Structural information on oligosaccharides was obtained by post-source decay matrix-assisted laser desorp tion/ionization mass spectrometry. A systematic study of derivatized oligosaccharides showed that products relatively aminated with benzylamine allow the formation of [ M + HI + molecular specie

โฆ Synopsis
An introduction to primary structure analysis of biomolecules by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) post-source decay (PSD) is given, sketching the principles and applications of the method for scientists in molecular biology, biochemistry and biomedicine. The fundamentals of PSD are described in order to explain the potential and limitations of its applicability. Two examples of peptide sequencing of a completely unknown peptide and of a database-listed peptide are presented and the procedure of (non-automated) amino acid sequence elucidation is described.
