Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is used as an alternative method for the rapid diagnosis of albuminuria. This technique requires no further sample pretreatment than simply mixing the urine sample with a MALDI matrix and drying under ambient conditions. The resulting MALDI mass spectra reveal albumin ions having charges ranging from +1 to +5. The detection of albumin is possible using any of the three most common MALDI matrices - sinapinic acid (SA), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB), or 4-hydroxy-alpha-cyanocinnamic acid (alpha-CHC). Using this analytical approach, the limit of detection for albumin in urine is 10(-6) M, approximately 5 to 10 times lower than that detectable through conventional chemical testing. 相似文献

The use of ionic liquid matrices (ILMs) for phospholipids (PLs) affords higher signal intensity, smaller spot size, improved spot homogeneity, better signal reproducibility, and comparable or better detection limits compared to that of the crystalline matrix 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB). The ionization products are comparable to those with 2,5-DHB although the use of ILMs gives a stronger tendency to produce alkali-metal-ion adducts and a lower extent of prompt fragmentation. 相似文献

The changes in the ion signals in the isotope cluster, mass resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and mass accuracy for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) of DNA oligonucleotides (dGGATC, dCAGCt, and dAACCGTT) and their fragment ions were evaluated, and these data were compared with those obtained using 3-hydroxypicolinic acid. Mass spectra obtained by using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB) appear to have differences from the theoretical isotopic clusters, which arise by reductive hydrogenation producing a second peak at the M + 2 isotope of the native oligonucleotide. Based on the patterns of the isotopic envelope observed in the in-source decay fragments, we propose that cytosine is the site of reduction. We do not find evidence of reduction of oligonucleotides, viz. dTGGGGTT, that do not contain cytosine; however, 2'-deoxycytidine and 2'-deoxycytidine-5'-monophosphate undergo reductive hydrogenation. Several experiments were carried out in an effort to determine whether the reductive hydrogenation occurs during sample preparation or as a result of laser irradiation. The results of these experiments suggest that it occurs during sample preparation. The relative intensities of ion signals corresponding to the reduced base can be altered by using different matrix additives (aminonaphthalenes) or a different substrate (copper). Also, the oxidized form of 2,5-DHB is trapped by reaction with the side chain of cysteine in glutathione, providing evidence that the reaction occurs in solution as the matrix crystallizes. 相似文献

The key step in high quality microbial matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (microbial MALDI MSI) is the fabrication of a homogeneous matrix coating showing a fine-grained morphology. This application note addresses a novel method to apply solid MALDI matrices onto microbial cultures grown on thin agar media. A suspension of a mixture of 2,5-DHB and α-CHCA is sprayed onto the agar sample surface to form highly homogeneous matrix coatings. As a result, the signal intensities of metabolites secreted by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus were found to be clearly enhanced. Figure

The mechanism of matrix-to-analyte proton transfer in matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has been investigated computationally by modeling the matrix-analyte interaction of potential MALDI matrixes such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB) and 3,5-DHB with the tripeptide valine-proline-leucine (VPL). A combination of molecular dynamics/simulated annealing calculations followed by density functional theory geometry optimization using a reasonably large basis set has been done on a large number of clusters in an attempt to study the ionization energy of each matrix in the cluster environment and the intracluster proton transfer from the matrix to the tripeptide. The calculations show a substantial reduction in the IP for both matrixes in their cluster environments. In the 2,5-system, proton transfer can sometimes occur in the neutral clusters (preformed ions), whereas proton transfer in the cationic clusters, which is actually a double proton transfer, is spontaneous and exoergic. Even though it is more acidic from a thermodynamic perspective, the radical cation of 3,5-DHB is a less efficient proton donor to VPL. The thermodynamics of proton transfer in the cationic clusters is discussed in detail. 相似文献

This study demonstrates the application of 2,5-dihydrohybenzoic acid/aniline (DHB/An) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid/N,N-dimethylaniline (DHB/DMA) matrices for automated identification and quantitative analysis of native oligosaccharides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Both matrices are shown to be superior to pure DHB for native glycans in terms of signal intensities of analytes and homogeneity of sample distribution throughout the crystal layer. On-target formation of stable aniline Schiff base derivatives of glycans in DHB/An and the complete absence of such products in the mass spectra acquired in DHB/DMA matrix provide a platform for automated identification of reducing oligosaccharides in the MALDI mass spectra of complex samples. The study also shows how enhanced sensitivity is achieved with the use of these matrices and how the homogeneity of deposited sample material may be exploited for quick and accurate quantitative analysis of native glycan mixtures containing neutral and sialylated oligosaccharides in the low-nanogram to mid-picogram range. 相似文献

Delayed extraction experiments were undertaken to gain a better insight into the dynamic effects involved in the ion formation in UV matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. Part I1 was devoted to a 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic (2,5-DHB) matrix. The results clearly demonstrated the existence and the role of high-mass precursors corresponding to a non-covalent matrix-analyte association in ion formation. In this complementary study, ion flight time and abundance were studied as a function of the delay extraction time using the matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA). Under our instrumental conditions, where ejected ions experienced a low repulsing electric field before extraction, two main results were obtained: (i) two ion components are observed in the peak profiles depending on the repulsing field, a first, major component (I) similar to that observed for 2,5-DHB and a second, minor component (II) apparently triggered by the delayed extraction pulse, and (ii) ion time-of-flight variation vs delay time remained lower than that noted with 2,5-DHB matrix, indicating that the initial axial velocity is smaller. The initial kinetic energy of matrix and low molecular mass peptide ions for the component I is not high enough to overcome the repulsing potential in the delay time range (200-2200 ns) and we have to assume that ions have non-covalent clusters as precursors. Complete desolvation of these clusters-aggregates would be achieved through the extraction step. Simulations of the ion time-of-flight as a function of the delay time allow the determination of the average size of the precursors, typically 4500, 40000 and 50000 u for HCCA, ACTH 7-38 and bovine insulin quasi-molecular ion, respectively, assuming that the precursors are singly charged. The size of these ion precursors is greater than that of those generated for 2,5-DHB. For component II, ions are probably not solvated and they are directly desorbed from the target. Taking into account the results on HCCA and 2,5-DHB matrices and other results from the literature, a general model for ion formation based on clusters as ion precursors is proposed and discussed. 相似文献

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been studied as a potential solid-state matrix for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
(LDI-MS) but the efficiency in ionization remains low. In this report, AuNPs are capped by a self-assembled monolayer of cysteamine
and modified with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnanic acid (CHCA) for effective MALDI measurements. CHCA-terminated AuNPs offer marked
improvement on peptide ionization compared with citrate-capped or cysteamine-capped AuNPs. The coating also effectively suppresses
formation of Au cluster ions and analyte fragment ions, leading to cleaner mass spectra. Addition of glycerol and citric acid
to the peptide/AuNPs sample further improves the performance of these AuNPs for LDI-MS analysis. Glycerol appears to enhance
the dispersion of AuNPs in sample spots, increasing the sample ionization and shot-to-shot reproducibility, while citric acid
serves as an external proton donor, providing high production of protonated analyte ions and reducing fragmentation of peptides
on the nanoparticle-based surface. Optimal ratios of citric acid, glycerol, and AuNPs in sample solution have been systematically
studied. A more than 10-fold increase for desorption ionization of peptides can be achieved by combining 5% glycerol and 20
mM citric acid with the CHCA-terminated AuNPs. The applicability of the CHCA-AuNPs for LDI-MS analysis of protein digests
has also been demonstrated. This work shows the potential of AuNPs for SALDI-MS analysis, and the improvement with chemical
functionalization, controlled dispersion, and use of an effective proton donor. 相似文献

The ionization of nucleosides in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was systematically investigated using adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C) with several common matrices. Experimental results of the protonation and deprotonation of the bases of A, T, G and C in the matrices 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB), alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (alpha-CHCA) and 3-hydroxypicolinic acid (3-HPA) provide an insight into the ionization mechanism of oligonucleotides in MALDI. It was found that the low ion signal from DNA in poly-G in MALDI as reported in earlier work could be attributed to the fact that the base of G is difficult to ionize. Our results suggest that the ionization of DNA in MALDI is dominated by the protonation and deprotonation of bases and it is basically independent of the backbone of DNA. Both the protonation and deprotonation are strongly structure dependent. The protonation is dominated by pre-protonation before laser ablation, while the deprotonation is controlled by the thermal reaction. 相似文献

The thermochemical acid/base properties of the six dihydroxybenzoic acids (x,y-DHB) as prototypical matrices used in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) have been investigated. The ground-state gas-phase basicities (GB) of the six DHB isomers and the gas-phase acidities (deltaG acid) of the corresponding radical cations ([x,y-DHB]*+) have been determined by Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry employing the thermokinetic method. The gas-phase basicities vary from 814 kJ mol-1 for the least basic isomer, 3,5-DHB, to 831 kJ mol-1 for the most basic isomer, 2,4-DHB. The obtained gas-phase acidities of the corresponding radical cations vary from 815 kJ mol-1 for the most acidic species, 3,4-DHB, to 858 kJ mol-1 for the least acidic one, 2,5-DHB. The results indicate that ground-state proton transfer from the matrix radical cations to the analyte may play a role in the ionization process of MALDI, whereas proton transfer from protonated matrix molecules can be excluded. 相似文献

Application of two new series of ionic liquid matrices (ILMs) based on the two most predominantly used conventional organic matrices (Sinapinic acid and 2,5-DHB) in conjugation with various bases (aniline (ANI), dimethyl aniline (DMANI), diethylamine (DEA), dicyclohexylamine (DCHA), pyridine (Pyr), 2-picoline(2-P), 3-picoline(3-P)) for bacterial analysis in matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) are reported. The results reveal that ionic liquid matrices could significantly enhance the protein signals, reduce spot-to-spot variation and increase spot homogeneity. More importantly, these novel matrices would not produce any interference during MALDI-MS analysis. Among these ILMs, 2,5-DHB/ANI, 2,5-DHB/DMANI and 2,5-DHB/Pyr can be successfully applied to intact bacterial studies compared with other ILMs. Base molecules when added to conventional matrix can promote proton transfer between the bacterial lysate and the matrices. Due to the enhanced proton transfer efficiency by the ionic liquid matrices, almost all the biomolecules of the intact bacterial cells can be ionized and detected in the MALDI-MS. All synthesized ILMs were characterized using ESI (+)/MS and UV-spectroscopy. 相似文献

A glass-chip-based sample preparation method for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric (MALDI-MS) analysis of tryptic digests of proteins and intact cells is described. A MALDI matrix, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB), was hybridized with sol-gels to generate a sol-gel-derived material. Taking advantage of the characteristics of sol-gels, the sol-gel-derived material readily adhered to the surface of a glass chip through covalent bonding. Only one step of sample preparation, deposition of the sample solution on the glass chip, was required before MALDI-MS analysis. Because 2,5-DHB was homogeneously dispersed on the sol-gel network structure, good spot-to-spot reproducibility was obtained in MALDI analysis using this approach and the analyte signals were uniform throughout the chip. The modified glass chips were robust and effective for at least 1 week. This glass-chip-based matrix preparation method provides a straightforward approach to developing techniques for analyzing the on-chip enzymatic digestion of proteins and intact cells of microorganisms. Cytochrome C and Escherichia coli were used as analytes to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach. The products of the on-chip enzymatic digests were identified through protein database searches. 相似文献

An integrated analytical strategy for enrichment, detection and sequencing of phosphorylated peptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is reported. o-Phosphoric acid was found to enhance phosphopeptide ion signals in MALDI-MS when used as the acid dopant in 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB) matrix. The effect was largest for multiply phosphorylated peptides, which exhibited an up to ten-fold increase in ion intensity as compared with standard sample preparation methods. The enhanced phosphopeptide response was observed during MALDI-MS analysis of several peptide mixtures derived by proteolytic digestion of phosphoproteins. Furthermore, the mixture of 2,5-DHB and o-phosphoric acid was an excellent eluant for immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Singly and multiply phosphorylated peptide species were efficiently recovered from Fe(III)-IMAC columns, reducing sample handling for phosphopeptide mapping by MALDI-MS and subsequent phosphopeptide sequencing by MALDI-MS/MS. The enhanced response of phosphopeptide ions in MALDI facilitates MS/MS of large (>3 kDa) multiply phosphorylated peptide species and reduces the amount of analyte needed for complete characterization of phosphoproteins. 相似文献

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectra of underivatized oligosaccharides of the type attached to asparagine in glycoproteins (N-linked oligosaccharides) were examined with linear time-of-flight (TOF) and magnetic sector instruments using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB), α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, sinapinic acid, 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid or 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA) as the matrices. All compounds formed abundant [M + Na]+ ions with the strongest signals being obtained from 2,5-DHB after recrystallization of the initially dried sample spot from ethanol. Only traces of fragmentation were detected from neutral oligosaccharides on the TOF system but more abundant fragment ions (about 5% relative abundance) were present in the spectra from the magnetic sector instrument. Fragmentation was dominated by Y-type glycosidic cleavages (Domon and Costello nomenclature) between all sugar residues yielding sequence and branching information. Sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides generally produced the sodium adduct of the sodium salt and gave much weaker signals than the neutral sugars in the positive-ion mode. There was also considerable loss of the sialic acid moleties as the result of fragmentation on the magnetic sector instrument. The least fragmentation of both neutral and acidic sugars was caused by 2.5 DHB, which proved to be the most appropriate matrix for examination of oligosaccharide mixtures. Much better resolution of the oligosaccharides was obtained than by traditional methods such as the use of Bio-Gel P-4 gel filtration column chromatography. It is worth noting also that the measurements were considerably faster (a few minutes as opposed to about 16 h). In addition, no radiolabelling was necessary as required for detection on the P-4 columns. Mixtures of oligosaccharides from several glycoproteins (ribonuclease B, human immunoglobulin G (IgG) transferrin, bovine fetuin and chicken ovalbumin) were examined and the patterns of the identified oligosaccharides were found to agree closely with the known compositions of the sugar mixtures. The mass spectrometric resolution on the magnetic sector instrument was very much better (up to 3000, FWHM) than could be obtained with the linear TOF systems (200–400). The technique was used as a detection system for the products of exoglycosidase digestion in experiments to determine the detailed structure of the oligosaccharide chains from human IgG. 相似文献

The effect of the (initial) sample temperature on the threshold laser fluences and the increase of signal intensities with laser fluence has been investigated for UV-laser desorbed 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) ions and (photoionized) neutral DHB molecules using a ‘flat-top’ laser profile for desorption. A linear increase in threshold fluence with decreasing temperature was observed for neutrally desorbed molecules as well as ions in the investigated temperature range of approximately − 100°C to + 20°C. The results are discussed and interpreted in the framework of a quasi-thermal desorption model (IJMSIP 141 (1995) 127–148). 相似文献

The dependence of the number of desorbed particles on laser fluence has been investigated for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) of analyte and matrix ions as well as for (photoionized) neutral matrix molecules using a homogeneous “flat-top” laser profile. Laser spot diameters ranging from 10 to 200 μm in size have been used. 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (sinapic acid) have been tested as matrices. The threshold (for ion detection) is higher and the dependence of the ion signal upon higher-than-threshold fluences is stronger for directly desorbed ions than for photoionized neutral molecules. Directly desorbed analyte ions exhibit the same dependence on fluence as the matrix ions with only minor differences between the two matrices tested, so both have approximately the same detection threshold. For both ions and photoionized neutral molecules, the fluence threshold increases with decreasing spot size while the slope of the intensity/fluence curves decreases. A quasi-thermal, sublimation/desportion model was found to describe the experimental results with excellent precision. For a complete explanation, non-equilibrium effects had to be taken into account. 相似文献

Six novel poly(phenylenevinylene) (PPV) derivatives carrying butoxy or myrtanyl groups, including poly(2-butoxy-m-phenylenevinylene) (Bu-MPV), poly(2,5-dibutoxy-p-phenylenevinylene-alter-p-phenylenevinylene) (Bu-PPPV), poly(2,5-dibutoxy-p-phenylenevinylene-alter-m-phenylenevinylene) (Bu-PMPV), poly(2-myrtanyl-m-phenylenevinylene) (Myr-MPV), poly(2,5-dimyrtanyl-p-phenylenevinylene-alter-p-phenylenevinylene) (Myr-PPPV), and poly(2,5-dimyrtanyl-p-phenylenevinylene-alter-m-phenylenevinylene) (Myr-PMPV), were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS). The repeat unit mass and the end-group structures of each sample were obtained. Distinctly different spectra with different ion series and/or different ion signal intensities were observed for the analytes Bu-MPV, Myr-MPV, Bu-PPPV, Myr-PPPV and Myr-PMPV when different matrices were used, and different ion series were acquired when different solvents were used for Myr-PPPV and Myr-PMPV. The results show that the PPV oligomers with different shapes and/or with different end groups can be selectively desorbed and ionized in MALDI by using different matrices. 相似文献

A series of seven typical matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) matrices has been investigated by means of electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (ECNI-MS). It has been shown that the most effective matrices form deprotonated negative ions predominantly in the low-energy region. Relative dissociative cross sections have been measured for all molecules under investigation. The relative integrated abundance of [M - H](-) ion formation in the series changes by four orders of magnitude. It has been shown that 2,5-DHB (gentisic acid), one of the most effective MALDI matrices, has maximal relative intensity of [M - H](-) formation at the energy approximately equal 0.8 eV. This result is in accordance with a finding of Frankevich and Zenobi [Book of Abstracts, Workshop-school "Mass spectrometry in chemical physics, bio-physics and environmental sciences", Zvenigorod, Russia, April, 25-26, 2002, p. 40] that a probable origin of negative ions in MALDI is the process of low-energy (0.5-1 eV) dissociative electron capture by matrix molecules. 相似文献

In this study, an aqueous solution of 13-nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) covalently bonded with human serum albumin (HSA) was used for sensing lysozyme (Lys). HSA molecules were good stabilizing agents for AuNPs in high-salt solution and exhibited the ability to bond with Lys electrostatically. The aggregation of HSA-AuNPs was achieved upon the addition of high-pI proteins, such as Lys, alpha-chymotrypsinogen A, and conalbumin. Not the same was achieved, however, when low-pI proteins such as ovalbumin, bovine serum albumin, and alpha-lactalbumin were added. Matrix-assisted desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was used to demonstrate the interaction between HSA-AuNPs and Lys. It was found that the sensitivity of HSA-AuNPs for Lys was highly dependent on the HSA concentration. The Lys-induced aggregation of HSA-AuNPs was suggested based on the London-van der Waals attractive force. We further improved the selectivity of the probe by adjusting the pH solution to 8.0. Under the optimum conditions, the selectivity of this system for Lys over other proteins in high-salt solutions was remarkably high, even when their pI was very close to the Lys. The lowest detectable concentration of Lys in this approach was 50 nM. The applicability of the method was validated through the analyses of Lys in chicken egg white. 相似文献

Artifact-free, high-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectra have been obtained for the labile, single-isomer, tert.-butyldimethylsilyl ether derivatives of alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins by optimizing the MALDI sample preparation method. 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid, a 3:1 mixture of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 1-hydroxyisoquinoline, and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone were investigated as MALDI matrices with methanol and acetonitrile as matrix solvents. Partial-to-complete loss of the tert.-butyldimethylsilyl groups was observed when the commonly used 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid was the MALDI matrix and/or methanol was the solvent, both with and without trifluoroacetic acid as additive. Loss of the labile tert.-butyldimethylsilyl groups was avoided with 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone as MALDI matrix and acetonitrile as matrix solvent. Good ion intensities were achieved for the (M+Na)+ and (M+K)+ quasimolecular ions in the positive-ion mode. Minor byproducts were observed in some of the samples and the information was used to aid the optimization of the synthetic work. 相似文献
