Accelerating photofragmentation UV Spectroscopy–Mass spectrometry fingerprinting for quantification of isomeric peptides

Oleg Boyarkine, Erik Saparbayev, Elizaveta Solovyeva

Identification of isomeric biomolecules remains a challenging analytical problem. A recently developed spectroscopic method that combines UV photofragmentation and mass spectrometry for fingerprinting of cold ions (2D UV-MS), has already demonstrated its h ...

Unravelling the structures of sodiated beta-cyclodextrin and its fragments

Thomas Rizzo, Robert Paul Pellegrinelli, Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Ali H Abikhodr

We present cryogenic infrared spectra of sodiated beta-cyclodextrin beta-CD + Na, a common cyclic oligosaccharide, and its main dissociation products upon collision-induced dissociation (CID). We characterize the parent ions using high-resolution ion ...

An Experimental Setup for Heterogeneous Catalysis on Atomically Defined Metal Nanostructures

Jean-Guillaume De Groot

The main objective of this PhD thesis is to link the atomic scale structure to the catalytic properties of self-assembled nanostructures. The growth and characterization of these nanostructures was carried out in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber initiall ...

Identifying Mixtures of Isomeric Human Milk Oligosaccharides by the Decomposition of IR Spectral Fingerprints

Thomas Rizzo, Ahmed Ben Faleh, Stephan Warnke, Ali H Abikhodr, Vasyl Yatsyna

The analysis of glycans presents a significant challenge that arises from their isomeric heterogeneity. While high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has shown the ability to resolve subtly different glycan isomers, their unambiguous assignment rem ...

Rapid Noninvasive Skin Monitoring by Surface Mass Recording and Data Learning

Hubert Girault, Horst Pick, Natalia Gasilova, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Tzu-En Lin, Yingdi Zhu, Milica Jovic

Skin problems are often overlooked due to a lack of robust and patient-friendly monitoring tools. Herein, we report a rapid, noninvasive, and high-throughput analytical chemical methodology, aiming at real-time monitoring of skin conditions and early detec ...

Formation of transformation products during ozonation of secondary wastewater effluent and their fate in post-treatment: From laboratory-to full-scale

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation is increasingly applied in water and wastewater treatment for the abatement of micropollutants (MPs). However, the transformation products formed during ozonation (OTPs) and their fate in biological or sorptive post-treatments is largely unknown. ...

The fragmentation mechanism of gold nanoparticles in water under femtosecond laser irradiation

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Pavel Olshin, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Jonathan Mark Voss, Chengcheng Yan

Plasmonic nanoparticles in aqueous solution have long been known to fragment under irradiation with intense ultrafast laser pulses, creating progeny particles with diameters of a few nanometers. However, the mechanism of this process is still intensely deb ...

Online Aerosol Chemical Characterization by Extractive Electrospray Ionization-Ultrahigh-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (EESI-Orbitrap)

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad

Current mass spectrometry techniques for the online measurement of organic aerosol (OA) composition are subjected to either thermal/ionization-induced artifacts or limited mass resolving power, hindering accurate molecular characterization. Here, we combin ...

Real-Time Detection of Aerosol Metals Using Online Extractive Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Christian Ludwig, Mohamed Tarik, Houssni Lamkaddam

Metal emissions are of major environmental and practical concern because of their highly toxic effects on human health and ecosystems. Current technologies available in the market for their detection are typically limited by a time resolution of 1 h or lon ...

Near-infrared reversible photoswitching of an isolated azobenzene-stilbene dye

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Gabriel Da Silva

Photoswitching of a charged azobenzene-stilbene dye is investigated through laser excitation in a tandem ion mobility mass spectrometer. Action spectra associated with E -> Z and Z -> E photoisomerisation of the stilbene group exhibit bands at 685 and 440 ...

Spectroscopic Evidence for Peptide-Bond-Selective Ultraviolet Photodissociation

Oleg Boyarkine, Vladimir Kopysov, Aleksandr Pereverzev

We study the photodissociation induced by ultraviolet excitation of amide bonds in gas-phase protonated peptides. Jointly, mass spectrometry and cold ion spectroscopy provide evidence for a selective non-statistical dissociation of specific peptide bonds i ...
