The glycomic profiling of purified glycoproteins and biological specimen is routinely achieved through different analytical methods, but mainly through MS and LC-MS. The enhanced ionization efficiency and improved tandem MS interpretation of permethylated glycans have prompted the popularity of this approach. This study focuses on comparing the glycomic profiling of permethylated N-glycans derived from model glycoproteins and human blood serum using MALDI-MS as well as RP-LC-MALDI-MS and RP-LC-ESI-MS. In the case of model glycoproteins, the glycomic profiles acquired using the three methods were very comparable. However, this was not completely true in the case of glycans derived from blood serum. RP-LC-ESI-MS analysis of reduced and permethylated N-glycans derived from 250 nl of blood serum allowed the confident detection of 73 glycans (the structures of which were confirmed by mass accuracy and tandem MS), while 53 and 43 structures were identified in the case of RP-LC-MALDI-MS and MALDI-MS analyses of the same sample, respectively. RP-LC-ESI-MS analysis facilitates automated and sensitive tandem MS acquisitions. The glycan structures that were detected only in the RP-LC-ESI-MS analysis were glycans existing at low abundances. This is suggesting the higher detection sensitivity of RP-LC-ESI-MS analysis, originating from both reduced competitive ionization and saturation of detectors, facilitated by the chromatographic separation. The latter also permitted the separation of several structural isomers; however, isomeric separations pertaining to linkages were not detected. 相似文献

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) has proved to be a useful method for the quantification of bile acids directly from plasma. Six cholic acid derivatives were selected for analysis: taurocholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid, taurolithocholic acid, glycocholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, and glycolithocholic acid. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns were used to preconcentrate and purify the plasma samples. Calibration curves averaged from 3 days were obtained for the bile acids, and then tested for their ability to accurately determine concentrations from one measurement. In summary, a simple, rapid method has been developed for the quantification of bile salts from plasma by MALDI-MS with SPE cleanup. 相似文献

A method using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) was developed for the structural elucidation of bupivacaine and metabolites in rat urine. Prior to CE-MS analysis, solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for sample cleanup and preconcentration purposes. Exact mass and tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) experiments were performed to obtain structural information about the unknown metabolites. Two instruments with different mass analyzers were used for mass spectrometric detection. A quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) and a magnetic sector hybrid instrument were coupled to CE and used for the analysis of urine extracts. Hydroxybupivacaine as well as five other isomerically different metabolites were detected including methoxylated bupivacaine. 相似文献

Application of a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction and cleanup procedure for LC/MS determination of thiabendazole and carbendazim in apple juice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Recently, a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure was developed for rapid extraction and cleanup for determination of the fungicides thiabendazole and carbendazim in various fruit juices. This paper reports the application of that sample preparation procedure to the liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric determination of these fungicides in apple juice with detection by positive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). Response was linear for sample concentrations from 2 to 500 microg/L (ppb). Recoveries averaged 74% (9% RSD) for carbendazim and 93% (9% RSD) for thiabendazole. After SPE cleanup, no matrix supression was observed for the ESI+ response for either compound studied. The method was applied to the analysis of incurred residues in 4 store-bought apple juices; carbendazim levels ranged from 10 to 70 microg/L and thiabendazole levels ranged from less than 2 to 130 microg/L. 相似文献

A new method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) on-line with a solid-phase extraction (SPE) cleanup process followed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is presented for the determination of 3 macrocyclic lactone mycotoxins in fish tissues: zearalenone, alpha-zearalenol, and beta-zearalenol. The sample was prepared in a device that used a reversed-phase material (C18) or a normal-phase material (neutral alumina) as a matrix dispersing agent, and a graphitized carbon black cartridge was used for sequential cleanup by SPE. LC/MS/MS was used for selective determination. Isocratic elution with acetonitrile-methanol-water was used for LC separation; for MS/MS, 2 types of interfaces (a pneumatically assisted electrospray ionization interface or an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization interface) were evaluated and compared in terms of the intensity of the total ion current produced by each analyte. The use of highly selective MSPD on-line with SPE for sample preparation before analysis allowed the removal of interfering matrix compounds present in tissue extracts that would otherwise cause severe ionization suppression of zearalenone and its metabolites during the ionization process. Average recoveries at 100 ng/g were between 83 and 103% with C18 and > or = 67% with neutral alumina; the relative standard deviations were < 11% with C18 and < 18% with alumina. The limits of detection ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 ng/g. Sample preparation is simple to perform, no special technical equipment is required, and solvent volumes are minimal. 相似文献

Defining the structures and locations of the glycans attached on secreted proteins and virus envelope proteins is important in understanding how glycosylation affects their biological properties. Glycopeptide mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis is a very powerful, emerging approach to characterize glycoproteins, in which glycosylation sites and the corresponding glycan structures are elucidated in a single MS experiment. However, to date there is not a consensus regarding which mass spectrometric platform provides the best glycosylation coverage information. Herein, we employ two of the most widely used MS approaches, online high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS) and offline HPLC followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), to determine which of the two approaches provides the best glycosylation coverage information of a complex glycoprotein, the group M consensus HIV-1 envelope, CON-S gp140DeltaCFI, which has 31 potential glycosylation sites. Our results highlight differences in the informational content obtained between the two methods such as the overall number of glycosylation sites detected, the numbers of N-linked glycans present at each site, and the type of confirmatory information obtained about the glycopeptide using MS/MS experiments. The two approaches are quite complementary, both in their coverage of glycopeptides and in the information they provide in MS/MS experiments. The information in this study contributes to the field of mass spectrometry by demonstrating the strengths and limitations of two widely used MS platforms in glycoprotein analysis. 相似文献

Structural characterization of sulfated glycans through mass spectrometry (MS) has been often limited by their low abundance
in biological materials and inefficient ionization in the positive-ion mode. Here, we describe a microscale method for sequentially
enriching sulfated glycans according to their degree of sulfation. This method is based on modifying the binding ability of
strong anion-exchange material through the use of different sodium acetate concentrations, thus enabling fairly selective
binding and a subsequent elution of different glycans according to their degree of sulfation. Before this enrichment, the
negative charge on the sialic acid, which is commonly associated with such glycans, was eliminated through permethylation
that is used to enhance the positive-ion mode matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(MALDI-MS) signal for all glycans. This enrichment approach minimizes competitive ionization between sulfated and neutral
glycans, as well as that between sulfated species with a different degree of sulfation. The described method was initially
optimized using sulfated oligosaccharide standards, while its potential has been verified for the sulfated N-glycans originated
from the bovine thyroid-stimulating hormone (bTSH), a glycoprotein possessing mono- and disulfated N-glycans. This enhancement
of the MALDI-MS signal facilitates analysis of some otherwise undetected components. 相似文献

Benzo[a]pyrene (BP) is a ubiquitous environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) which, upon metabolic conversion to reactive benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), has been found to attach covalently to DNA. Given the low level of DNA adducts typically present in vivo or in vitro, an essential first step prior to capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) (or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS)) analysis of the DNA digests is the removal of the bulk non-adducted nucleotides, enzymes or salts, and isolation of enriched adducts. This report focuses on the development of novel sample handling methods aimed at facilitating the analysis of BPDE-DNA adducts by CE/MS. This approach involves a simple variation on the digestion procedure, in combination with the use of metal affinity ZipTips for the more efficient cleanup of BPDE-DNA adducts formed in vitro for subsequent CE/MS analysis. The previously described digestion procedure, consisting of micrococcal nuclease, spleen phosphodiesterase and nuclease P1, allows for selective dephosphorylation of normal nucleotides, while leaving adducted nucleotides intact. Metal affinity ZipTips, typically used for selective extraction of phosphopeptides, were used here for extraction of adducted nucleotides. The utility of metal affinity SPE was tested on mixtures of dG and dGp, wherein nucleotide extracts contained no detectable nucleosides by CE/UV analysis. An in vitro BPDE-DNA incubation was then digested using the above procedure. Metal affinity solid-phase extraction (SPE) was subsequently used for the selective isolation of phosphorylated components, i.e., adducted nucleotides, from the mixture of enzymes and non-adducted nucleosides. SPE extracts were enriched in nucleotide adducts and analyzed using sample stacking and CE/MS. This method has several advantages over previously described cleanup procedures for dGp-BPDE adducts: fast, simple, uses commercially available materials, no need for excessive dilution (small scale), the suitability for use with automation, and possible applicability to other bulky hydrophobic adducts. 相似文献

Capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry for the analysis of negatively charged derivatized and underivatized glycans. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The increasing interest in the development of glycoproteins for therapeutic purposes has created a greater demand for methods to characterize the sugar moieties bound to them. Traditionally, released carbohydrates are derivatized using such methods as permethylation or fluorescent tagging prior to analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), or direct infusion mass spectrometry. However, little research has been performed using CE with on-line mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The CE separation of neutral oligosaccharides requires the covalent attachment of a charged species for electrophoretic migration. Among charged labels which have shown promise in assisting CE and HPLC separation is the fluorophore 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (ANTS). This report describes the qualitative profiling of charged ANTS-derivatized and underivatized complex glycans by CE with on-line electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry. Several neutral standard glycans including a maltooligosaccharide ladder were derivatized with ANTS and subjected to CE/UV and CE/MS using low pH buffers consisting of citric and 6-aminocaproic acid salts. The ANTS-derivatized species were detected as negative ions, and multiple stage MS analysis provided valuable structural information. Fragment ions were easily identified, showing promise for the identification of unknowns. N-Linked glycans released from bovine fetuin were used to demonstrate the applicability of ANTS derivatization followed by CE/MS for the analysis of negatively charged glycans. Analyses were performed on both underivatized and ANTS-derivatized species, and sialylated glycans were separated and detected in both forms. The ability of the ion trap mass spectrometer to perform multiple stage analysis was exploited, with MS5 information obtained on selected glycans. This technique presents a complementary method to existing methodologies for the profiling of glycan mixtures. 相似文献

Analysis of commercial samples of chicken ovalbumin by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) showed the presence of several other co-purifying glycoproteins. These were isolated, subjected to tryptic digestion, and two of them were identified as ovomucoid and chicken riboflavin binding-protein following database matching of the peptide masses obtained by MALDI. The N-linked glycans were released from the glycoproteins and their structures were examined by MALDI-MS in combination with exoglycosidase digestion. Ovalbumin was found to be glycosylated mainly with high-mannose and hybrid structures, consistent with profiles obtained on the intact glycoprotein by electrospray. The other glycoproteins contained mainly larger, complex glycans with up to five antennae, many of which had earlier been associated with ovalbumin. 相似文献

Official guidelines originating from a European Union directive regulate requirements for analytical methods used to identify chemical compounds in biological matrices. This study compared different liquid chromatography/electropray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐MS/MS) procedures for accurate determination of the conjugated ethanol metabolite and alcohol biomarker ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in urine, and the value of combined EtG and ethyl sulfate (EtS) measurement. Analysis was carried out on 482 urines following solid‐phase extraction (SPE) sample cleanup or using direct injection of a diluted sample. SPE combined with LC/MS/MS was demonstrated to be the most selective and sensitive method and was chosen as reference method. The EtG results by different methods showed good correlation (r = 0.96–0.98). When comparing five reporting limits for EtG in the range 0.10–1.00 mg/L, the overall agreement with the reference method (frequency of true positives plus true negatives) was 82–97% for direct‐injection LC/MS/MS, 90–97% for SPE‐LC/MS, 86–98% for direct‐injection LC/MS, and 86–98% for direct‐injection LC/MS analysis of EtG and EtS. Most deviations were attributable to uncertainty in quantitation, when the value was close to a cutoff but the respective results were slightly above and below, or vice versa, the critical limit. However, for direct‐injection LC/MS/MS, despite earning 4 identification points, equally many negative results were due to a product ion ratio outside the ±20% deviation accepted by the guidelines. These results indicate that the likelihood of different analytical methods to provide reliable analytical results depends on the reporting limit applied. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Glycans are oligosaccharides associated with proteins, and are known to confer specific functions and conformations on glycoproteins. As protein tridimensional structures are related to function, the study of glycans and their impact on protein folding can provide important information to the field of proteomics. The subdiscipline of glycomics (or glycoproteomics) is rapidly growing in importance as glycans in proteins have shown to be involved in protein-protein or protein-(drug, virus, antibody) interactions. Glycomics studies most often aim at identifying glycosylation sites, and thus are performed on deglycosylated proteins resulting in loss of site-specific details concerning the glycosylation. In order to obtain such details by mass spectrometry (MS), either whole glycoproteins must be digested and analyzed as mixtures of peptides and glycopeptides, or glycans must be isolated from glycopeptide fractions and analyzed as pools. This article describes parallel experiments involving both approaches, designed to take advantage of the StrOligo algorithm functionalities with the aim of characterizing glycosylation microheterogeneity on a specific site. A hybrid quadrupole-quadrupole-time-of-flight (QqTOF) instrument equipped with a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) source was used. Glycosylation of alpha 5 beta 1 subunits of human integrin was studied to test the methodology. The sample was divided in two aliquots, and glycans from the first aliquot were released enzymatically, labelled with 2-aminobenzamide, and identified using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and the StrOligo program. The other aliquot was digested with trypsin and the resulting peptides separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A specific collected fraction was then analyzed by MS before and after glycan release. These spectra allowed, by comparison, detection of a glycopeptide (several glycoforms) and elucidation of peptide sequence. Compositions of glycans present were proposed, and identification of possible glycan structures was conducted using MS/MS and StrOligo. 相似文献

An analytical method was developed for the determination in urine of 2 metabolites of diazinon: 6-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4(1H)-pyrimidinone (G-27550) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-6-methyl-4(1H)-pyrimidinone (GS-31144). Two of the urine sample preparation procedures presented rely on gas chromatography/mass selective detection (GC/MSD) in the selected ion monitoring mode for determination of G-27550. For fast sample preparation and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 1.0 ppb, urine samples were purified by using ENV+ solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns. For analyte confirmation at an LOQ of 0.50 ppb, classical liquid/liquid partitioning was used before further purification in a silica SPE column. An SPE sample preparation procedure and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/ESI/MS/MS) were used for both G-27550 and GS-31144. The limit of detection was 0.01 ng for G-27550 with GC/MSD, and 0.016 ng when LC/ESI/MS/MS was used for both G-27550 and GS-31144. The LOQ was 0.50 ppb for G-27550 when GC/MSD and the partitioning/SPE sample preparation procedure were used, and 1.0 ppb for the SPE only sample preparation procedure. The LOQ was 1.0 ppb for both analytes when LC/ESI/MS/MS was used. 相似文献

A common procedure for identifying N-linked glycosylation sites involves tryptic digestion of the glycoprotein, followed by the conversion of glycosylated asparagine residues into (18)O-labeled aspartic acids by PNGase F digestion in (18)O water. The 3 Da mass tag created by this process is readily observable by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis, and is often used to identify the sites of N-linked glycosylation. While using this procedure, we noticed that 60% of the asparagines identified as being glycosylated were not part of the consensus sequence required for N-linked glycosylation, and thus were not biologically possible. Investigation into the source of this unacceptably high false positive rate demonstrated that even after reversed-phase cleanup and heat denaturation, the trypsin used for proteolysis was still active and led to the incorporation of (18)O into the C-termini of the peptides during the deglycosylation step. The resulting mass shift accounted for most of the false positive sites, as the database search algorithm confused it with an (18)O-labeled Asp residue near the C-terminus of a peptide. This problem can be overcome by eliminating trypsin from the solution prior to performing the deglycosylation process, by resuspending the peptides in natural abundance water following deglycosylation, or by allowing (18)O incorporation into the C-terminus as a variable modification during the database search. These methods have been demonstrated on a model protein, and are applicable to the analyses of glycoproteins that are digested with trypsin or another serine protease prior to enzymatic release of the carbohydrate side chains. This study should alert investigators in the field to this potential and unexpected pitfall and provide strategies to overcome this phenomenon. 相似文献

To address immunocapture of proteins in large cohorts of clinical samples high throughput sample processing is required. Here a method using the proteomic sample platform, ISET (integrated selective enrichment target) that integrates highly specific immunoaffinity capture of protein biomarker, digestion and sample cleanup with a direct interface to mass spectrometry is presented. The robustness of the on-ISET protein digestion protocol was validated by MALDI MS analysis of model proteins, ranging from 40 fmol to 1 pmol per nanovial. On-ISET digestion and MALDI MS/MS analysis of immunoaffinity captured disease-associated biomarker PSA (prostate specific antigen) from human seminal plasma are presented. 相似文献

Hog or porcine gastric mucin resembles the human source in carrying not only blood group antigens but also the rather rare α4-GlcNAc-capped terminal epitope functionally implicated in protection against Helicobacter pylori infection. Being more readily available and reasonably well characterized, it serves as a good reagent for immunobiological studies, as well as a standard for analytical methodology developments. Current approaches in mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycomic mapping remain vastly inadequate in revealing the full complexity of glycosylation, particularly for cases such as the extremely heterogeneous O-glycosylation of mucosal mucins that can be further sulfated. We demonstrate here a novel concerted workflow that extends the conventional matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) mapping of permethylated glycans in positive ion mode to include a further step of sulfoglycomic analysis in negative ion mode. This was facilitated by introducing a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction step, which allows direct cleanup and simultaneous fractionation of the permethylated glycans into separate non-sulfated and sulfated pools in one single step. By distinct MALDI-MS/MS fragmentation patterns, all previously known structural features of porcine gastric mucin including the terminal epitopes and location of sulfates could be readily defined. We additionally showed that both arms of the core 2 structures could be extended via 6-O-sulfated GlcNAc to yield a series of disulfated O-glycans not previously reported, thus expanding its current glycomic coverage. However, a targeted LC-MSn analysis was required and best suited to dig even deeper into validating the occurrence of very minor structural isomers carrying the Lewis Y epitope implicated by positive antibody binding. 相似文献

A rapid, highly specific and sensitive isotope-dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method coupled with an on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) system was developed to measure N7-methylguanine (N7-MeG) in urine. 15N5-Labeled N7-MeG was synthesized to serve as an internal standard, and an on-line SPE cartridge was used for on-line sample cleanup and enrichment. The urine sample can be directly analyzed within 15 min without prior sample purification. The detection limit for this method was estimated as 8.0 pg/mL (4.8 pmol) on-column. This method was further applied to study exposure to methylating agents arising from cigarette smoke. Sixty-seven volunteers were recruited, including 32 regular smokers and 35 nonsmokers. Urinary cotinine, a major metabolite of nicotine, was also determined using an isotope-dilution LC/MS/MS method. The results showed that urinary levels of N7-MeG observed in smokers (4215 +/- 1739 ng/mg creatinine) were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than those in nonsmokers (3035 +/- 720 ng/mg creatinine). It was further noted that the urinary level of N7-MeG was found to be correlated with that of cotinine for smokers, implying that cigarette smoking resulted in increased DNA methylation, followed by depurination and excretion of N7-MeG in urine. As a result of the on-line extraction system, this method is capable of routine high-throughput analysis and accurate quantitation of N7-MeG, and could be a useful tool for health surveillance of methylating agent exposure. 相似文献

Glycoprotein function is controlled by several biological factors, one of them being the structure of carbohydrate chains (glycans) attached to specific amino acids of the protein backbone. Changes in glycan structures have been shown to modify the secondary and tertiary conformation of glycoproteins, thus their function. Powerful analytical tools are available for the characterization of sugar structures, and recently mass spectrometry (MS) has been increasingly useful for this purpose. Manual interpretation of tandem mass spectrum is possible but tedious. Automated interpretation should speed the analysis and enhance the results obtained. A new computer program for automated interpretation of tandem MS spectra of complex N-linked glycans oligosaccharides from mammals will be described. N-Linked oligosaccharides standards were derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-tandem MS. Simulated tandem mass spectra of other common glycans were also generated to test the algorithm. The MALDI-MS/MS spectra featured resolved isotopic distributions for the [M + H](+) and fragment ions of oligosaccharides. These isotopic distributions complicated the automated analysis of the spectra and were removed to leave only monoisotopic peaks. An algorithm was written for this purpose, yielding simplified tandem mass spectra. Another algorithm is then used to determine the structure of the oligosaccharide. A score is then given to each structure, depending on agreement with experimental results. The program successfully assigned the true structure in 24 out of the 28 cases (86%) and the true structure was among the three top scoring structures in all cases. 相似文献

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) able to selectively bind triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC), commonly used antibacterial agents in many consumer products, was prepared using noncovalent molecular imprinting methods. The prepared MIP was evaluated as a selective sorbent in SPE for sample cleanup before HPLC-UV analysis of TCS and TCC in soil and biosolid samples. The MIP was also compared with commercially available C18 SPE sorbent. The molecularly imprinted SPE (MISPE) developed in this study was more efficient than C18 SPE for the cleanup of extracts of soil and biosolid samples prior to the analysis of TCC and TCS using HPLC-UV. The LOQ values for both TCC and TCS in the soil samples were determined to be 40 microg/kg; in the biosolid samples, the LOQ values were 100 and 300 microg/kg for TCC and TCS, respectively. Compared to C18 SPE, using MISPE for sample cleanup may result in a significant reduction of analytical cost, because one MIP can be reused up to 35 times and HPLC-UV instead of HPLC/MS can be used for instrumental analysis following sample cleanup by MISPE. 相似文献

Microbial cultures produce complex and potentially interesting mixtures of biosynthetic intermediates and derivatives of metabolites. These mixtures' reliable identification is important and so too is the development of techniques for their analysis. Here, a simple and highly selective method of detecting the biosynthetic congeners involved in the pentangular polyphenol pradimicin (PR) pathway from Actinomadura hibisca fermentation was developed. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) cleanup using an OASIS HLB cartridge was a simple and reliable tool for the extraction of PRs from a fermentation broth. The separation of each natural PR analog--eluted with a gradient system of aqueous acetonitrile through a reversed-phase C(18) column containing ammonium acetate and acetic acid as additives--allowed their simultaneous profiling. The combined use of SPE cleanup and chromatographic separation, coupled with electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) detection was demonstrated to be sufficiently accurate and reliable to analyze the natural PR analogs produced from A. hibisca. Ten natural PRs were identified: four alanine-containing (PRA, PRC, PRL, and PRB), two glycine-substituted (PRD and PRE), and four serine-substituted (PRFA-1, PRFA-2, PRFL, and PRFB). This report demonstrates the first use of both SPE cleanup and HPLC-ESI-MS/MS to profile a wide range of structurally closely related PRs in a bacterial fermentation broth. 相似文献
