Pulsed Nano-Electrospray Ionization Applied to Solutions of Angiotensin II, Bradykinin, and Gramicidin S in Water/Acetonitrile (1/1) with the Addition of 1% Acetic Acid and 10 mM Ammonium Acetate
Kenzo Hiraoka, Dilshadbek T. Usmanov, Satoshi Ninomiya, Stephanie Rankin-Turner, Satoko Akashi
In our previous work, pulsed nano-electrospray ionization was applied to aqueous mixtures of 5 × 10−6 M angiotensin II (A), bradykinin (B), and gramicidin S (G). It was found that G was totally suppressed by the presence of A and B.

Several database search methods have been employed in untargeted metabolomics utilizing high-resolution mass spectrometry to comprehensively annotate acquired product ion spectra. Recent technical advancements in in silico analyses have facilitated the sorting of the degree of coincidence between a query product ion spectrum, and the molecular structures in the database.

Comprehensive Membrane N-Glycoproteomics Using Human Breast Cancer Cell Line Pairs
Daisuke Takakura, Haruka Yoshida, Shoko Ohashi, Nana Kawasaki
Aberrant glycosylation of membrane proteins is a hallmark of cancer and a useful molecular marker for the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC). However, the molecular mechanisms by which altered glycosylation affects the malignant transformations associated with BC are poorly understood. Accordingly, we performed comparative

Identification of Negative Ion at m/z 20 Produced by Atmospheric Pressure Corona Discharge Ionization under Ambient Air
Shiho Fujishima, Kanako Sekimoto, Mitsuo Takayama
The negative ion at m/z 20 observed at atmospheric pressure corona discharge ionization mass spectra has been identified by supplying the vapors of deuterium oxide (D2O) and H218O.

A Short-Term Time-Series Data Analysis Algorithm for Flavor Release during the Start of Eating
Takehito Sagawa, Motoshi Sakakura
“Retronasal aroma” refers to the aroma released from food during consumption and traveling through the nose after leaving the mouth. It is closely related to the behavior of odor compounds released from food into the mouth and plays a crucial role in our overall perception of flavor. As a result, research focusing on measuring the behavior of retronasal aroma has gained attention for exploring the relationship between sensory perception and flavor.
