252-Californium plasma desorption mass spectrometry was applied to the study of five different classes of phospholipids namely phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol. Positive and negative ion spectra were compared to spectra

✦ Synopsis
Fast heavy ions, i.e. fission fragments from a 2 5 2 C f -~~~r ~e , have been used to desorb and ionize peptides and proteins from a sample surface. Masses of the desorbed ions have been determined by the time-of-flight technique. The mass interval of the molecules studied is 1000-14 000 u. Quasi-molecular ions of higher masses than earlier reported have been observed. The results include the detection of quasi-molecular ions of proinsulins, cytochrome-C, ribonuclease and two phospholipases. The general features of mass spectra of proteins using this ionization method are described. Emphasis is put on the discussion of metastable ion decay, neutral components, multiply charged ions, isotopic broadening, and cluster ion formation. Also the precision which can be obtained with a straight time-of-flight mass spectrometer will be discussed. Future applications of the technique are outlined.

This paper presents mass spectral data of eleven aminoglycoside antibiotics by using californium-252 plasma desorption (252Cf PD) mass spectrometry. This mass spectral data could be used to develop a confirmatory method for monitoring aminoglycoside antibiotic residues isolated from food products of
Mass spectra of synthetic porphyrins were recorded using a 252Cf Time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF 21). They proved to be very useful for obtaining structure probes on porphyrins for which very little information was available owing to the presence of paramagnetic ions or to badly resolved NMR s
A new on-target deuteration technique in plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS) is proposed, involving replacing labile hydrogen atoms in a molecule with deuterium atoms. This technique is very simple and allows direct comparison of spectra before and after deuteration for the same probe. The ut
