In the 1990 book Analytical Microbiology: Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry 1 ways in which mass spectrometry had been or might be successfully used in microbiology were discussed. The areas of research delineated included (1) identification of bacteria at the species, or strain, level, after pri

โฆ Synopsis
Mass spectrometry-based methodologies span the vast expanse of drug discovery. Both electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) support proteomics-based research projects by identifying proteins separated and isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. MALDI-MS-based surface scanning of one-dimensional isoelectric focusing gels, "virtual 2-D gel electrophoresis," represents a potentially high throughput means to map proteins and to determine protein profiles. Mass spectrometry can also be used to directly study the covalent and noncovalent interactions of drug molecules and biomolecule targets. Drug binding examples discussed include the binding of covalent and noncovalent inhibitors to src SH2 domain protein, and the interaction of aminoglycoside antibiotic neomycin and HIV Tat peptide-TAR RNA.

This chapter will address the applications of protein-based bioinformatics to analysis of microorganisms introduced intact into the instrumental system for rapid processing and analysis. Strategies that require offline extraction and fractionation of proteins will not be discussed. Although the ampl
