Pages : 277
Book Description
The efficient analysis of polar and charged metabolites in biological samples remains a huge challenge in the field of metabolomics. Over the past years, novel mass spectrometry-based analytical tools have been developed to enable the sensitive and efficient profiling of polar ionogenic metabolites in various biological samples. This book gives the reader a comprehensive overview of these recent technological developments. Topics covered include the use of chemical labelling strategies for allowing the analysis of polar metabolites using reversed-phase liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) and the latest methodological developments in RPLC-MS, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)-MS and ion-pair LC-MS approaches. Attention is also paid to developments in nano-LC-MS and capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry methods specifically for profiling polar metabolites in small volume biological samples. The utility of ion-mobility MS and NMR spectroscopy will also be outlined. Sample preparation is the key part in the analytical workflow employed for metabolomics. Therefore, ample emphasis will be given on recent solid-phase extraction and solid-phase micro-extraction methods. Finally, analytical techniques for chiral metabolic profiling will also be considered. Discussing the state-of-the-art of the proposed topics in one single book for probing the polar metabolome, using relevant examples, is unique and needed in the metabolomics field. This book has relevance and appeal to an international audience of analytical and biomedical researchers in industry and academia.

Detection and Analysis of Microorganisms by Mass Spectrometry
Author: Liang Qiao
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 183767034X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
In the human body, there are millions of living microorganisms involved in protecting the body from invaders, helping digestion and regulating moods, but there are also harmful pathogens that cause infectious diseases. For instance, the coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused considerable loss of life since its outbreak. Comprehensive analysis and characterization of microbes is of significant importance to understand the function and role of microorganisms, and rapid detection and identification of unknown pathogens are essential in early diagnosis, treatment monitoring and personalized medicine. Mass spectrometry is a technique to ionize molecules and detect the mass-to-charge ratio of the generated ions. The technique is widely used in hospitals for pathogenic bacteria identification, as well as in environmental science and food science for biosafety control. This book summarizes the most recent development of mass spectrometry techniques in microbial analysis, including mass spectrometry-based microbial identification, bacterial antimicrobial resistance study, data mining algorithm development, omics for microbial research, applications in clinical diagnosis, environmental science and food science, and more. It will guide researchers in the field, and those who are about to enter the field, in the most appropriate methods to characterize microbes and enable their detection.

Glycoprotein Analysis
Author: Weston B Struwe
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1839166444
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Glycoproteins are central to numerous cellular processes and are among the most structurally complex biomolecules in nature. This unique complexity stems from variability in complex oligosaccharides that are located throughout the protein, a feature that is profoundly important for regulating biomolecular interactions but also makes glycoproteins difficult to study. As such, glycoprotein analysis entails a range of techniques to bridge the knowledge gap between glycoprotein structure and biological function. This book serves as an authoritative guide to glycoprotein analysis, written by internationally recognised experts in the field and discussed in the context of real-world applications across the life sciences. It provides a wide-ranging assessment of the modern methods, from those used to characterise glycoprotein structure, to approaches proficient in uncovering the molecular mechanisms by which they function as well as those capable of measuring structural dynamics and macromolecular assembly. These methods differ to a large extent and include mass spectrometry, glycan/lectin arrays, nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography. Equally important are computational techniques, including molecular dynamics and bioinformatics, which are also covered and discussed in the wider context of glycoprotein analysis. Glycobiology is indeed a rapidly growing field and the development of advanced tools for glycoproteins analysis has been enabled by researchers from different backgrounds working to overcome long-standing analytical challenges and biological questions involving glycosylation. This book is intended to aid academic and professional researchers at various levels of their career to gain a deeper appreciation of cutting-edge methods in glycoprotein analysis and their applications in biomolecular research, biotherapeutic development, structural biology and biophysical chemistry.

Applications of Mass Spectrometry for the Provision of Forensic Intelligence
Author: Simona Francese
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1837671931
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Mass spectrometry is one of the most versatile analytical techniques due to the vast range of analytes that it can detect and quantify and, as such, for its contribution to a significant number of life science fields. The legal and forensics community has certainly benefited from this technique, which has been able to provide reliable evidence in court cases. Liquid Chromatography/Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC/GC–MS) still have a dominant role in the provision of forensic intelligence. However, in the past decade new and exciting MS-based techniques have emerged and are or have evolved to be at an operational deployment maturity, enabling either fast, ambient, non-destructive, or portable screening (or encompass all of these features). In this book, developments of LC–MS and GC–MS based techniques are covered with respect to operational practice and new applications, accompanied by other MS-based techniques that are increasing forensic opportunities and that operate on a variety of evidence types. Whilst the underpinning working principles of each relevant mass spectrometry technique are summarised, each chapter primarily focuses on its implementation in criminal investigation and court cases. In the last chapters, this book additionally covers emerging MS technologies that are at the beginning of their operational implementation journey as well as niche applications outside the fields of traditional forensic science but with a clear potential to impact future investigations (forensics beyond the courtroom). This book provides an up-to-date reference for the mass spectrometry-based tools that are currently available both as established and as emerging methods within forensic practice. It will help casework commissioning managers and forensic providers worldwide to make more informed decisions as to the forensic strategy and workflow when examining exhibits. It is also recommended to postgraduates and early career investigators with reference to the contribution that these techniques and methods could make if applied to classic forensic science practice.
