Mass determination of molecules of biological interest by fast heavy ions induced desorption mass spectrometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 It has been shown recently that fast heavy ions can induce a mild desorption of organic molecules deposited on a thin foil, when passing through the foil. A time of flight mass spectrometer, originally developed to identify the mass of radioactive nuclei, has been slightly transformed to allow the determination of the mass of large molecules. The desorption of the molecules is at the present time obtained by the fission fragments of a radioactive source 252Cf. Preliminary results on mass determinations and mass spectra are reported in the field of alkaloids and of nucleosides. Revue Phys.

Liquid Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry (liquid SIMS) is an obsolescent ionization technique that revolutionized the analyses of large biological molecules in the 1980s. The term includes fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS). The technique has been largely superseded by electrospray ionization. This account will cover the history of the technique, the principles of the operation, and...
متن کاملDesorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Common to all experiments in mass spectrometry is the creation of gas-phase ions. Electron impact (EI) ionization is a familiar method for creating ions from volatile gas-phase molecules (M). In EI ionization, fast-moving electrons remove an electron from the neutral molecule to create the odd-electron molecular ion M`Õ. Another common ionization method is chemical ionization (CI). Here, an ion...

متن کاملStructure determination of beta-glucans from Ganoderma lucidum with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry.
A novel method that uses matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to analyze molecular weight and sequencing of glucan in Ganoderma lucidum is presented. Thus, beta-glucan, which was isolated from fruiting bodies of G. lucidum, was measured in a direct and fast way using MALDI mass spectrometry. In addition, tandem mass spectrometry of permethylated glucans of G. lu...
متن کاملDetermination of Mebudipine in Human Plasma by Liquid Chromatography–tandem Mass Spectrometry
In previous studies, mebudipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, showed a considerable potential to be used in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the current study was to develop a valid method using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to assay mebudipine in the human plasma. Separation was achieved on a Zorbax...
