چکیده
■ ■ Provides a single separation technique and a single instrumentation approach for rapid lipids analyses IN T RODUC T ION The analysis of complex lipids has historically been a challenging task and may require a variety of analytical techniques. Lipids are generally recognized as hydrophobic compounds, but the properties of complex lipids containing phosphorus, sulfur, sugar, and nitrogen have a wide polarity range. Developing separation-based methodology utilizing a single technique is recognized as a common challenge for scientists researching lipidomic and metabolomic applications.

متن کاملAnalysis of Tricyclic Antidepressants in Human Urine Using UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2)
■ ■ Compatibility with SPE eluate for direct injection IN T RODUC T ION Although tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are an older class of drug, they remain pharmacologically relevant. For example, inadequate response to other classes of antidepressants in dosed subjects remains common, ensuring the continued viability of TCAs. Furthermore, the fact that they are significantly less expensive than ...
متن کاملA mutation in a purported regulatory gene affects control of sterol uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Aerobically growing wild-type strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are unable to take exogenously supplied sterols from media. This aerobic sterol exclusion is vitiated under anaerobic conditions, in heme-deficient strains, and under some conditions of impaired sterol synthesis. Mutants which can take up sterols aerobically in heme-competent cells have been selected. One of these mutations, desi...

New analytical approach for high-throughput and comprehensive lipidomic analysis of biological samples using ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography (UHPSFC) with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is presented in this work as an alternative approach to established shotgun MS or high-performance liquid chromatography-MS. The lipid class separation is performed b...
متن کاملStructural mechanism of ergosterol regulation by fungal sterol transcription factor Upc2.
Transcriptional regulation of ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi is crucial for sterol homeostasis and for resistance to azole drugs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Upc2 transcription factor activates the expression of related genes in response to sterol depletion by poorly understood mechanisms. We have determined the structure of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Upc2, which displays a novel α-h...
