Mass spectrometry (MS) is a very powerful instrument that can be used to analyze a wide range of materials such as proteins, peptides, DNA, drugs, and polymers. The process typically involves either chemical or electron (impact) ionization of the analyte. The resulting charged species or fragment is subsequently identified by the detector. Usually, single mass uses source-induced dissociation (SID), whereas mass/mass uses collision-induced dissociation (CID) to analyze the chemical fragmentations Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. While CID is most effective for the analysis of pure substances, multiple-step MS is a powerful technique to get structural data. Analysis of veterinary drugs ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, and oxytetracycline serves to highlight the slight differences between SID and CID. For example, minor differences were observed between ciprofloxacin and oxytetracycline via SID or CID. However, distinct fragmentation patterns were observed for ampicllin depending on the analysis method. Both SID and CID showed similar fragmentation spectra but different signal intensities for chloramphenicol. There are several factors that can influence the fragmentation spectra, such as the collision energy, major precursor ion, electrospray mode (positive or negative), and sample homogeneity. Therefore, one must select a fragmentation method on an empirical and case-by-case basis.

백서심장조직을 trypsin과 collagenase 두가지의 효소를 사용하여 분리하면서 각 효소의 분리효과와 두가지 효소의 복합적 세포분리효과를 조사하였으며 이와 동시에 dimethyl sulfoxide가 세포분리과정 및 단기간 배양중에 세포에 미치는 효과를 조사한 결과를 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 1. 백서심장조직에서 세포를 분리할 때 $4^{\circ}C$ trypsin 18시간 전처치후 $37^{\circ}C$ collagenase 처치한 군에서 세포생존율 세포수확량 및 심근세포 생존율이 가장 높았다. 즉 단일 효소 처리보다는 효소 복합연속 처리가 더 효율적이었다. 2. $37^{\circ}C$ trypsin만으로 세포분리를 하였을 때 세포생존율과 수확량이 가장 낮았다. 3. 백서심장세포의 분리과정과 초기 배양 과정에 세포회복이나 보호에 대한 DMSO의 효과는 인정되지 않았으며 오히려 세포파괴 효과가 높음을 알 수 있었다.

견갑-흉곽 해리는 둔상이나, 견갑부 전외측 방향으로 가해진 강한 견인력에 의해 견갑-흉곽 관절의 붕괴를 야기하는 드문 손상이다. 이 손상은 견갑부에 피부 손상은 없으나 심한 부종, 손상받은 견갑부의 외측이동으로 특징 지어지며, 많은 경우에 다양한 근골격계 손상과 신경혈관 손상이 동반된다. 본원에서는 체포과정에서 발생된 33세 남자환자에서 골절과 혈관 손상이 관찰되지 않은 견갑-흉곽 해리를 경험하였기에, 진단 방법과 임상 양상, 치료 방침을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

루신의 해리상수를 전도도법을 이용하여 온도(15 to 40$^{\circ}$C)와 압력(1~2,500bar)을 변화시키면서 측정했다. 루신의 두가지 해리상수는 온도가 높아지면 모두 증가하였다. 그러나 압력이 높아지면 첫째 해리상수는 증가하였으나 둘째 해리상수는 낮은 온도에서는 감소하고 높은 온도에서는 증가했다. 이들 해리상수를 이용하여 해리반응의 열역학적 성질들을 계산하고 이들 성질로부터 해리반응의 특성을 알아보았다.

The potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the primary and secondary dissociations of the phenylarsane molecular ion (1a) were determined from the quantum chemical calculations using the G3(MP2)//B3LYP method. Several pathways for the loss of $H{\cdot}$ were determined and occurred though rearrangements as well as through direct bond cleavages. The kinetic analysis based on the PES for the primary dissociation showed that the loss of $H_2$ was more favored than the loss of $H{\cdot}$, but the $H{\cdot}$. loss competed with the $H_2$ loss at high energies. The bicyclic isomer, 7-arsa-norcaradiene radical cation, was formed through the 1,2 shift of an $\alpha$-H of 1a and played an important role as an intermediate for the further rearrangements in the loss of $H{\cdot}$ and the losses of $As{\cdot}$ and AsH. The reaction pathways for the formation of the major products in the secondary dissociations of $[M-H]^+$ and $[M-H_2]^{+\cdot}$. were examined. The theoretical prediction explained the previous experimental results for the dissociation at high energies but not the dissociation at low energies.

In the present study, we report that the charge-directed (assisted) peptide dissociation products, such as b- and y-type peptide backbone fragments, were the major products in MS/MS and $MS^3$ applications of some o-TEMPO-Bz-C(O)-peptide ions, while radical-driven dissociation products, such as a/x and c/z-type fragments, were previously shown to be the major products in the free radical initiated peptide sequencing mass spectrometry (FRIPS MS). Those o-TEMPO-Bz-C(O)-peptides share a common feature in their sequences, that is, the peptides do not include an arginine residue that has the highest proton affinity among free amino acids. The appearance of b- and y-type fragments as major products in FRIPS MS can be understood in terms of the so-called "mobile-proton model". When the proton is highly mobilized by the absence of arginine, the chare-directed peptide dissociation pathways appear to be more competitive than the radical-driven dissociation pathways, in our FRIPS experiments.

본 논문에서는 양자 역학적 분자 동역학(Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical-Molecular Dynamics, QM/MM-MD)을 통해 수용액에 녹아 있는 Potassium Thiocyanate의 dynamics를 연구했다. Umbrella sampling technique을 활용하여 association/dissociation에 해당하는 Free energy surface를 구했다. 두 개의 Free energy minimum이 녹아 있는 두 이온의 center of mass 사이의 거리가 $4{\AA}$일 때와 $5{\sim}6{\AA}$ 부근일 때 나타났으며 $4{\AA}$일 때 더 안정 했다. 본 논문에서는 $4{\AA}$일 때를 Contact Ion Pair(CIP) $6{\AA}$일 때를 Dissociation Ion Pair(DlP)라고 칭했다. 이 minimum들이 무엇인 지를 밝혀 내기 위해 추가 연구를 수행하였다. Free energy 상에서 가장 안정 할 때(CIP) solute인 Potassium thiocyanate의 구조를 살펴 봤더니 Potassium ion은 Thiocyanate ion의 Sulfur보다 Nitrogen side를 선호하였다. 그 원인을 알아보기 위해 salvation shell의 구조를 Radial distribution function을 통해 살펴 봤더니 물 분자가 Nitrogen보다 Sulfur와 더 강한 상호작용을 하고 있었다. 그로 인해 Potassium ion이 Nitrogen을 선호한단 결과가 나온 것이다. 한편, 두 번째 minimum은 물 분자가 Potassium 이온과 Thiocyanate 이온 사이에 flexible하게 bridging을 하는 구조였다. 또한 단순 양자 계산을 통해서도 비슷한 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 QM 계산은 0K에서 수행하는 것이기 때문에 엔트로피 효과가 없는 계산이지만 본 연구는 온도 300K로 실제 용매와 가깝게 수행함으로써 고정되어 있는 구조가 아니라 엔트로피와 엔탈피가 균형적으로 존재하는 실제 용액 속에서의 구조를 처음으로 보여주는 것이다.

Two types of glycerolipids [monoacylglycerols (MAG) and cyclitols] were isolated by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography from the methanol extracts of a marine sponge, and analyzed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) in positive-ion mode. FAB mass spectra of these compounds yielded protonated molecules $[M + H]^+$ and abundant sodiated molecules $[M + Na]^+$ from a mixture of 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol and NaI. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by FAB-collisional-induced dissociation (CID)-tandem mass spectrometry. We carried out collision-indused dissociation (CID) of these lipids in B/E-linked scan mode. The CID B/E-linked scan of $[M + H]^+$ and $[M + Na]^+$ precursor ions resulted in the formation of numerous characteristic product ions through a series of dissociative processes. The product ions formed by charge-remote fragmentation (CRF) provided important information for the identification of the acyl chain structure substituted at the glycerol backbone. Some of the product the ions were diagnostic for the presence of a glycerol backbone or acyl chain structure.

Energy flow and C-$H_{methyl}$ and C-$H_{ring}$ bond dissociations in vibrationally excited toluene in the collision with $N_2$ and $O_2$ have been studied by use of classical trajectory procedures. The energy lost by the vibrationally excited toluene upon collision is not large and it increases slowly with increasing total vibrational energy content between 5,000 and 45,000 $cm^{-1}$. Intermolecular energy transfer occurs via both of V-T and V-V transfers. Both of V-T and V-V transfers increase as the total vibrational energy of toluene increases. When the total energy content $E_T$ of toluene is sufficiently high, either C-H bond can dissociate. The C-$H_{methyl}$ dissociation probability is higher than the C-$H_{ring}$ dissociation probability, and that in the collision with $N_2$ is larger than with $O_2$.

Collision-induced dissociation of peptides involves a series of proton-transfer reactions in the activated peptide. To describe the kinetics of energy-variable dissociation, we considered the heat capacity of the peptide and the Marcus-theory-type proton-transfer rate. The peptide ion was activated to the high internal energy states by collision with a target gas in the collision cell. The mobile proton in the activated peptide then migrated from the most stable site to the amide oxygen and subsequently to the amide nitrogen (N-protonated) of the peptide bond to be broken. The N-protonated intermediate proceeded to the product-like complex that dissociated to products. Previous studies have suggested that the proton-transfer equilibria in the activated peptide affect the dissociation kinetics. To take the extent of collisional activation into account, we assumed a soft-sphere collision model, where the relative collision energy was fully available to the internal excitation of a collision complex. In addition, we employed a Marcus-theory-type rate equation to account for the proton-transfer equilibria. Herein, we present results from the integrated thermochemical approach using a tryptic peptide of ubiquitin.
