Cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptides, being typical acidic peptides, exhibit low response in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. In this study, matrix conditions and the effect of diammonium hydrogencitrate (DAHC) as additive were investigated for ionization of cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptides in MALDI. A matrix-free ionization method, desorption/ionization on porous silicon (DIOS), was also utilized to evaluate the effect of DAHC. When equimolar three-component mixtures of peptides carrying free cysteine, cysteine sulfonic acid, and carbamidomethyl cysteine were measured by MALDI using a common matrix, alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), no signal corresponding to cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptide could be observed in the mass spectrum. However, by addition of DAHC to CHCA, the peaks of cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptides were successfully observed, as well as when using 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP) and 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone with DAHC. In the DIOS mass spectra of these analytes, the use of DAHC also enhanced the peak intensity of the cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptides. On the basis of studies with these model peptides, tryptic digests of oxidized peroxiredoxin 6 were examined as a complex peptide mixture by MALDI and DIOS. In MALDI, the peaks of cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptides were observed when using THAP/DAHC as the matrix, but this was not so with CHCA. In DIOS, the signal from cysteine sulfonic acid-containing peptides was suppressed; however, the use of DAHC significantly enhanced the signal intensity with an increase in the number of observed peptides and increased signal-to-noise ratio in the DIOS spectra. The results show that DAHC in the matrix or on the DIOS chip decreases discrimination and suppression effects in addition to suppressing alkali-adduct ions, which leads to a beneficial effect on protonation of peptides containing cysteine sulfonic acid.  相似文献

So far, there have been only a few matrices reported for detection of polysaccharides with molecular weight higher than 3000 Daltons by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). In this work, we found that 2',4',6'-trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP) is a good matrix for MALDI time-of-flight MS analysis of polysaccharides with broad mass range. Large polysaccharides, dextrans, glycoproteins and polysialic acids have been successfully detected by MALDI-MS with THAP as matrix.  相似文献

Coupling immunoassays on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) provides improved assay selectivity compared with traditional photometric detection techniques. We show that thin-layer-transfer (TLT) of ??-cyano-4-hydroxycinnaminic acid (CHCA) MALDI matrix via vacuum sublimation followed by organic solvent-based vapor-sorption induced co-crystallization (VIC) results in unique matrix/analyte co-crystallization tendencies that optimizes assay reproducibility and sensitivity. Unique matrix crystal morphologies resulted from VIC solvent vapors, indicating nucleation and crystal growth characteristics depend upon VIC parameters. We observed that CHCA microcrystals generated by methanol VIC resulted in >10× better sensitivity, increased analyte charging, and improved precision compared with dried droplet measurements. The uniformity of matrix/analyte co-crystallization across planar immunoassays directed at intact proteins yielded low spectral variation for single shot replicates (18.5?% relative standard deviation, RSD) and signal averaged spectra (<10?% RSD). We envision that TLT and VIC for MALDI-TOF will enable high-throughput, reproducible array-based immunoassays for protein molecular diagnostic assays in diverse biochemical and clinical applications.  相似文献

We report here a negative ionization nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS) technique that simultaneously detects active components, terpenes and intact flavonol glycosides, and toxic ginkgolic acids in ginkgo products. Unlike the conventional methods that hydrolyze flavonol glycosides to flavonoids for analysis, this technique directly detects intact flavonol glycosides, enabling differentiation of these natural glycosides from the synthetic flavonoids. Thus, it allows the detection of fortification of ginkgo products, alleviating a common problem encountered by the conventional methods. Analysis of 14 commercial ginkgo products using this technique demonstrates large variations and deviation from the well-accepted standardized ginkgo extract. Four products showed evidence of fortification with synthetic surrogates. Two products were found to have toxic ginkgolic acids that exceed the 5 microg g(-1) limit by as much as 60000 fold. These results emphasize the importance of appropriate monitoring of ginkgo product quality.  相似文献

Unambiguous identification of mycotoxin‐producing fungal species as Fusarium is of great relevance to agriculture and the food‐producing industry as well as in medicine. Protein profiles of intact fungal spores, such as Penicillium, Aspergillus and Trichoderma, derived from matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) were shown to provide a rapid and straightforward method for species identification and characterization. In this study, we applied this approach to five different Fusarium spp. strains which are known to affect the growth of different grain plants. To obtain a suitable MALDI matrix system and sample preparation method, thin‐layer, dried‐droplet and sandwich methods and several MALDI matrices, namely CHCA, DHB, FA, SA and THAP dissolved in various solvent mixtures (organic solvents such as ACN, MeOH, EtOH and iPrOH and for the aqueous phase water and 0.1% TFA), were evaluated in terms of mass spectrometric pattern and signal intensities. The most significant peptide/protein profiles were obtained with 10 mg ferulic acid (FA) in 1 mL ACN/0.1% TFA (7:3, v/v) used as matrix system. Mixing the spores with the matrix solution directly on the MALDI target (dried‐droplet technique) resulted in an evenly distributed spores/matrix crystal layer, yielding highly reproducible peptide/protein profiles from the spore surfaces. Numerous abundant ions throughout the investigated m/z range (m/z 1500–15 000) could be detected. Differences in the obtained mass spectral patterns allowed the differentiation of spores of various Fusarium species. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

A second generation ionic liquid matrix (ILM), N,N‐diisopropylethylammonium α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxycinnamate (DEA‐CHCA), was developed for the characterization of polar biodegradable polymers. It is compared with five solid matrices typically used for the characterization of these polymers and one other new ILM. It is shown that use of the ILM, DEA‐CHCA, allows maximum signal with minimum laser intensity which minimizes polymer degradation. In these conditions, the DEA‐CHCA ILM is able to assist in the ionization of analytes in an efficient but soft manner. These qualities produce spectra that allow an accurate and sensitive determination of the number average molecular weights, weight average m.w., and polydispersity index of labile polar polymers. With such polymers, many solid matrices produce spectra showing extensive polymer degradation leading to the underestimation of molecular weights. The distribution of intact analyte peaks obtained with the ILM DEA‐CHCA allows for identification of the fine structure of complex copolymers. ILMs were much less susceptible to effects of extraction delay times on molecular weight determination than were solid matrices. The liquid nature of the matrix is an important reason for the outstanding results obtained for labile analyte polymers. No comparable results could be obtained with any known solid matrices or other ILMs. In many cases, the manufacturers' listed molecular weights and polydispersity measurements for biodegradable polymers are determined by size‐exclusion chromatography and the data obtained by that method may differ considerably from the high‐precision matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF‐MS) results presented here.

The performance of a matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) ionic liquid matrix (ILM) consisting of α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and aniline (ANI) was evaluated to assess whether it could offer possible advantages over conventional matrices. Ultraviolet (UV), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI‐MS) experiments were carried out with the aim of confirming the structure of the ANI‐CHCA ILM. Different model analytes such as amino acids, peptides, proteins, lipids, phospholipids, synthetic polymers, and sugars were tested. Mass spectra with similar or improved signal‐to‐noise (S/N) ratio (compared to CHCA) were invariably obtained demonstrating the potential of this ILM as a general purpose matrix. Furthermore, protein identification by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) and database search was facilitated compared to CHCA since higher scores and increased sequence coverage were observed. Finally, a complex lipid mixture (i.e. a raw extract of a milk sample) analysed by MALDI‐MS showed improved S/N ratio, a reduced chemical noise and a limited formation of matrix‐clusters.

In our continuing studies to isolate water-soluble vacuolar pigments, we expect to elucidate more structural details using mass spectrometry (MS). Because of its sensitivity, only a small amount of pigment extracted from natural plants is required for MS measurement. Nuclear magnetic resonance is also a useful spectroscopic method for structural determination. In this study, two soft ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), on time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers, were used to analyze five polyacylated anthocyanins with more than two aromatic acid molecules in the side chains. ESI is advantageous for the detection of individual molecular ions, while MALDI is essential for the detection of characteristic fragment ions originating from the anthocyanidin. Although 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) is an effective matrix in MALDI-TOFMS to obtain informative fragment ions of polyacylated anthocyanins, α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) is the preferred matrix for the identification of aglycones. In particular, in measurements of polyacylated anthocyanins with two acylated glycoside chains, fragment ions originating from anthocyanidin can only be observed in MALDI-TOFMS using CHCA as the matrix.  相似文献

High-sensitivity, high-throughput analysis of proteins for proteomics studies is usually performed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in combination with mass spectrometry. However, the quality of the data obtained depends on the in-gel digestion procedure employed. This work describes an improvement in the in-gel digestion efficiency for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) analysis. A dramatic improvement in the coverage of tryptic peptides was observed when n-octyl glucoside was added to the buffer. Whole cell extracted proteins from S. cerevisiae were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and stained with silver. Protein spots were identified using our improved in-gel digestion method and MALDI-TOFMS. In addition, the mass spectra obtained by using the matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) were compared with those obtained using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB). The DHB matrix usually gave more peaks, which led to higher sequence coverage and, consequently, to higher confidence in protein identification. This improved in-gel digestion protocol is simple and useful for protein identification by MALDI-TOFMS.  相似文献

A variety of surfactants have been tested as matrix-ion suppressors for the analysis of small molecules by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of flight mass spectrometry. Their addition to the common matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) greatly reduces the presence of matrix-related ions when added at the appropriate mole ratio of CHCA/surfactant, while still allowing the analyte signal to be observed. A range of cationic quaternary ammonium surfactants, as well as a neutral and anionic surfactant, was tested for the analysis of phenolics, phenolic acids, peptides and caffeine. It was found that the cationic surfactants, particularly cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), were suitable for the analysis of acidic analytes. The anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, showed promise for peptide analysis. For trialanine, the detection limit was observed to be in the 100 femtomole range. The final matrix/surfactant mole ratio was a critical parameter for matrix ion suppression and resulting intensity of analyte signal. It was also found that the mass resolution of analytes was improved by 25-75%. Depth profiling of sample spots, by varying the number of laser shots, revealed that the surfactants tend to migrate toward the top of the droplet during crystallization, and that it is likely that the analyte is also enriched in this surface region. Here, higher analyte/surfactant concentration would reduce matrix-matrix interactions (known to be a source of matrix-derived ions).  相似文献

The ionization of phosphorylated peptides is usually suppressed by non-phosphorylated peptides when alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) is used as a matrix for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry analysis. In the present study, we examined the effect of diammonium citrate addition to the CHCA matrix on the detection of phosphorylated peptides. Substrates for protein kinase C (PKC) and c-Src were synthesized and phosphorylated by reaction with cell and tissue lysate samples. The addition of diammonium citrate to the CHCA matrix increased the sensitivity for distinguishing phosphorylated peptides from background noise. However, the effect depended on substrate concentration.  相似文献

It has been described that ion yield in both positive- and negative-ion matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) of peptides is often inhibited by trace amounts of alkali metals and that the MALDI mass spectra are contaminated by the interfering peaks originating from traces of alkali metals, even when sample preparation is carefully performed. Addition of serine to the commonly used MALDI matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) significantly improved and enhanced the signals of both protonated and deprotonated peptides, [M+H](+) and [M-H](-). The addition of serine to CHCA matrix eliminated the alkali-metal ion adducts, [M+Na](+) and [M+K](+), and the CHCA cluster ions from the mass spectra. Serine and serinephosphate as additives to CHCA enhanced and improved the formation of molecular-related ions of phosphopeptides in negative-ion MALDI mass spectra.  相似文献

The reagent 4-sulfophenyl isothiocyanate (SPITC) is an effective, stable, and inexpensive alternative to commercially available reagents used in the N-terminal sulfonation of peptides for enhanced postsource decay (PSD) in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric (MALDI-TOFMS) analyses. However, suppression of ionization of sulfonated peptides due to sample and matrix contaminants such as sodium can be a problem when using prestructured MALDI target sample supports, such as the Bruker Daltonics AnchorChip. We show that use of the salt-tolerant matrix 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone containing diammonium citrate (THAP/DAC) as an alternative to alpha-cyanohydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA) reduces the need for extensive washing of ZipTip-bound peptides or additional on-target sample clean-up steps. Use of the THAP/DAC matrix results in selective ionization of sulfonated peptides with greater peptide coverage, as well as detection of higher mass derivatized peptides, than was observed for HCCA or THAP alone. The THAP/DAC matrix is quite tolerant of sodium contamination, with SPITC-peptides detectable in preparations containing up to 50 mM NaCl. In addition, THAP/DAC matrix was found to promote efficient PSD fragmentation of sulfonated peptides. We demonstrated the utility of using the THAP/DAC MALDI matrix for peptide sequencing with DNA polymerase beta tryptic peptide mixture, as well as tryptic peptides derived from Xiphophorus maculatus brain extract proteins previously separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE).  相似文献

A low molecular mass polyester was analyzed by desorption/ionization on porous silicon (DIOS) mass spectrometry. The results were compared with those of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry using matrixes of alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and 10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (F20TPP). The CHCA matrix was not suitable for characterization of low molecular mass components of the polyester because the matrix-related ions interfered with the component ions. On the other hand, the F20TPP matrix showed no interference because no matrix-related ions appeared below m/z 822. However, the solvent selection for determining optimal conditions of sample preparation was limited, because F20TPP does not dissolve readily in any of the available organic solvents. In the DIOS spectra, the polymer ions were observed at high sensitivity without a contaminating ion. No matrix is needed for DIOS spectra of low molecular mass polyesters, facilitating sample preparation and selectivity of a precursor ion in post-source decay measurements.  相似文献

3‐Aminoquinoline/α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid (3AQ/CHCA) is a liquid matrix (LM), which was reported by Kumar et al. in 1996 for matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. It is a viscous liquid and has some advantages of durability of ion generation by a self‐healing surface and quantitative performance. In this study, we found a novel aspect of 3AQ/CHCA as a MALDI matrix, which converges hydrophilic material into the center of the droplet of analyte‐3AQ/CHCA mixture on a MALDI sample target well during the process of evaporation of water derived from analyte solvent. This feature made it possible to separate not only the buffer components, but also the peptides and oligosaccharides from one another within 3AQ/CHCA. The MALDI imaging analyses of the analyte‐3AQ/CHCA droplet indicated that the oligosaccharides and the peptides were distributed in the center and in the whole area around the center of 3AQ/CHCA, respectively. This 'on‐target separation' effect was also applicable to glycoprotein digests such as ribonuclease B. These features of 3AQ/CHCA liquid matrix eliminate the requirement for pretreatment, and reduce sample handling losses thus resulting in the improvement of throughput and sensitivity.

PHY906 is a Chinese medicine formulation prepared from four medicinal herbs for adjuvant cancer chemotherapy. In this paper, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-TOFMS) was used to clarify the chemical composition of PHY906. The aqueous extract of PHY906 was separated on a Waters Atlantis C(18) column, and was eluted with acetonitrile/0.05% (v/v) formic acid. The separated compounds were identified with pure standards, or tentatively characterized by analyzing their mass spectra recorded in both negative and positive ion polarity modes. Further structural information was obtained from in-source fragmentation. Based on the LC/MS analysis, we proposed the structures for 64 bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, triterpene saponins, and monoterpene glycosides. All the compounds identified from PHY906 were further assigned in the four individual herbs, and some of them are reported for the first time.  相似文献

Electrospray ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-TOFMS) were used to identify and characterize eight C-21 steroidal glycosides in Hoodia gordonii. A generalized fragmentation pathway was proposed by comparing the spectra acquired for eight C-21 steroidal glycosides. The steroidal glycosides in Hoodia gordonii have been classified into two major core groups: hoodigenin A and calogenin. Using the ESI-TOF method, the major core peak ions generated by hoodigenin A glycosides are m/z 313 and 295 and by calogenin glycosides are m/z 479, 461, 299 and 281, respectively. In the MS/MS spectra, fragmentation reactions of the [M+Na](+) ion were recorded to provide structural information about the glycosyl and aglycone moieties. The data illustrates the ability of positive mode ESI for the identification of hoodigenin A and calogenin glycosides, including the nature of the hoodigenin A and calogenin core, the number of sugar residues and the type of saccharide moiety.  相似文献
