چکیده

We describe a mass-spectrometric method based on the fast atom bombardment ionization technique in the negative-ion mode for measuring pregnanediol-3 alpha-glucuronide in diluted urine from women. The procedure requires addition of testosterone-17 beta-D-glucuronide (2.5 micrograms/25 microL) to the urine sample as internal standard, and the sample is added directly to the fast atom bombardment target with no further manipulation. We have assessed and evaluated the method by the traditional criteria of reliability.

Positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the molecular species of glycerophosphatidylserine.

The structure of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine was analyzed by positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and collisional activation mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectroscopy. The molecular weight, the polar-head group, and the fatty acid composition of this species were identified by the appearance of protonated and solvated protonated species ions, diglyceride and m...

FAST 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...

Qualitative and relative quantitative analysis of urinary components with linear ion trap and FT ICR mass spectrometer to search for biomarkers.

The purpose of the present study was to construct a method to identify varying amounts of urinary components between two groups. We measured urine acquired from 4 healthy men and 4 healthy women with a high performance liquid chromatograph-linear ion trap and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (HPLC-LIT FT ICR mass spectrometer). We also rigorously compared the differen...

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 The technique has been largely superseded by electrospray ionization.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...

Partial characterization of the molecular species of phosphatidylserine from human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.

Phosphatidylserine from human plasma was purified and identified by amino normal-phase and octadecylsilyl reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. The two major molecular species within the human plasma phosphatidylserine, qualitatively determined by negative-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, are 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine and 1-stearoy...
