PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of performing quickly and easily primary structural analysis, even if a protein or a peptide used as a mass spectrometry measuring sample has a disulfide bond. SOLUTION: In this structural analysis procedure of the protein or the peptide, MS analysis of the protein or the peptide is performed by using a reducible material to the disulfide bond as a matrix by a MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization) mass spectrometer capable of analysis of the square or higher of MS, and MS n analysis is performed by using ions which are related to a molecular weight and acquired by the MS analysis as precursor ions, to thereby acquire amino acid sequence information of the protein or the peptide.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sugar chain structure analysis method for identifying a sugar chain having a branching structure, etc. as a structural isomer. SOLUTION: This sugar chain structure analysis method is used for isotope-labelling sugar of part of a sugar chain specimen to be analyzed, capable of having a structural isomer, and performing mass spectrometry on an obtained isotope-labelled sugar chain. Preferably, the chain specimen to be analyzed has branching sugar chains and the sugar chains have the same sugar chain arrangement as each other. Further, it is preferable that end sugar residual groups of the sugar chains are isotope-labelled by using 13 C. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To switch over and perform an analysis capable of obtaining a mass spectrum of a wide range of mass-to-charge ratio in a short measuring time and an analysis capable of obtaining a MS n spectrum useful for analysis of a complicated molecule structure by a single mass spectrometer. SOLUTION: An ion trap part 20 including an ion trap and a second detection part 31 are arranged between an ion introduction part 10 including a MALDI ion source, an extraction electrode 13 to accelerate ions, and an ion optical system 14 to converge ions etc. and a flight tube 34 which has a flight space in which ions are linearly flown. At the time of a normal analysis, an ion flow is stopped by the ion optical system 14 so that it may pass an ion introduction hole 24 and an ion lead-out hole 25, and the flight time is measured using the flight tube 34 interior space, as well as ion trap interior space and the space in the second detection part 31 as a free flight region. At the time of MS n analysis, the ions are trapped in the ion trap once, and the ions discharged after mass separation by the ion trap are detected by the second detection part 31.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To identify the amino acid sequence of each peptide with high accuracy, even if isotope peak groups derived from the plurality of peptides overlap each other, and even when the peak intensities constituting the isotope peak groups are small on MS/MS mass spectra. SOLUTION: When classifying the isotope peak groups of a peptide mixture obtained in MS/MS analysis, an element composition of ions obtained in the MS/MS analysis is estimated, to calculate the intensity ratios of each peak (S13, S14), by assuming that one, two or so on of isotopes are contained in a precursor, after inferring the element composition of precursor ions (S11). The isotope peak group is classified into a class of the isotope number contained in the precursor ions (S20), when the intensity ratios by theoretical calculation has high correlation with the peak intensity ratios, contained in the isotope peak group on the MS/MS mass spectrum actually observed ("YES" in S19), and a peak list is prepared.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of determining quickly and easily the number and the position of disulfide bonds in a protein or a peptide. SOLUTION: This disulfide mapping method of the protein or the peptide is performed as follows: MS of the protein or the peptide is performed by using a reducible material to the disulfide bond by an LI mass spectrometer capable of MS of the square or higher; molecular weight related ions A acquired from the reduced disulfide bond and molecular weight related ions B acquired from the unreduced disulfide bond are acquired; a mass difference between the ions A and the ions B is calculated; the number of the disulfide bonds is estimated from the calculated mass difference; MS n is performed by selecting the ions A and the ions B as precursor ions respectively; product ions a are acquired from the ions A, and product ions b are acquired from the ions B; amino acid sequence information is acquired from product ions a; and a mass number difference between product ions a and the product ions b is determined, to thereby estimate the position of each disulfide bond.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus configuration which cover a wider range of mass dimensions by a single measurement in the MALDI ion trap type mass spectrometer. SOLUTION: A testpiece is irradiated with pulsed laser more than once while changing little by little a time duration between irradiation time t0 of pulsed laser in the MALDI section and period of time t1 when RF voltage is applied to a ring electrode attached in the ion trap section. Subsequently, summing or summing averaging is taken about the resultant mass spectrum obtained in this way. The shorter a time duration between t0 and t1 is, the more often the ion with smaller mass/charge ratio tends to be trapped into the ion trap space 122. A method of making the measurements a lot of times by shifting a time duration in this way thereby allows mass spectrum covering a wider range of mass dimensions to be obtained.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of air layer in a contact surface between a skin surface of an organism and a probe. SOLUTION: In this somatometer for optically measuring an organism while transmitting and receiving the light to/from the organism with a probe 7, an optical matching agent is arranged in an interface between a measuring window 6 provided in an upper part of a probe 7, which is integrally provided with a light radiating part 4 for radiating the visible light or the near infrared ray to a body to be examined and a light receiver part 6 for receiving the light so as to optically measure the organism, and the skin surface of a body to be examined so as to prevent the generation of an air layer in the interface between the measuring window 6 and the skin surface. With this structure, measurement error due to the reflection of the light in an interface between the skin and the air and in an interface between the measuring window and the air can be eliminated. Since the interface between the measuring window 6 and the skin can be easily stabilized by existence of the optical matching agent, measuring time can be shortened, and multiple bodies can be measured in a short time.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform measurement of a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen quickly using a single unit of photo measuring device and prevent incidence of an external turbulent light into the light receiving part of a probe even in the multiple measuring. SOLUTION: A photo-measuring device is equipped with a probe 2 fitted in a single piece with a light projecting part to cast light onto a specimen and a light receiving part to receive the light diffused within the specimen, a supporting part 5 which puts the light projecting part and receiving part in contact with the specimen and supports them by means of grasping the probe, and a light shutoff part 3 which hinders an external turbulent light from being incident to the prove, at least to its light receiving part, whereby measuring is made upon pressing the probe to the specimen by grasping it, and after removal, another measuring point is measured, and in this manner, a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen are made measurable in a short time when incidence of external turbulent light to the light receiving part of the probe is well prevented. Thus inclusion of a measuring error originating from turbulent light is precluded, and also a measuring error associated with a movement of the measuring point precluded, and it is made practicable to measure a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen in a short period of time.
