Conventional mass spectrometry analyses were performed on a hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) analyzer (QSTAR Pulsar I; AB Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA). Reaction samples were analyzed by direct infusion and ionized by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) with methanol as the mobile phase in positive reflector mode. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) analysis was carried out by flow injection analysis combined with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (FIA-ESI-MS) on an Agilent G6530A accurate-mass Q-TOF liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The sample was directly infused and ionized by ESI in negative reflector mode. Ionization was enhanced by JetStream technology, and the mobile phase was 99.9:0.1 (vol/vol) H2O–formic acid. Data were processed with MassHunter Data Acquisition B.05.01 and MassHunter Qualitative Analysis B.07.00 software (Agilent Technologies).

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry of Soil Fractions

The same pseudoinclusion-rich, dark fraction and pseudoinclusion-void, light fraction used in the FT-IR analysis were used here. Mass spectra were obtained using an ultra-high-resolution QTOF instrument (QSTAR Pulsar i, ABSciex) at the SIdI (UAM). The extraction was carried out with water and the samples were dissolved in methanol for their ionization and introduced in the mass spectrometer to 20 ul/min with an infusion pump. Electrospray ionization source in positive mode was used for all the analyses and the parameters were adjusted as follows: capillary voltage 5500 V, focusing Potential 210 V, declustering potential 30 V. Nitrogen was used as nebulizer gas (pressure of 10 Bar) and the scans of MS spectra were conducted in the m/z range of 50 to 2000. For accurate high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) internal calibration was performed after analysis. A tandem mass spectrometry (MSMS) fragmentation spectrum of m/z 359.23 peak has been performed to determine parts of the molecule. The accurate masses obtained were processed using the elemental composition calculator incorporated in the Data Analysis Software (ABSciex) (https://sciex.com/products/software/analyst-software).

Proteomic Analysis of Gel Bands

Analysis of Gel Bands was carried out at the Proteomic Facility, SBBS, Durham University as follow: Spots of diameter 1.5 mm were excised from selected gel bands and transferred to a microtitre plate for trypsin digestion using a Pro Gest Investigator™ automated workstation (Genomic Solutions). Samples were digested with the standard Pro Gest long trypsin protocol supplied with the instrument, using iodoacetamide for cysteine derivatization. Final eluates were dried in a vacuum centrifuge and residues resuspended in 0.2% formic acid before dilution to 2% ACN, 0.1% formic acid. Peptides were then analyzed by nano-LC MS/MS using an Ultimate 3000 LC system (Dionex) linked to a Q-TOF mass spectrometer (QStar Pulsar i, AB SCIEX) via a nanospray source (Protana) with a PicoTip silica emitter (New Objective). Samples were loaded via a Zorbax300SB-C18 5 × 0.3 mm column (Agilent) and peptides resolved using an Acclaim® PepMap 100 C18 column 75 μm × 15 cm (Thermo Scientific). A linear gradient of 4–32% ACN in 0.1% formic acid over 47 min at a flow rate of 300 nL/min was run and the remaining peptides were then eluted with 72% ACN, 0.1% formic acid. MS and MS/MS data were acquired using Analyst QS software version 1.1, switching between 1 s survey and 3 × 3 s product ion scans during peptide elution. Ions with charge state 2+ to 4+ and TIC > 10 counts were selected for fragmentation.

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.
