研究目的
To understand why other studies failed to detect Trp after CBQCA derivatization, by studying the Trp derivatization using MS, by comparing ?uorescence intensity of Trp and Leu after derivatization and by using (cid:3)-cyclodextrin in the buffer as an enhancement factor of the ?uorescence yield.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that Trp can be identified using CBQCA derivatization and CE/LEDIF, despite its low fluorescence yield. The addition of (cid:3)-CD improved the sensitivity of Trp-CBQCA fluorescence detection. The decarboxylation observed during MS analysis occurs in the source of the mass spectrometer, not during the derivatization process.
研究不足
The main limitation is the poor fluorescent yield of the Trp-CBQCA derivative, which makes its identification challenging. Additionally, the decarboxylation of the labeled amino acids in the mass spectrometer source complicates the analysis.
