Mass spectrometry has been applied successfully to the study of non-enzymatic protein glycation, which is a topic of wide interest in the diabetes field. Low- and high-resolution mass spectra, GC/MS, and collisional activation spectroscopy allow the structural identification and quantitative evaluat

β¦ Synopsis
Studies that have been performed by MALDI mass spectrometry in the field of non-enzymatic protein glyco-oxidation are briefly reviewed. The results obtained by in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate the power of this technique, which is able to give information on the number of sugar molecules condensed on specific proteins and, consequently, represents a new and specific diagnostic tool in diabetes control.

## Abstract The structural elucidation of advanced glycation endβproduct (AGE)βmodified proteins and quantitative analysis of free AGEs have been successfully performed, by use of mass spectrometry (MS) in plasma and tissues of patients with AGEβrelated diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, uremia,
Matrix-assisted laser desorptionlionization (MALDI) has been employed for the determination of molecular weights of a-and &globins obtained from blood samples of healthy and diabetic subjects. Glycated species, originating from the reaction of glucose with the proteins, are easily evident. The MALDI
The rates at which hydrogens located at peptide amide linkages in proteins undergo isotopic exchange when a protein is exposed to depend on whether these amide hydrogens are hydrogen bonded and whether they are D 2 O accessible to the aqueous solvent. Hence, amide hydrogen exchange rates are a sensi
We have developed a technique which utilizes matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry to study the subunit association of proteins. Aqueous protein samples are treated with a dilute solution of glutaraldehyde, a cross-linking agent which reacts with free amino groups on proteins. This agen
