Water Circulation and Marine Environment in the Antarctic Traced by Speciation of 129I and 127I
Emissions of anthropogenic 129I from human nuclear activities are now detected in the surface water of the Antarctic seas. Surface seawater samples from the Drake Passage, Bellingshausen, Amundsen, and Ross Seas were analyzed for total 129I and 127I, as ...

Automated processing of whole blood samples for the determination of immunosuppressants by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry [PDF]
Background: Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an efficient technology for routine determination of immunosuppressants in whole blood; however, time-consuming manual sample preparation remains a significant limitation of this ...

Improved mass accuracy for tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
With the emergence of top-down proteomics, the ability to achieve high mass measurement accuracy on tandem MS/MS data will be beneficial for protein identification and characterization. (FT-ICR) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers are the ideal instruments to perform these experiments with their ability to provide high ...

Sucrose gradient chromatin enrichment for quantitative proteomics analysis in budding yeast
Summary: Here, we describe a fractionation protocol optimized to quantify changes in relative abundance of the chromatin-bound proteome (chromatome) by tandem mass tag multiplexing-based tandem mass spectrometry. It has been applied to yeast cells before

BLINK enables ultrafast tandem mass spectrometry cosine similarity scoring
Metabolomics has a long history of using cosine similarity to match experimental tandem mass spectra to databases for compound identification. Here we introduce the Blur-and-Link (BLINK) approach for scoring cosine similarity.

Impact of glucuronide interferences on therapeutic drug monitoring of posaconazole by tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
Background: Posaconazole is a novel antifungal drug for oral application intended especially for therapy of invasive mycoses. Due to variable gastrointestinal absorption, adverse side effects, and suspected drug-drug interactions, therapeutic drug ...
