摘要:
Disclosed are an apparatus for the identification of a ribonucleic acid, whereby not only the molecular weights of digestion products, from which nothing but the nucleic acid residue composition can be understood, but also nucleic acid residue sequence data is obtained from a product ion mass set and thus the identification reliability for the individual digestion products can be remarkably improved; a method for the identification of a ribonucleic acid; and a program and system for the identification of a ribonucleic acid. The method as described above comprises: searching for nucleic acid sequence database by using a fragment mass set indicating the molecular weights and inner structural data of individual oligonucleotides that are obtained by tandem mass spectrometry on digested oligonucleotides formed by chemically or enzymatically cleaving a ribonucleic acid; scoring candidate sequences; among candidate sequences showing the highest scores, referring those showing scores exceeding the threshold as identified sequences; and using these identified sequences in mapping on nucleic acid sequence database including genomic sequences.

Nano-electrospray ionization techniques include the introduction of a separation solvent containing a sample to a column-integrated needle having a column filled with a resin for liquid chromatography. The separated sample components are sprayed from the tip of the column-integrated needle toward a sample introduction orifice of a mass spectrometer. An organic solvent is simultaneously introduced to a solvent-supplying needle. The organic solvent is supplied from the tip of the solvent-supplying needle to the tip of the column-integrated needle.

A method for analyzing proteins according to which two types of samples containing proteins are compared using a mass spectrometer, so that the proteins which are included in respective samples are identified and the mass ratio of a protein of the same type that is included in the respective samples is analyzed, wherein the method for analyzing proteins is characterized by including the steps of:respectively digestting said two types of samples containing proteins at portions of a certain amino acid using a restriction enzyme so as to prepare samples containing peptides;modifying peptides which are included in said respective samples containing peptides with labeling compounds having different masses due to isotopes, so that peptides of the same type that are included in the respective samples containing peptides have different masses;mixing the samples containing peptides that have been respectively labeled with isotopes, separating and quantifying the mixed sample for each peptide and measuring the MS spectrum, and finding the content ratio of peptides of the same type having different masses due to isotope labeling;selecting a peptide of which the amino acid sequence should be identified from among the peptides in reference to said MS spectrum and qualitatively analyzing the amino acid sequence of selected peptide from the mass spectrum of the product ions which are generated from the peptide;identifying a corresponding protein from known-DNA sequences on the basis of the amino acid sequence of said peptide; andfinding the ratio of the content of said identified protein included in said samples containing respective proteins on the basis of the value obtained from separation quantification using the difference in the mass of said peptides that have been modified with isotopes.
