Reference

　To date, Koichi Tanaka Lab. Adv. Sci.&Tech.(KTLAST) has uploaded several “useful materials” as reference materials for researchers including “MALDI-MS Technical Reports”.
　MALDI can analyze a wide range of compounds including amino acids/peptides/proteins, monosaccharides/sugar chains, conjugated lipids, nucleic acid-related compounds, metabolites, synthetic polymers, etc. However, selecting the appropriate ionization agent -the matrix- for each target compound is essential.
　Over the past 30 years, several hundred matrix candidates have been investigated and developed. The “MALDI Matrix List” is a 4-page compilation of 23 selected matrices including the most recently developed matrices at KTLAST.

　- MALDI Matrix List（1.19MB）

　On October 1, MALDI-MS Technical Reports (Rev. 3.0) were uploaded to assist MALDI-MS researchers and engineers. This time, useful information has been uploaded for bio-chemical and molecular biology researchers.

• Amino Acid Table（150KB）
  Structural information and physical/chemical features of 20 amino acids that compose proteins, listed in an easy-to-use reference chart format.
• Mutation Mass Shifts（227KB）
  Mass differences when mutations occurred in gene information were compared to codon information and shown in a reference chart for 20 amino acids that compose proteins. Divided into Part 1/2 Nominal Mass (simple) and Part 2/2 Monoisotopic Mass (more precise).
