Improvement of Ionization Efficiency and Application of Structural Analysis for MALDI-TOFMS by Derivatization of Polyacrylic Acid
Masahiro Hashimoto, Haruo Iwabuchi, Takaya Satoh
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) is a suitable method for polymer analysis. MALDI is a soft ionization technique that can generate mainly singly charged ions. Therefore, the polymer’s molecular weight distribution is easy to analyze, facilitating the calculation of

Improving the Signal Intensity of Cryosections Using a Conductive Adhesive Film in Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Daisuke Saigusa, Ritsumi Saito, Komei Kawamoto, Akira Uruno, Kuniyuki Kano, Shuichi Shimma, Junken Aoki, Masayuki Yamamoto, Tadafumi Kawamoto
The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) technique was used to obtain the molecular images of cryosections without labeling.
Original ArticleDecember 8, 2023
Non-targeted metabolome analysis studies comprehensively acquire product ion spectra from the observed ions by the data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mode of tandem mass spectrometry (MS). A DDA dataset redundantly contains closely similar product ion spectra of metabolites commonly existing among the biological samples analyzed in a metabolome study.

Effect of Phosphorylation on the Collision Cross Sections of Peptide Ions in Ion Mobility Spectrometry
Kosuke Ogata, Chih-Hsiang Chang, Yasushi Ishihama
The insertion of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) between LC and MS can improve peptide identification in both proteomics and phosphoproteomics by providing structural information that is complementary to LC and MS, because IMS
