โœฆ Synopsis

Multiple dimensions of unique molecular structure information can now be obtained from proteins and DNA using mass spectrometry. Less than 10(-16) mol of the active major histocompatibility complex signaling peptide in a mixture of thousands can be identified. For large proteins (> 40 kDa), the high resolving power (> 10(5) and 10(-17) mol sensitivity of Fourier-transform mass spectrometry provide exact molecular weight values (+/- 1 or 2 Da) for mixture components, indicating error or modifications compared with the predicted DNA sequence. Selecting a specific molecular species, its two-dimensional spectrum indicates the part of the molecule that is modified; a three-dimensional spectrum of that fragment further isolates the modification site.

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a nuclear physics technique developed about twenty years ago, that uses the high energy (several MeV) of a tandem Van de Graaff accelerator to measure very small quantities of rare and long-lived isotopes. Elements that are of interest in biomedicine and enviro
