摘要:
The present invention provides a method which is capable of mainly detecting the objective substance by mass spectrometry and can also be applied effectively to a sample to be measured without conducting enrichment process. A mass spectrometric method comprising: in a mass spectrometry specifically ionizing a specific substance to be measured contained in a mixture sample containing the specific substance and a substance other than the specific substance by using a matrix that is more likely to ionize the specific substance than the substance other than the specific substance, to selectively measure the specific substance from the mixture. Preferably, the specific substance is a peptide modified with 2-nitrobenzenesulfenyl chloride, and the matrix is a nitrobenzene derivative such as hydroxynitrobenzoic acid. The matrix is preferably used in combination with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method capable of efficiently ionizing hydrophobic peptides in MALDI-IT, MALDI-IT-TOF, and MALDI-FTICR mass spectrometers. A method of measuring a peptide with a mass spectrometer having a MALDI (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) ion source, using α-cyano-3-hydroxycinnamic acid or 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid as a matrix. Preferably, a peptide derivatized with 2-nitrobenzenesulfenyl chloride is measured with a MALDI-IT, MALDI-IT-TOF, or MALDI-FTICR mass spectrometer. When 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid is used as a matrix, the matrix is preferably used as a mixed matrix in which α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid is combined.
