β¦ Synopsis
All types of pyoverdins (siderophores produced by
Pseudomonas strains) have the following 'chromophore' substructure in common: (lS)-5.amino-2,3-dihydro-8,Pdihydro~y-l~-p~mido I 1 , h ] quinoline-lcarboxylic acid. Its hydrolysis product, (lS)-2,3-dihydro-5,8,9-trihydroxy-lH-pyrimido[ 1 , h l quinoline-lcarboxylic acid, has heen isolated and analysed for the first time by means of fast atom bombardment (FAB) and tandem mass spectrometry. This allows the pyoverdin chromophore to be identified. It was established that the fragmentation of pyoverdin [M + HI+ ions under FAB conditions is initiated by a retro-Diels-Alder decomposition of the tetrahydropyrimidine ring of the chromophore moiety, contributing to the structure elucidation of pyoverdins.

The time-course of the HO-induced peroxidation of soybean phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes was monitored over 24 h by UV spectroscopy ( A 233 nm) and by fast-atom bombardment (FAB)-MS (positive-ion mode) and FAB-tandem (mass spectrometry) techniques. At the peak of maximal oxidation, a diagnostic
In this paper, we have shown that it is possible to differentiate an aspartic acid residue from its p-aspartic acid isomer in dipeptides according to the characteristic fragmentation pathways, i.e. specific immonium ion formation and cleavages involving side-chain atoms.
