摘要:
A mass spectrometer system including a device for supplying a protonated ion species; a single chamber having an entrance and an exit slit, the chamber receiving the supplied protonated ion and transmitting a reprotonated ion through the exit slit; a device for supplying a predetermined reagent gas within the chamber; a device for supplying an electron beam in said chamber such that the electron beam reacts with the supplied predetermined reagent gas to provide neutral reagent gas and protonated reagent gas within the chamber, the supplied ion species reacting with the neutral reagent gas to neutralize the ion species, thereby providing neutral species within the chamber, the neutral species reacting with the protonated reagent gas to provide reionized species within the chamber; and a device, coupled to the exit slit of the chamber, for extracting the reionized species.

Organisms such as bacterial spores are analyzed and/or characterized based on based on peptide fragments of a set of selectively solublizede proteins. Libraries of protein and gene sequences may be utilized for comparison to and identification of proteins and unknown organisms.
摘要:
In a method of enzyme-catalyzed isotope labeling of peptides, peptides are formed from proteins digested by proteolyic enzymes selected from trypsin, chymotrypsin, Lys-C endoprotease, Glu-C endoprotease, an endoprotease that cleaves at the C-terminal side of an amino acid residue on a protein, or a mixture of two or more of these proteolytic enzymes. Thereafter isotopic atoms are incorporated into the peptides in the catalytic presence of proteolyic enzymes selected from trypsin, chymotrypsin, Lys-C endoprotease, Glu-C endoprotease, an endoprotease that cleaves at the C-terminal side of an amino acid residue on a protein, or a mixture of two or more of these proteolytic enzymes.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of using a liquid matrix containing a black body light absorbing powder to facilitate the analysis of biomarkers from representative microorganisms by laser desorption mass spectrometry. Both an IR laser (1064 nm) and a UV laser (337 nm) were shown to be compatible and both time-of-flight and Fourier-transform mass analyzer were used. In the present implementation gram negative and gram positive bacteria were suspended in a methanol:chloroform solution and added to a cobalt/glycerol matrix, S/N, sensitivity and sampling time are greatly enhanced for polar lipid biomarkers.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method of direct detecting of capsid proteins from intact viral particles using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry, which enables viral proteins to be characterized at the femtomolar level in complex biological milieu with minimal or no cleanup.
