A high analytical sensitivity in ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is only achieved if the laser wavelength corresponds to a high optical absorption of the matrix. Laser fluence and the physicochemical properties of the compounds, e.g., the

Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF) of tryptically in-gel digested samples is a well-established protein identification technique for MALDI mass spectrometry but an in-depth PMF evaluation for in-gel digestions of less specific enzymes is still missing. This study demonstrates that the MALDI-LTQ-Orbitrap

Phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) are abundant lipid constituents of the cellular membrane. The amino group of PEs exhibits high reactivity with hypochlorous acid that is generated under inflammatory conditions in vivo. The analysis of the resulting PE mono- and dichloramines is of

Due to its sensitivity, the tolerance of impurities and the simplicity of performance, matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) is increasingly used to analyze lipids from biological sources. Although its detailed role is not understood so

The performance of the recently developed 4-chloro-alpha-cyanocinnamic acid (Cl-CCA) matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) matrix was investigated in comparison to the most widely used matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA). For this purpose, in-solution digestions of standard proteins in
