Formaldehyde adducts of glutathione. Structure elucidation by two-dimensional n.m.r. spectroscopy and fast-atom-bombardment tandem mass spectrometry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aqueous mixtures of formaldehyde and glutathione react to form a variety of cyclized adducts in addition to S-hydroxymethylglutathione. The adducts are in labile equilibrium with each other and are not readily separated. The structures of two of the other major adducts were determined by concerted application of 13C-1H two-dimensional chemical-shift correlation, fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry to the adduct mixtures in aqueous solution.

Application of fast atom bombardment combined with tandem mass spectrometry to the structural elucidation of O-demethylabierixin and related polyether antibiotics.
O-Demethylabierixin, a new polyether antibiotic, was isolated from a Streptomyces spp. Its structure elucidation was carried out with fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry-mass spectrometry (FAB-MS/MS) by comparing spectral patterns with those of structurally similar polyether compounds, nigericin and abierixin. The collision-induced dissoc...
متن کاملGlycosphingolipids. Application of Fab Mass Spectrometry and High Resolution Proton Nmr
The potential of fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry and of high resolution proton NMR spectroscopy, in the structure elucidation of complex glycosphingolipids (GSL), was assessed with the aid of unmodified, peracetylated and permethylated derivatives. The results of negative ion FAB MS on native GSL and of positive FAB MS on their permethylated derivatives proved to be highly complem...
متن کاملFAST ATOM BOMBARDMENT MASS SPECTROMETRY (FABMS) ANALYSIS OF AN N- TERMINAL - BLOCKED PEPTIDE
FABMS analysis of T-lb peptide before and after one cycle of Edman degradation indicated an unblocked N-terminal Thr residue for this tryptic peptide. In contrast , our data showed a molecular protonated ion, MH + for T- la peptide at 655 mass units (mu) which is 42 mu higher than the MH ion of T- 1b peptide. In addition, T- la peptide was not amenable to one cycle of manual Edman degrada...
متن کاملTetrahydromethanopterin, a carbon carrier in methanogenesis.
Evidence obtained by 13C NMR spectroscopy indicates that tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT) serves as a carbon carrier for C1 units at the methine, methylene, and methyl levels of oxidation. All three derivatives of H4MPT served as substrates for methanogenesis by cell extracts under a hydrogen atmosphere; in each instance, methane evolved at a rate comparable to that obtained when 2-(methylthio)e...
متن کاملAdduct formation identification between phenyl glycidyl ether and 2'-deoxyadenosine and thymidine by chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Thymidine and 2'-deoxyadenosine were reacted with phenyl glycidyl ether in order to study the formation of the corresponding 2'-deoxynucleoside adducts. Separation methods were elaborated using either reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection, or centrifugal circular thin-layer chromatography. The adducts were isolated on a preparative scale and were ...
