INTRODUCTION Mobile-phase ion chromatography (MPIC) is a technique that combines ion-pair chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection. Ion-pair chromatography is commonly used in combination with UV detection, in which case it is referred to as reversedphase ion-pair chromatography (RPIPC). MPIC has the advantage of using conductivity detection, which serves as a universal detection m...

The spine-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis curtus) is known to cause human deaths, yet its venom composition has not yet been proteomically characterised. An indepth proteomic analysis was performed on H. curtus venom from two different seasons, January and June, corresponding to adults and subadults, respectively. Venoms from adult and subadult H. curtus individuals were compared using reversedpha...

Background: Epidemiologic studies have linked flavonoid-rich foods with a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality. Some cocoas are flavonoid-rich and contain the monomeric flavanols ( )-epicatechin and (+)-catechin and oligomeric procyanidins formed from these monomeric units. Both the monomers and the oligomers have shown potential in favorably influencing cardiovascular health in in vitro an...

Address correspondence to P.W. Carr. hen preparing binary eluents containing both an organic solvent and a buffer for a buffer reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC), one must know the solubility of the buffer in the organic cosolvent to avoid precipitation of the buffer salt. For example, one must know the highest percent organic cosolvent (that is, %B, v/v) in which a buffer salt remains s...

There are various methods for the analysis of Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate in food products, but a rapid and reliable method for identification of these preservatives in Doogh (an Iranian traditional dairy drink) is a procedure, in which high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) utilized and followed by UV diode array detection of the two preservatives. The aim of this case study w...

Oxidative damage is thought to play a role in the aetiology of aging and a number of diseases including cancer, chronic inflammation, ischemia, degenerative arterial and autoimmune diseases [I]. 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), an oxidative DNA adduct. has gained much popularity as a biomarker of damage to DNA. HPLC combined with electrochemical detection provides a selective and sensitive method...

Cereal Chem. 66(2): 112-116 The reproducibility of computer-derived reversed-phase highcomputed peak areas and heights, and percentage peak areas and heights. performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) quantitation parameters Whereas chromatographic resolution was relatively constant over time, following prolonged use of a single commercially available column was prolonged column use significa...

In many pathological conditions such as inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, the in vivo toxicity of nitric oxide has been attributed to the toxic oxidant peroxynitrite. Interaction of peroxynitrite with biological molecules can modify tyrosine residues on the proteins at the ortho position resulting in the formation of the stable end-product, 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (3-NT). Recent investiga...

THE 15TH ASILOMAR CONFERENCE on Mass Spectrometry this October was devoted to the role of mass spectrometry (MS) in proteomics. The Asilomar Conference site is in a picturesque national park in Pacific Grove, CA, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The conference aims to bring together scientists from a cross section of disciplines that are applying MS to an emerging field. This year, that emerging ...
