    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for determining the amino acid composition, and more preferably the sequence, of a peptide using mass spectrometric techniques. The method is particularly useful for sequencing peptides isolated from natural sources or from libraries of peptides that have been prepared synthetically, and for peptides that are not amenable to Edman degradation sequencing. In one embodiment, the method for determining the amino acid composition or sequence of a peptide comprises determining the difference of the mass of the peptide from the mass of a deuterium-hydrogen exchanged peptide, and from this difference determining the number of exchangeable (labile) hydrogen atoms (protons). Candidate peptides having amino acid compositions or sequences that do not contain the observed number of exchangeable protons are eliminated. In another embodiment, synthesis of a portion of the peptides in a library of peptides is terminated after each coupling step, whereby a set of sequentially truncated fragments of each peptide is formed. Thus the sequence of the peptide can be determined by determining the difference in the molecular weight between each peptide or fragment thereof and the sequentially smaller fragment of the peptide.

    摘要: An electroosmotic (EO) pump is provided that includes a housing having a pump cavity, a porous core medium and electrodes. The porous core medium is positioned within the pump cavity to form an exterior reservoir that extends at least partially about an exterior surface of the porous core medium. The porous core medium has an open inner chamber provided therein. The inner chamber represents an interior reservoir. The electrodes are positioned in the inner chamber and are positioned proximate the exterior surface. The electrodes induce flow of a fluid through the porous core medium between the interior and exterior reservoirs, wherein a gas is generated when the electrodes induce flow of the fluid. The housing has a fluid inlet to convey the fluid to one of the interior reservoir and the exterior reservoir. The housing has a fluid outlet to discharge the fluid from another of the interior reservoir and the exterior reservoir. The housing has a gas removal device to remove the gas from the pump cavity.
