At appropriate matrix:analyte mixing ratios, small to moderate sized analyte ions (lOOO-20OOOu) can fully suppress positively charged matrix ions in matrix-assisted laser desorptiodionization (MALDI) mass spectra. This is true for all matrix species, including radical cations and adducts with proton

Previous modelling of the matrix-assisted laser desorptiodionization (MALDI) process has had to rely on matrix solution optical absorptivities whereas the value for the solid phase is more appropriate. Absorption bands are usually broader for solids than for solutions due to the higher concentration
As recently shown for positive ions (Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 10, 871 (1996)), small to moderate-sized analyte ions (`20 000 Da) can fully suppress all matrix signals in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectra at appropriate matrix:analyte mixing ratios. The technique is
A scheme of matrix ionization in UV matrix-assisted laser desorptiodionization is presented. Excitation to an upper lying electronic singlet state by the absorption of two photons and subsequent thermionic emission by vibronic coupling is proposed as the primary route for the formation of unprotonat
While electrospray (ESI) mass spectrometry has already established its potential for the characterization of noncovalent protein complexes, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI/MS) seemed not to be applicable hitherto because of limitations in matrix chemistry and sam
