthesis of dopamine dithiocarbamate functionalized gold nanoparticles for quantitative analysis of small molecules and phosphopeptides in SALDI- and MALDI-MS.

The sensitivity and efficiency of SALDI-MS or MALDI-MS is mainly dependent on the nature of matrix. A novel approach is proposed for one-pot synthesis of dopamine dithiocarbamate-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DDTC-Au NPs). Their application to quantification of small molecules by surface assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SALDI-TOF-MS) and rapid identifi...

CTAB-capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots and label-free aptamer for room-temperature phosphorescence detection of mercury ions.

A new room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) mercury ions sensor has been developed based on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (CTAB/Mn-ZnS QDs) and label-free thymine (T)-rich aptamer. The formed T-Hg(2+)-T dsDNA can linearly quench the RTP of Mn-ZnS QDs through electron transfer and aggregation effect, and give a detection limit of 1.5 nM.
