چکیده
During production of the semisynthetic eicosapeptide Phe-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-GlyAsn-Gly-Asp-Phe-Glu-Glu-Be-Pro-Glu-Glu-Tyr-Leu, two minor impurities were isolated in which Be-15 had been replaced by other amino acids. The molecular weights of the two peptide minor products were 14 u lower and 14 u higher, respectively, than the major product with the foregoing amino acid sequence. It was determined that the first, lower molecular weight, impurity contained Val instead of Ile at position 15 of the sequence, whereas the second, higher molecular weight, impurity contained an unusual amino acid at the same position. This amino acid, which was characterized from the lowand high-energy collision-induced dissociation product ion tandem mass spectra of the second pe tide impurity, is an a-amino acid with an asymmetric side chain branched at the @carbon.

Fast atom bombardment-induced condensation of glycerol with ammonium surfactants. I: Regioselectivity of the adduct formation.
Fast atom bombardment promotes condensation between trimethyl tetradecyl ammonium cations and the glycerol matrix. Bond formation at both the head and tail of the surfactant is demonstrated by low energy collision-induced dissociation (ClD) of deuterium-labeled precursors, with a preponderance of the reaction apparently occurring at the tail. Two distinct ClD pathways are identified for each ki...
متن کاملThe massachusetts institute of technology mass spectrometry school.
The events that led to the establishment of organic and biochemical mass spectrometry at MIT by the author in 1958, and its growth over the past three and one-half decades are briefly chronicled. A major emphasis is placed on the work with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who were educated in the field and in turn further contributed to the training of others. An attempt is made a...
متن کاملDesign and performance of a high resolution electrospray ion source for a magnetic sector mass spectrometer with a heated capillary inlet.
The design and performance of an electrospray ion source for a high resolution magnetic sector mass spectrometer that utilizes a heated capillary has been presented. Low pressure, high sensitivity, stable electrospray, low flow rates, and low electronic noise were important factors in achieving high resolution electrospray mass spectrometry. A unit mass resolution has been achieved for biomolec...
متن کاملEffect of high-performance liquid chromatography mobile phase components on sensitivity in negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
We have investigated the effect of several common buffers (10-mM formic acid, 10-mM ammonium acetate, and 100-mM ammonium acetate) on the ionization of a series of model compounds that are amenable to negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization to determine the extent of ionization quenching that can occur. In addition, we have compared the sensitivity of these standard mobile phases to a...
