A new triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) system with enhanced resolution capabilities has recently become available. In order to evaluate the performance of this new instrument for drug discovery assays, both the linearity and the limit of detection were compared in the positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode with those of a conventional triple-quadrupole instrument supplied by the same manufacturer. For these studies, spiked mouse plasma standard samples were split and assayed by each instrument, which allowed for a direct comparison of the two systems. In the unit mass resolution mode, the new mass spectrometer was found to be at least ten-fold more sensitive than the conventional instrument. The sensitivity of the new mass spectrometer under the enhanced mass resolution mode was found to be even better by another factor of two. For the test compound, the linear dynamic range was found to be 0.05-5000 ng/mL for the new instrument as compared with 2.5-5000 ng/mL for the conventional mass spectrometer.

Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) play crucial roles in various cellular processes. Despite their significance, only a few PTMs have been extensively studied at the proteome level, primarily due to the scarcity of reliable, convenient, and low-cost sensing methods. Here, we present a straightforward and effective strategy for detecting PTMs on short peptides through host-guest interaction-assisted nanopore sensing.

The samples were dissolved in 20% NaCl, extracted with acetonitrile, and purified using silica, PSA, and C. The results showed the excellent linear relationship of the calibration curves of 36 non-phthalate plasticizers in the range of 10-1000 ng mL, with correlation coefficients () not less than 0.

Elucidating the structural dynamics of ligand-stabilized noble metal nanoclusters (NCs) is critical for understanding their properties and for developing applications. Ligand rearrangement at NC surfaces is an important contributor to structural change. In this study, we investigate the dynamic behavior of ligand-protected [Ag(L)] NC's (L = 1,3-benzenedithiol) interacting with secondary ligand 2,2'-[1,4-phenylenebis (methylidynenitrilo)] bis[benzenethiol] (referred to as ).

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a metabolic disease that can progress to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), cirrhosis, and cancer. The zonal distribution of biomolecules in the liver is implicated in mediating the disease progression. Recently, G-protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) has been highlighted to play a role in MASLD, but the precise mechanism is not fully understood, particularly, in a liver-zonal manner.
