Article Abstract

A platform was developed to analyze MS/MS spectra from large peptides with low part-per-million mass accuracy, including a commercial-grade software suite. Termed Middle Down Proteomics, this platform identified 7454 peptides from 2-20 kDa (1472 unique) from 555 proteins after 23 LC-MS/MS injections of Lys-C digests of HeLa-S3 nuclear proteins. Along with greatly increased confidence for both peptide identification (expectation values from 10(-89) to 10(-4)) and characterization (up to 18% of peptides were modified in some LC-MS/MS runs), fragmentation data with <2 ppm accuracy enabled error tolerant and routine multiplexed database searching-all clearly demonstrated in this study.

A rapid and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method with a wide linear range was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of Vitamin K1 (VK1) trans- and cis- isomers in human plasma. Bovine serum albumin solution (15%) served as a surrogate matrix for preparing the calibrators to establish the quantitative curves. After liquid-liquid extraction, VK1 trans- and cis- isomers in plasma samples were separated on a ChromCore C30 column (15 cm × 4.

Saikosaponin A (SSa) is an oleanane type triterpenoid saponin isolated from Radix Bupleuri (Bupleurum chinense DC). While SSa has demonstrated significant pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidepressant effects, its pharmacokinetic profile remains poorly characterized. This study developed and validated a sensitive LC-MS/MS method for quantifying SSa in rat plasma.

As a critical frontier in forensic science, the profiling of physical evidence characteristics has garnered substantial attention. This study employed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to investigate age-related differences in sebaceous fingermark fatty acid compositions. Fingermark samples from 80 volunteers were analyzed to characterize fatty acid profiles across different age groups.

Introduction: Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to translate information from highly specific domains into lay-digestible terms. Pediatric surgery remains an area in which it is difficult to communicate clinical information in an age-appropriate manner, given the vast diversity in language comprehension levels across patient populations and the complexity of procedures performed. This study evaluates LLMs as tools for generating explanations of common pediatric surgeries to increase efficiency and quality of communication.
