Carbon isotope ratio (CIR) analysis of urinary steroids using gas chromatography-combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GCC-IRMS) is a recognized test to detect illicit doping with synthetic testosterone. There are currently no universally used steroid isotopic standards (SIS). We adapted a protocol to prepare isotopically uniform steroids for use as a calibrant in GCC-IRMS that can be analyzed under the same conditions as used for steroids extracted from urine. Two separate SIS containing a mixture of steroids were created and coded CU/USADA 33-1 and CU/USADA 34-1, containing acetates and native steroids, respectively. CU/USADA 33-1 contains 5α-androstan-3β-ol acetate (5α-A-AC), 5α-androstan-3α-ol-17-one acetate (androsterone acetate, A-AC), 5β-androstan-3α-ol-11, 17-dione acetate (11-ketoetiocholanolone acetate, 11k-AC) and 5α-cholestane (Cne). CU/USADA 34-1 contains 5β-androstan-3α-ol-17-one (etiocholanolone, E), 5α-androstan-3α-ol-17-one (androsterone, A), and 5β-pregnane-3α, 20α-diol (5βP). Each mixture was prepared and dispensed into a set of about 100 ampoules using a protocol carefully designed to minimize isotopic fractionation and contamination. A natural gas reference material, NIST RM 8559, traceable to the international standard Vienna PeeDee Belemnite (VPDB) was used to calibrate the SIS. Absolute δ13CVPDB and Δδ13CVPDB values from randomly selected ampoules from both SIS indicate uniformity of steroid isotopic composition within measurement reproducibility, SD(δ13C) < 0.2‰. This procedure for creation of isotopic steroid mixtures results in consistent standards with isotope ratios traceable to the relevant international reference material. 相似文献

A comparison study on folate quantitation was carried out between the recently developed stable isotope dilution assay using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) and the frequently used HPLC with fluorimetric detection (LC-FD). By applying LC-MS-MS, spinach, wheat bread, beef, and blood plasma were found to contain 159.2, 19.8, 1.2, and 5.6 microg/100 g total folates, respectively, whereas the respective quantitative data obtained by LC-FD were 95.5, 16.2, 0.7, and 6.8 microg/100 g. In all samples, LC-MS-MS revealed superior selectivity and precision and circumvented the shortcomings of conventional LC techniques, i.e., ambiguous peak assignment as well as high detection limits for 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, 10-formylfolic acid, and folic acid. The affinity chromatography columns used in this study showed excellent cleanup performance and permitted detection limits as low as 0.1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.08, and 0.1 microg/100 g for tetrahydrofolate (H(4)folate), 5-methyl-H(4)folate, 5-formyl-H(4)folate, 10-formylfolate, and pteroylglutamic acid, respectively. Thus, a 10-fold higher sensitivity compared to solid-phase anion-exchange cartridges was achieved. However, affinity chromatography columns revealed a significantly higher affinity toward the natural vitamers than to the racemic isotopomeric standards, which has to be considered when applying the latter in stable isotope dilution assays. 相似文献

Isotope ratio monitoring (IRM) mass spectrometry was used to measure the relative abundance of stable isotopes in several samples of adult human hemoglobin expressed in E. coli, yeast, and human blood. The results showed significant differences in the distribution of (15)N and (13)C isotopes among hemoglobin samples produced in these organisms. This indicates that IRM mass spectrometry can be used in forensic protein chemistry to identify the origin of protein expression. 相似文献

Proteomic approaches have been used for detection and identification of cytochromes P450 forms from highly purified membrane preparations of human liver. These included the protein separation by 2D-and/or 1D-electrophoresis and molecular scanning of a SDS-PAGE gel fragment in a range 45–66 kDa (this area corresponds molecular weights of cytochromes P450). The analysis of protein content was statistically evaluated by means of an original 1D-ZOOMER software package which allowed to carry out the processing of mass spectra mixture instead of individual mass spectra used by standard techniques. In the range 45–66 kDa we identified 13 microsomal membrane proteins including such cytochrome P450 forms as CYPs 1A2, 1B1, 2A6, 2E1, 2C8, 2C9, 2C10, 2D6, 3A4, 4A11, 4F2. Study of enzymatic activities of human liver microsomal cytochrome P450 isoforms CYP 1A, 2B, 3A, and 2E revealed the decrease in the rates of O-dealkylation and N-demethylation catalyzed by CYP 450 1A1/1A2 and 3A4 under pathological conditions, whereas 7-benzyloxyresorufin-O-debenzylase activity (which characterizes the total activity of CYP 2B and CYP 2C), the activities of CYP 2E1 (methanol oxidation), 7-pentoxyresorufin-O-dealkylation (CYP 2B), 7-ethoxy-and 7-methoxycoumarin-O-dealkylases (CYP 2B1) remained basically unchanged. 相似文献

Background: Oxidative degradation of human recombinant erythropoietin (hrEPO) may occur in manufacturing process or therapeutic applications. This unfavorable alteration may render EPO inefficient or inactive. We investigated the effect of methionine/54 oxidative changes on the amino acid sequences, glycoform distribution and biological activity of hrEPO. Methods: Mass spectrometry was applied to verify the sequence and determine the methionine oxidation level of hrEPO. Isoform distribution was studied by capillary zone electrophoresis method. In vivo normocythemic mice assay was used to assess the biological activity of three different batches (A, B, and C) of the proteins. Results: Nano-LC/ESI/MS/MS data analyses confirmed the amino acid sequences of all samples. The calculated area percent of three isoforms (2–4 of the 8 obtained isoforms) were decreased in samples of C, B, and A with 27.3, 16.7, and 6.8% of oxidation, respectively. Specific activities were estimated as 53671.54, 95826.47, and 112994.93?mg/mL for the samples of A, B, and C, respectively. Conclusion: The observed decrease in hrEPO biological activity, caused by increasing methionine oxidation levels, was rather independent of its amino acid structure and mainly associated with the higher contents of acidic isoforms. 相似文献

A static method was developed that simultaneously determined the solubility of oxygen and the oxygen-transfer coefficient in a stirred bioreactor. It was based on the static method developed by van Sonsbeek et al. to determine the ka in a liquid-impelled loop reactor. Only physical properties of the liquid were used to determine both parameters using a mass spectrometer. Data about the solubility of oxygen in water are available from the literature. Therefore, the solubility of oxygen in water was used to compare our data with published data. Furthermore, the solubility of oxygen in trypticase soy broth was compared to literature data. No significant deviations between our data and literature data could be observed. Our static method and the commonly applied dynamic method to determine the oxygen-transfer coefficient yielded similar results. The effect of temperature on the oxygen-transfer coefficient could be expressed as the activation energy needed for the transition of oxygen from the gas to the water phase. This was verified using the Arrhenius equation. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

First, we report the application of stable isotope dilution theory in metabolome characterization of aerobic glucose limited chemostat culture of S. cerevisiae CEN.PK 113-7D using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization MS/MS (LC-ESI-MS/MS). A glucose-limited chemostat culture of S. cerevisiae was grown to steady state at a specific growth rate (mu)=0.05 h(-1) in a medium containing only naturally labeled (99% U-12C, 1% U-13C) carbon source. Upon reaching steady state, defined as 5 volume changes, the culture medium was switched to chemically identical medium except that the carbon source was replaced with 100% uniformly (U) 13C labeled stable carbon isotope, fed for 4 h, with sampling every hour. We observed that within a period of 1 h approximately 80% of the measured glycolytic metabolites were U-13C-labeled. Surprisingly, during the next 3 h no significant increase of the U-13C-labeled metabolites occurred. Second, we demonstrate for the first time the LC-ESI-MS/MS-based quantification of intracellular metabolite concentrations using U-13C-labeled metabolite extracts from chemostat cultivated S. cerevisiae cells, harvested after 4 h of feeding with 100% U-13C-labeled medium, as internal standard. This method is hereby termed "Mass Isotopomer Ratio Analysis of U-13C Labeled Extracts" (MIRACLE). With this method each metabolite concentration is quantified relative to the concentration of its U-13C-labeled equivalent, thereby eliminating drawbacks of LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis such as nonlinear response and matrix effects and thus leads to a significant reduction of experimental error and work load (i.e., no spiking and standard additions). By coextracting a known amount of U-13C labeled cells with the unlabeled samples, metabolite losses occurring during the sample extraction procedure are corrected for. 相似文献

The unbiased and comprehensive analysis of metabolites in any organism presents a major challenge if proper peak annotation and unambiguous assignment of the biological origin of the peaks are required. Here we provide a comprehensive multi-isotope labelling-based strategy using fully labelled (13) C, (15) N and (34) S plant tissues, in combination with a fractionated metabolite extraction protocol. The extraction procedure allows for the simultaneous extraction of polar, semi-polar and hydrophobic metabolites, as well as for the extraction of proteins and starch. After labelling and extraction, the metabolites and lipids were analysed using a high-resolution mass spectrometer providing accurate MS and all-ion fragmentation data, providing an unambiguous readout for every detectable isotope-labelled peak. The isotope labelling assisted peak annotation process employed can be applied in either an automated database-dependent or a database-independent analysis of the plant polar metabolome and lipidome. As a proof of concept, the developed methods and technologies were applied and validated using Arabidopsis thaliana leaf and root extracts. Along with a large repository of assigned elemental compositions, which is provided, we show, using selected examples, the accuracy and reliability of the developed workflow. 相似文献

A general method for the quantification of proteins in human serum was developed using mass spectrometry (MS) and stable isotope-labeled synthetic peptides as internal standards. Using this approach, C-reactive protein (CRP), a diagnostic marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), was detected in serum samples taken from patients with either erosive or nonerosive RA and compared to healthy individuals. Small volumes of serum samples were enriched for low-abundance proteins through the selective removal of human serum albumin (HSA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and haptoglobin. After depletion of abundant proteins, the complexity of the protein mixture was further simplified using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to fractionate denatured proteins into discrete molecular weight ranges. Fractions of interest containing CRP, M(r) = 25 000, were pooled, digested with trypsin, and then fixed quantities of the synthetic peptides were added to the mixture. The mixture of tryptic peptides was subsequently analyzed by nanoflow chromatography-tandem MS (nanoLC-MS/MS) using multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (TQ-MS). The ratio of transition ions derived from the endogenous and isotope-labeled peptides provided a quantitative measure of CRP in the original samples as assessed by independent measurement of CRP in the same patient samples using an immunoassay. The use of isotope-labeled synthetic peptides and MRM is a powerful analytical method for the prescreening of candidate protein biomarkers in human serum prior to antibody and immunoassay development. 相似文献

Androstenedione (4-androstene-3,17-dione) is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) as an endogenous steroid. The official method to confirm androstenedione abuse is isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). According to the guidance published by WADA, atypical steroid profiles are required to trigger IRMS analysis. However, in some situations, steroid profile parameters are not effective enough to suspect the misuse of endogenous steroids. The aim of this study was to investigate the atypical steroid profile induced by androstenedione administration and the detection of androstenedione doping using IRMS. Ingestion of androstenedione resulted in changes in urinary steroid profile, including increased concentrations of androsterone (An), etiocholanolone (Etio), 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5α-diol), and 5β-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5β-diol) in all of the subjects. Nevertheless, the testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio was elevated only in some of the subjects. The rapid increases in the concentrations of An and Etio, as well as in T/E ratio for some subjects could provide indicators for initiating IRMS analysis only for a short time period, 2-22 h post-administration. However, IRMS could provide positive determinations for up to 55 h post-administration. This study demonstrated that, 5β-diol concentration or Etio/An ratio could be utilized as useful indicators for initiating IRMS analysis during 2-36 h post-administration. Lastly, Etio, with slower clearance, could be more effectively used than An for the confirmation of androstenedione doping using IRMS. 相似文献

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT-II) mediates the import of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for subsequent beta-oxidation. Defects of CPT-II manifest as a severe neonatal hepatocardiomuscular form or as a mild muscular phenotype in early infancy or adolescence. CPT-II deficiency is diagnosed by the determination of enzyme activity in tissues involving the time-dependent conversion of radiolabeled CPT-II substrates (isotope-exchange assays) or the formation of chromogenic reaction products. We have established a mass spectrometric assay (MS/MS) for the determination of CPT-II activity based on the stoichiometric formation of acetylcarnitine in a coupled reaction system. In this single-tube reaction system palmitoylcarnitine is converted by CPT-II to free carnitine, which is subsequently esterified to acetylcarnitine by carnitine acetyltransferase. The formation of acetylcarnitine directly correlates with the CPT-II activity. Comparison of the MS/MS method (y) with our routine spectrophotometric assay (x) revealed a linear regression of y = 0.58x + 0.12 (r = 0.8369). Both assays allow one to unambiguously detect patients with the muscular form of CPT-II deficiency. However, the higher specificity and sensitivity as well as the avoidance of the drawbacks inherent in the use of radiolabeled substrates make this mass spectrometric method most suitable for the determination of CPT-II activity. 相似文献

Characterization of the in vitro phosphorylation of human tau by tau protein kinase II (cdk5/p20) using mass spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hyperphosphorylated tau is an integral part of the neurofibrillary tangles that form within neuronal cell bodies, and tau protein kinase II is reported to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Recently, we reported that tau protein kinase II (cdk5/p20)-phosphorylated human tau inhibits microtubule assembly, and tau protein kinase II (cdk5/p20) phosphorylation of microtubule-associated tau results in dissociation of phosphorylated tau from the microtubules and tubulin depolymerization. In the studies reported here, a combination of mass spectrometric techniques was used to study the phosphorylation of human recombinant tau by recombinant tau protein kinase II (cdk5/p20) in vitro. The extent of phosphorylation was determined by measuring the molecular mass of phosphorylated tau using mass spectrometry. Reaction of human recombinant tau with tau protein kinase II (cdk5/p20) resulted in the formation of two major species containing either five or six phosphate groups. The specific amino acid residues phosphorylated were determined by analyzing tryptic peptides by tandem mass spectrometry via either MALDI/TOF post-source decay or by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. Based on these experiments, we conclude that tau protein kinase II (cdk5/p20) can phosphorylate human tau at Thr(181), Thr(205), Thr(212), Thr(217), Ser(396) and Ser(404). 相似文献

Protein production of mammalian-cell culture is limited due to accumulation of waste products such as lactate, CO(2), and ammonia. In this study, the intracellular fluxes of hybridoma cells are measured to determine the amount by which various metabolic pathways contribute to the secretion of waste products derived from glucose. Continuously cultured hybridoma cells are grown in medium containing either 1-(13)C-, 2-(13)C-, or 6-(13)C-glucose. The uptake and production rates of amino acids, glucose, ammonia, O(2), and CO(2) as well as the cellular composition are measured. In addition, the (13)C distribution of the lactate produced and alanine produced by the hybridomas is determined by (1)H-NMR spectroscopy, and the (13)CO(2)/(12)CO(2) ratio is measured by on-line mass spectrometry. These data are used to calculate the intracellular fluxes of the glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, the TCA cycle, and fluxes involved in amino acid metabolism. It is shown that: (i) approximately 20% of the glucose consumed is channeled through the pentose shunt; (ii) the glycolysis pathway contributes the most to lactate production, and most of the CO(2) is produced by the TCA cycle; (iii) the pyruvate-carboxylase flux is negligibly small; and (iv) the malic-enzyme flux is estimated to be 10% of the glucose uptake rate. Based on these flux data suggestions are made to engineer a more efficient glucose metabolism in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Although, 1,3-butadiene is a known human carcinogen emitted from mobile sources, little is known about traffic-related human exposure to this toxicant. This pilot study was designed to characterize traffic-related environmental exposure to 1,3-butadiene and evaluate its urinary mercapturic acids as biomarkers of exposure in these settings. Personal air samples and multiple urine samples were collected on two separate occasions from three groups of individuals that differed by spatial proximity as well as intensity of traffic: (i) toll collectors, (ii) urban-weekday and (iii) suburban-weekend group. Air samples were analyzed using thermal desorption followed by GC/MS and urine samples were analyzed using isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) for two mercapturic acids of 1,3-butadiene: monohydroxy-3-butenyl mercapturic acid (MHBMA) and 1,2-dihydroxybutyl mercapturic acid (DHBMA). Exposure differed between groups (p<0.05) with median values of 2.38, 1.62 and 0.88 microg/m(3) for toll collectors, the urban-weekday group and the suburban-weekend group, respectively. A refined ID-LC-MS/MS method enabled detection of MHBMA, previously detected only in occupational settings, with high frequency. MHBMA and DHBMA were detected in 95 and 100% of urine samples at levels (mean+/-S.D.) of 9.7+/-9.5, 6.0+/-4.3 and 6.8+/-2.6 ng/mL for MHBMA and 378+/-196, 258+/-133 and 306+/-242 ng/mL for DHBMA for the three different groups, respectively. Mean biomarker levels were higher among the toll collectors compared to the other two groups, however, the differences were not statistically significant (p>0.05). This study is the first to evaluate 1,3-butadiene biomarkers for subtle differences in environmental exposures. However, additional research will be required to ascertain whether the lack of statistical association observed here is real or attributable to unexpectedly small differences in exposure between groups (<1 microg/m(3)), non-specificity of the biomarker at low exposure, and/or small sample size. 相似文献

The stereoselective determination of stereoisomers in biological samples provides vital information on stereospecific metabolism and pharmacokinetic profiles of the drugs. Despite the unique advantage and the great success of normal-phase (NP) HPLC for the separations of drug stereoisomers using polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs), the technique is rarely applied to quantitative HPLC-MS-MS bioanalysis. This is, at least in part, due to the incompatibility between the usual mobile phase (n-hexane or n-heptane) in normal-phase HPLC and the MS ionization sources which poses a potential detonation hazard. An environmentally friendly and nonflammable alternative solvent, ethoxynonafluorobutane (ENFB), was reported previously to potentially provide an ideal solution for combining the powers of stereoselective NP chromatographic separation and MS-MS detection. In this study, a stereoselective NP-HPLC-MS-MS method was developed using ENFB to quantify a pair of Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) proprietary drug stereoisomers and their ketone metabolite for an in vitro study, which demonstrated, for the first time, the practical applicability and utility of ENFB for bioanalysis in pharmaceutical industry. The effects of different organic modifiers and temperature, as well as the comparison between ENFB and the usual solvent, heptane, for the separation, are discussed. The resolution of the stereoisomers was achieved using 63% of 3:1 mixture of ethanol and methanol with 37% ENFB on a Chiralpak AD-H column at 50 degrees C. High sensitivity was obtained using the MS-MS detection in the positive ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mode. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for the first stereoisomer and the ketone metabolite was 5 ng/mL, and was 10 ng/mL for the second isomer in the human liver microsome-potassium phosphate buffer matrix. The linear dynamic range of 5-1000 ng/mL for both isomers and 10-1000 ng/mL for the metabolite were demonstrated with R2 > or =0.997. The precision of the analysis was <5% R.S.D. at or above the nominal concentration of 80 ng/mL, and <20% R.S.D. at 8 ng/mL. The mean bias was less than 15%. Extraction recovery and acceptable matrix interference were demonstrated using one isomer and the ketone, and better than 75% recovery and less than 25% ion suppression or interference were found. The method was successfully implemented for an in vitro intrinsic metabolic clearance study. 相似文献

Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry methods are described for the simultaneous quantification of a bis-thiazolium compound (T3), its related prodrug (TE3) and an intermediate compound (mTE3) that appeared during the prodrug/drug conversion process, in human plasma, whole blood and red blood cells (RBCs). The methods involve solid phase extraction (SPE) of the compounds and the internal standard (verapamil) from the three different matrices using OasisHLB columns with an elution solvent of 2x1 ml of acetonitrile containing 1 ml/l trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). HPLC separation was performed on a C18 encapped Xterra column packed with 3.5 microm particles. The mobile phase used a 8 min gradient, from water containing 1 ml/l TFA to acetonitrile containing 1 ml/l TFA, at a flow rate of 400 microl/min. Verapamil and the TE3 compound were characterized by the protonated molecules at m/z 455 and m/z 541, respectively. The mTE3 species was detected through the (M)+ ion at m/z 497. The T3 compound was detected by use of two ions, the quaternary ammonium salt (M2+/2) at m/z 227.3 and by the adduct with TFA (M+TFA)+ at m/z 567.3. The drug/internal standard peak area ratios were linked via a quadratic relationship to plasma (or whole blood) concentrations in the tested range of 6.4-1282 microg/l (12.8-2564 microg/kg) for T3, 20-2000 microg/l (40-4000 microg/kg) for mTE3 and 10-2000 microg/l (40-4000 microg/kg) for TE3, and to T3 concentrations in RBCs ranging from 12.8 to 2564 microg/kg. Inter-assay precision (in terms of R.S.D.) was below 13.5% and accuracy ranged from 95.4 to 107%. The dilution of the samples (plasma or whole blood) has no influence on the performance of the methods. The extraction recoveries averaged 87% for T3, 53% for mTE3 and 79% for TE3 in plasma; 79% for T3, 57% for mTE3 and 65% for TE3 in blood; and 93% for T3 in RBCs, and was constant across the calibration range. The lower limits of quantitation were 6.4 microg/l for T3, 20 microg/l for mTE3 and 10 microg/l for TE3 in plasma; 12.8 microg/kg for T3 and 40 microg/kg for mTE3 and TE3 in blood; and 12.8 microg/kg for T3 in RBCs. Stability tests under various conditions were also investigated. The three-step SPE procedure (loading, clean-up, and elution) described in this paper to quantify these new anti-malarial compounds in plasma, whole blood and RBCs, can easily be automated by using either robotisation or an automated sample preparation system. 相似文献

A procedure is described for the quantification of the major malondialdehyde deoxyguanosine adduct, pyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin-10(3H)-one-deoxyribose (M(1)GdR) in urine. M(1)GdR is isolated from urine by a combination of C(18) solid-phase extraction and immunoaffinity chromatography. Sodium borohydride treatment reduces M(1)GdR to the 5,6-dihydro derivative, which is quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Authentic [7,9-15N,8-13C]M(1)GdR is added to urine as an internal standard. A detection limit of 50 fmol M(1)GdR/ml urine is achieved starting with 5 ml of urine. Analysis of urine samples from control rats or rats treated with CCl(4) indicates that the levels of M(1)GdR are below the detection limit of the assay. This method is easily adaptable to the analysis of M(1)GdR in DNA samples or biological fluids. 相似文献

An original method based upon high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to ion spray mass spectrometry (HPLC-ISP-MS) has been developed for the identification and quantification of colchicine (COL) in human blood, plasma or urine. After single-step liquid-liquid extraction by dichloromethane at pH 8.0 using tofisopam (TOF) as an internal standard, solutes are separated on a 5-μm C18 Microbore (Alltech) column (250×1.0 mm, I.D.), using acetonitrile-2 mM NH4COOH, pH 3 buffer (75:25, v/v) as the mobile phase (flow-rate 50 μl/min). Detection is done by a Perkin-Elmer Sciex API-100 mass analyzer equipped with a ISP interface (nebulizing and curtain gas: N2, quality U; main settings: ISP, +4.0 kV; OR, +50 V; Q0, −10 V; Q1, −13 V; electron multiplier, +2.2 kV); MS data are collected as either total ion current (TIC, m/z 100–500 or 380–405), or selected ion monitoring (SIM) at m/z 400 and 383 for COL and TOF, respectively. COL mass spectrum shows a prominent molecular ion [M+H]+ at m/z 400. Increasing OR potential fails to provide a significant fragmentation. Retention times are 2.70 and 4.53 min for COL and TOF, respectively. The quantification method shows a good linearity (r = 0.998) over a concentration range from 5 to 200 ng/ml. The lower limit of detection in SIM mode is 0.6 ng/ml COL, making the method convenient for both clinical and forensic purposes. 相似文献

The study of the metabolomics of primary metabolites using conventional chemical analyses requires a high-throughput method. Chemical derivatizations are a prerequisite for gas-chromatographic separation, and a large sample quantity is needed for liquid-chromatographic separation and nuclear magnetic resonance detection systems. Recently, we have developed a capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) technology that can simultaneously quantify a large number of primary metabolites, using only a small quantity of samples, and without any chemical derivatizations. Parallel use of a capillary electrophoresis-diode array detector (CE-DAD) system further enables almost all water-soluble intracellular metabolites to be analyzed. We demonstrate, with rice leaves, a simple and rapid method of sample preparation for CE analysis; using this method, we have successfully measured the levels of 88 main metabolites involved in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway, photorespiration, and amino acid biosynthesis. 相似文献
