MALDI-MS Analysis of Folates in Bacteria

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell pellets normalized by weight from wild‐type and mutant L. reuteri strains were washed with ice‐cold PBS and water. Folates were extracted by washing with 50% acetonitrile/0.1% v/v TFA. The cell suspension was centrifuged for 10 min, 4000g at 4°C. Samples were prepared with α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic acid as MALDI matrix, spotted onto a sample plate, dried, and analyzed on a prOTOF2000 MALDI mass spectrometer (PerkinElmer/Sciex, Boston, MA) or on a SimulTOF Combo 200 MALDI mass spectrometer (Virgin Instruments Marlborough, MA). For MS/MS fragmentation analysis, the same MALDI sample plate was subsequently transferred into a self‐built MALDI quadrupole ion trap that was based on a modified LCQ DECA iontrap (Thermo Waltham, MA) (Krutchinsky et al. 2001). Tetrahydrofolate ions were fragmented with a 4 Da selection window, 30% collision energy, a fixed ion trap injection time of 200 msec, and a 2–10‐hz laser repetition rate.

Elucidation of Positive-Ion Precursors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formation of the positive-ion precursors, via protonation, was achieved by ESI from 1:1 acetonitrile/water by direct infusion (5 μL/min). Low resolving-power MS and CA (MS/MS and MS3) were with a Thermo LCQ Deca Ion-Trap (San Jose, CA) as survey experiments. Analogous high resolving-power experiments were performed with a Thermo LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer operated in the positive-ion mode (RP for product ions was 30000 for both MS/MS and MS3). To track fragmentation, acidic H atoms were replaced with D, in a 1:1 D2O/acetonitrile mixture and introduced by direct infusion, ionized by ESI, and analyzed.

Positive-ion Mode Mass Spectrometry Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ESI mass spectra of the compounds were obtained by direct infusion (5
μL/min) using a dilute solution of the amines in a 1:1 mixture of
acetonitrile/water. The low mass resolving-power MS and CAD (MS/MS) experiments
using helium as collision gas were performed with a Thermo LCQ Deca Ion-Trap
(San Jose, CA) mass spectrometer operated in the positive-ion mode. Dry nitrogen
gas at 90 0C was used for desolvation. High mass resolving-power CAD
(collision gas – helium) experiments were performed with a Thermo
LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer operated in the positive-ion mode (resolving
power for product ions was 30,000 for MS/MS). The collision energy was adjusted
to keep the abundances of the precursor ion and the most abundant product ion to
be similar.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
