3,5-Bis-trifluoromethylbenzoyl derivatives of eight monohydroxy steroids and eight dihydroxy steroids were synthesised. Under the reaction conditions described, the monohydroxy steroids each gave a single derivative while the dihydroxy steroids, with the exception of corticosterone, showed multiple product formation. The reactivity of hydroxyl groups relative to their stereochemistry is discussed. The electron capture negative ion chemical ionisation mass spectra of these derivatives were recorded. When the derivatised hydroxyl group was alicyclic or aromatic, a molecular ion was normally the base peak in the mass spectrum. Selected ion monitoring of molecular ions indicated that, in certain cases, as little as 1 pg of the parent steroid could be detected. The potential use of this derivative in the quantitative analysis of steroids by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is discussed. 相似文献

A non-aqueous reverse-phase HPLC method, based on two columns in series, has been used to separate the major triacylglycerols (TAGs) from commercial castor oil and to perform either on-line negative ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI), or off-line positive ion matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI)/MS. The resulting Mass Spectra showed chloride-attached TAG molecules [M + CI]- in the case of negative-ion APCI, and sodium-attached TAG molecules [M + Na]+ in the case of positive-ion MALDI. For MALDI time-of-flight (TOF)/MS, a liquid binary matrix system consisting of sodium ferrocyanide and glycerol was applied, resulting in excellent TAG sensitivity, which was necessary for the determination of trace amounts of TAGs in castor oil. Both techniques allowed unambiguous molecular mass determination of the intact TAG molecules with no thermal degradation. Furthermore, seamless post source decay (PSD) fragment ion analysis by means of a curved field reflector TOF mass spectrometer allowed the determination of the fatty acid composition of each individual TAG. Castor oil contained eight different TAGs which were successfully determined by both APCI and MALDI techniques. In each TAG, at least two units of 12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid (ricinoleic acid) were present. The following fatty acids were determined by seamless PSD fragment ion analysis and APCI/MALDI molecular mass determination as TAG substructures: ricinoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, dihydroxy stearic acid and eicosenoic acid. Triricinolein was the dominating TAG. 相似文献

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a highly versatile and sensitive analytical technique, which is known for its soft ionisation of biomolecules such as peptides and proteins. Generally, MALDI MS analysis requires little sample preparation, and in some cases like MS profiling it can be automated through the use of robotic liquid-handling systems. For more than a decade now, MALDI MS has been extensively utilised in the search for biomarkers that could aid clinicians in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision making. This review examines the various MALDI-based MS techniques like MS imaging, MS profiling and proteomics in-depth analysis where MALDI MS follows fractionation and separation methods such as gel electrophoresis, and how these have contributed to prostate cancer biomarker research.

MALDI-TOF质谱源后衰变技术鉴定2D胶蛋白点 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
PMF方法由于具有高灵敏度、高通量和容易自动化等优点,在蛋白质组学鉴定中占有重要的地位。然而,许多样品(比如:小分子蛋白,混合物等)仅仅通过PMF方法不能明确鉴定。在这种情况下,在测定PMF的同一个样品上,选择一个酶解片段峰进行PSD测序,并把这些序列信息输入MS—Tag软件进行搜索,结合PMF方法,表观分子量等电点等参数,能够对胶上的点进行明确的鉴定。本文先用PSD方法对胶上的三个标准蛋白进行鉴定,都得到了非常准确的结果,同时鉴定了胶上的几个未知点。 相似文献

Neurosteroids and neurosterols are found in brain at low levels (ng/g-microg/g) against a high background of cholesterol (mg/g). As such their analysis can be challenging. Traditionally, these molecules have been analysed by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS), however, the absence of molecular ions in GC-MS spectra, even from derivatised molecules, can make the discovery and identification of novel neurosteroids/sterols difficult. To avoid this scenario, liquid chromatography (LC) combined with desorption ionisation methods are employed. In this review we discuss the application of LC-MS and LC-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the identification of neurosteroids/sterols, paying particular attention to the use of low-flow-rate LC to maximise chromatographic and mass spectrometric performance. 相似文献

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging of proteolytic peptides from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections could be integrated in the portfolio of molecular pathologists for protein localization and tissue classification. However, protein identification can be very tedious using MALDI-time-of-flight (TOF) and post-source decay (PSD)-based fragmentation. Hereby, we implemented an R package and Shiny app to exploit liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based proteomic biomarker discovery data for more specific identification of peaks observed in bottom-up MALDI imaging data. The package is made available under the GPL 3 license. The Shiny app can directly be used at the following address: https://biosciences.shinyapps.io/Maldimid. 相似文献

Chemical analysis for the characterisation of micro-organisms is rapidly evolving, after the recent advent of new ionisation methods in mass spectrometry (MS): electrospray (ES) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI). These methods allow quick characterisation of micro-organisms, either directly or after minimum sample preparation. This review provides a brief introduction to ES and MALDI MS and a discussion of micro-organism characterisation capabilities. Some attention is devoted to the analysis of mixtures of proteins, lipids and other compounds, to the combination of polymerase chain reaction technology and MS, and to the analysis of whole bacteria and their lysates. The review of results produced hitherto is concluded with an outlook on future developments. 相似文献

A method has been developed for laser desorption/ionization of catecholamines from porous silicon. This methodology is particularly attractive for analysis of small molecules. MALDI TOF mass spectrometry, although a very sensitive technique, utilizes matrices that need to be mixed with the sample prior to their analysis. Each matrix produces its own background, particularly in the low-molecular mass region. Therefore, detection and identification of molecules below 400 Da can be difficult. Desorption/ionization of samples deposited on porous silicon does not require addition of a matrix, thus, spectra in the low-molecular mass region can be clearly readable. Here, we describe a method for the analysis of catecholamines. While MALDI TOF is superior for proteomics/peptidomics, desorption/ionization from porous silicon can extend the operating range of a mass spectrometer for studies on metabolomics (small organic molecules and their metabolites, such as chemical neurotransmitters, prostaglandins, steroids, etc.). 相似文献

This review surveys the soft ionisation mass spectrometric methods that are most commonly used for the investigation of the mechanism of interaction between metallo-drugs and biomolecules. In the first part of the review, an overview of the applications of transition metal complexes in the therapy of various diseases (arthritis, cancer, diabetes) is given, whereas the second part focuses on the obtained results dealing with various aspects of the interaction between metal complexes and different types of biomolecules. Possibilities and limitations of each mass spectrometric method-namely, fast atom bombardment (FAB), electrospray ionisation (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionisation (MALDI)--are discussed in the third part of this review along with the examples of their application for the analysis of metal complexes, as well as of the products of their interaction with biomolecules. 相似文献

MALDI-TOF MS of phosphatidylethanolamines: different adducts cause different post source decay (PSD) fragment ion spectra 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is increasingly applied to lipids. However, positional acyl chain analysis of lipids by MALDI was so far scarcely described. In this paper, the fragmentation behavior of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is investigated by using post-source decay (PSD) MS. In dependence on the investigated adduct, significant differences could be obtained. It will be shown that in particular the negative ion spectra enable the determination of the individual acyl chains as well as their positions (sn-1 or sn-2). Therefore, MALDI-TOF PSD spectra are a real alternative to more sophisticated MS/MS methods. 相似文献

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF/MS) with delayed extraction is utilized in linear, reflected-ion and post-source decay (PSD) modes to directly characterize enzymes being developed for use in a petroleum desulfurization process. The DNA sequence for the genes isolated fromRhodococcussp. strain IGTS8 that produce three of the four enzymes under study had been previously reported with a discrepancy in residue assignments for one of the enzymes, dsz-C. The use of proteolytic digests followed by MALDI/TOF/MS with delayed extraction in the reflected-ion mode provided sequence-specific information with mass accuracies exceeding 40 ppm over a range of masses and signal-to-noise values. Peptide mapping of >80% of the residues was accomplished for all four proteins. The use of PSD established the true sequence for dsz-C, resolving the discrepancy in the literature. A posttranslational loss of N-terminal methionine was observed for each of the four proteins in linear MALDI/MS and was reconfirmed by peptide mapping for three of the proteins. 相似文献

High-throughput procedures are an important requirement for future large-scale genetic studies such as genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has revolutionised the analysis of biomolecules and, in particular, provides a very attractive solution for the rapid typing of DNA. The analysis of DNA by MALDI can be significantly facilitated by a procedure termed ‘charge-tagging’. We show here a novel approach for the generation of charge-tagged DNA using a photocleavable linker and its implementation in a molecular biological procedure for SNP genotyping consisting of PCR, primer extension, photocleavage and a chemical reaction prior to MALDI target preparation and analysis. The reaction sequence is amenable to liquid handling automation and requires no stringent purification procedures. We demonstrate this new method on SNPs in two genes involved in complex traits. 相似文献

Oestradiene-3,17-diol and oestratriene-3,17-diol (or the diol of Heard's ketone (3-hydroxy-5(10),6,8-oestratriene-17-one) have been extracted on a large scale from pooled urines and allantoic fluid obtained from pregnant mares. Initial purification was achieved using column chromatography, and further purification by high performance liquid chromatography or silver nitrate (argentation) thin layer chromatography. The steroids were characterised using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Positions of the double bonds in ring B of oestradienediol were deduced on the basis of results of ultraviolet (UV) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, hydrogenation, and incubation studies with the enzyme 5-ene-3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/steroid-4,5-isomerase. The reference steroid, 5,7-cholestadien-3beta-ol (7-dehydrocholesterol), with its conjugated double bond system, behaved entirely differently to oestradienediol, consistent with the latter having no conjugated system. These data, together with detailed results of NMR studies, have led us to designate the positions of the double bonds in oestradienediol as 5(10),7-. The instability of the dienediol became apparent when the steroid was converted to its bis-trimethylsilyl (TMS) ether. The phenomenon was exacerbated when derivatisation was performed at elevated temperatures or when the fraction containing the dienediol was stored at 4 degrees C prior to being derivatised. The facile oxidation product was shown to be 5(10),6, 8-oestratriene-3,17-diol, implying that the two steroids are related and, furthermore, that all the sites of unsaturation are in the B ring. Because of the facile oxidation of oestradienediol to oestratrienediol (the diol of Heard's ketone), we propose, that this, and by implication, Heard's ketone itself, are artefacts of the isolation procedures which were utilised in the original studies. A possible mechanism is proposed for the biosynthesis of 5, 7-oestradienediol from a ring-B unsaturated C(19) compound, involving C(19) demethylation without aromatisation. 相似文献

Rimadyl (carprofen) was administered orally to the racing greyhound at a dose of 2.2 mg kg(-1). Following both alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis, postadministration urine samples were extracted by mixed mode solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges to identify target analyte(s) for forensic screening and confirmatory analysis methods. The acidic isolates were derivatised as trimethylsilyl ethers (TMS) and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Carprofen and five phase I metabolites were identified. Positive ion electron ionisation (EI(+)) mass spectra of the TMS derivatives of carprofen and its metabolites show a diagnostic base peak at M(+)*. -117 corresponding to the loss of COO-Si-(CH(3))(3) group as a radical. GC-MS with positive ion ammonia chemical ionisation (CI(+)) of the compounds provided both derivatised molecular mass and some structural information. Deutromethylation-TMS derivatisation was used to distinguish between aromatic and aliphatic oxidations of carprofen. The drug is rapidly absorbed, extensively metabolised and excreted as phase II conjugates in urine. Carprofen, three aromatic hydroxy and a minor N-hydroxy metabolite were detected for up to 48 h. For samples collected between 2 and 8 h after administration, the concentration of total carprofen ranged between 200 and 490 ng ml(-1). The major metabolite, alpha-hydroxycarprofen was detected for over 72 h and therefore can also be used as a marker for the forensic screening of carprofen in greyhound urine. 相似文献

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes an apical membrane Cl- channel regulated by protein phosphorylation. To identify cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-phosphorylated residues in full-length CFTR, immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) was used to selectively purify phosphopeptides. The greater specificity of iron-loaded (Fe3+) nitrilotriacetic (NTA). Sepharose compared to iminodiacetic acid (IDA) metal-chelating matrices was demonstrated using a PKA-phosphorylated recombinant NBD1-R protein from CFTR. Fe(3+)-loaded NTA Sepharose preferentially bound phosphopeptides, whereas acidic and poly-His-containing peptides were co-purified using the conventional IDA matrices. IMAC using NTA Sepharose enabled the selective recovery of phosphopeptides and identification of phosphorylated residues from a complex proteolytic digest. Phosphopeptides from PKA-phosphorylated full-length CFTR, generated in Hi5 insect cells using a baculovirus expression system, were purified using NTA Sepharose. Phosphopeptides were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry (MALDI/MS) with post-source decay (PSD) analysis and collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments. Phosphorylated peptides were identified by mass and by the metastable loss of HPO3 and H3PO4 from the parent ions. Peptide sequence and phosphorylation at CFTR residues 660Ser, 737Ser, and 795Ser were confirmed using MALDI/PSD analysis. Peptide sequences and phosphorylation at CFTR residues 700Ser, 712Ser, 768Ser, and 813Ser were deduced from peptide mass, metastable fragment ion formation, and PKA consensus sequences. Peptide sequence and phosphorylation at residue 753Ser was confirmed using MALDI/CID analysis. This is the first report of phosphorylation of 753Ser in full-length CFTR. 相似文献

This study examined the involvement of sulphoconjugation in the biosynthesis of the 16-androstene steroids in Leydig cells of the mature boar, since the formation of steroid sulphoconjugates can reduce the levels of these steroids that accumulate in fatty tissue. Leydig cells were purified from testes of mature male pigs and incubated with pregnenolone, or various individual 16-androstene steroids for 10 min, 1, 4 and 8h. Sulphoconjugated steroids were recovered by solid-phase extraction followed by solvolysis. Profiles of unconjugated and sulphoconjugated steroids were analysed by HPLC. Steroids present in the sulphoconjugated fractions were purified, derivatised as O-methoxime/trimethylsilyl ethers (MO-TMS), and subsequently identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The principal metabolite produced from incubations with pregnenolone, androstadienol, androstadienone and 5alpha-androstenone was 3beta-androstenol. 16-Androstene steroids that were sulphoconjugated included 5alpha-androstenone, 3beta-androstenol and 3alpha-androstenol. Approximately 70% of the total amount of each 16-androstene steroid was in its sulphoconjugated form after incubations for 4h or more. The finding that sulphoconjugated 5alpha-androstenone was present in large amounts suggests that this steroid may be converted from a 3-keto to a 3-enol form which is subsequently sulphoconjugated. These findings emphasise the need to consider the impact of sulphoconjugation of the 16-androstene steroids and their role in contributing to boar taint. 相似文献

We have combined several key sample preparation steps for the use of a liquid matrix system to provide high analytical sensitivity in automated ultraviolet -- matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation -- mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI-MS). This new sample preparation protocol employs a matrix-mixture which is based on the glycerol matrix-mixture described by Sze et al. The low-femtomole sensitivity that is achievable with this new preparation protocol enables proteomic analysis of protein digests comparable to solid-state matrix systems. For automated data acquisition and analysis, the MALDI performance of this liquid matrix surpasses the conventional solid-state MALDI matrices. Besides the inherent general advantages of liquid samples for automated sample preparation and data acquisition the use of the presented liquid matrix significantly reduces the extent of unspecific ion signals in peptide mass fingerprints compared to typically used solid matrices, such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) or alpha-cyano-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA). In particular, matrix and low-mass ion signals and ion signals resulting from cation adduct formation are dramatically reduced. Consequently, the confidence level of protein identification by peptide mass mapping of in-solution and in-gel digests is generally higher. 相似文献

Over the course of the last decade, a number of investigators have come to appreciate that the surface of a MALDI target, after suitable modification, can be used for selective enrichment of peptides and proteins. More recently, surface‐modified nanoparticles (NPs) that readily co‐crystallize in MALDI matrix, are not ionized by laser desorption/ionization, and do not interfere with MS have attracted interest as alternatives to surface‐modified targets for selective enrichment of peptides and proteins. Surface‐modified targets and NPs facilitate parallel processing of samples, and when used in conjunction with MALDI mass spectrometers with kHz lasers enable development of high‐throughput proteomics platforms. Targets and NPs for reversed phase and ion exchange retention, selective enrichment of glycopeptides, selective enrichment of phosphopeptides, and immunoaffinity MS are described in conjunction with details regarding their preparation and utility. Commercial availability of the reagents and substrates required to prepare surface‐modified targets and NPs is also discussed. 相似文献
