Development and improvement of MALDI matrices for biopolymer analyses
Matrices have a key role in detecting target molecules with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). I have reported matrices for glycopeptides, carbohydrates, phosphopeptides, disulfide peptides and hydrophobic peptides that are difficult to detect in MALDI-MS. Herein, my previous studies on development of matrices for biopolymers are summarized.
