Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen whose pathogenesis involves the synthesis of cell wall associated virulence factors and secreted toxins with damaging effects on the host cells. Most of these pathogenic factors are synthesized in a growth-phase dependent manner as a response to e

The ionization of nucleosides in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was systematically investigated using adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C) with several common matrices. Experimental results of the protonation and deprotonation of the ba
Chemical degradation methods combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and post-source decay (PSD)-MALDI reflex TOF mass spectrometry (MS) were used to determine the sequence of a peptide branched on to a known peptide backbone. This study was applied to a
