Development of a Mass Spectrometry Imaging Method to Evaluate the Penetration of Moisturizing Components Coated on Surgical Gloves into Artificial Membranes
Erika Nagano, Kazuki Odake, Toru Akiyoshi, Shuichi Shimma
Skin dryness and irritant contact dermatitis induced by the prolonged use of surgical gloves are issues faced by physicians. To address these concerns, manufacturers have introduced surgical gloves that incorporate a moisturizing component on their inner surface, resulting in documented results showing a reduction in hand dermatitis.
ReviewFebruary 27, 2024
Among the most typical posttranslational modifications is glycosylation, which often involves the covalent binding of an oligosaccharide (glycan) to either an asparagine (N-linked) or a serine/threonine (O-linked) residue. Studies imply that the N-glycan portion of a glycoprotein could serve as a particular disease biomarker rather than the protein itself because N-linked glycans have been widely recognized to evolve with the advancement of tumors and other diseases.

Mobilize a Proton to Transform the Collision-Induced Dissociation Spectral Pattern of a Cyclic Peptide
Takemichi Nakamura, Yayoi Hongo, Ken-ichi Harada
The collision-induced dissociation (CID) behaviors of protonated molecules of anabaenopeptins, a group of cyanobacterial cyclic peptides, were investigated in detail using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Although anabaenopeptin A and B share a macrocyclic peptide structure, they give strikingly different fragmentation patterns; the former gives a variety of product ions including cleavages in the cyclic peptide structure, which is useful for structural analysis; whereas the latter gives far fewer product ions and no fragmentation in the cyclic moiety.

Effect of Phosphorylation on the Collision Cross Sections of Peptide Ions in Ion Mobility Spectrometry
Kosuke Ogata, Chih-Hsiang Chang, Yasushi Ishihama
The insertion of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) between LC and MS can improve peptide identification in both proteomics and phosphoproteomics by providing structural information that is complementary to LC and MS, because IMS
