    Notes: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) was used for several small proteins (such as insulin) and for peptides. It was found that the detection efficiencies of MALDI for the insulin B chain and the insulin A chain are drastically different. Similar phenomena were also observed for various types of peptides. The positive-ion signal of MALDI in detecting proteins or peptides was found to be greatly enhanced by the presence of a basic amino acid in their chains. The experimental results indicate that this enhancement may arise from proton transfer in solution by an acid-base reaction between the protein/peptide and matrix molecule. This pre-protonated mechanism provides a low energy barrier for the ionization of peptides in a MALDI process, and greatly reduces the energy threshold of MALDI. Matrix effects on the ionization mechanism are discussed.

    Notes: The most common mutation of the cystic fibrosis gene is characterized by the deletion of three nucleotides that code phenylalanine in the 508 position of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. We report the first measurements by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry for the ΔLF508 mutation in cystic fibrosis carriers and patients. Furthermore, in a blind test, results from the normal and ΔLF508 mutant alleles in 30 clinical samples based on MALDI mass spectrometry and on conventional gel analysis of the DNA were in total agreement. These results demonstrate the utility of MALDI mass spectrometry in the molecular diagnosis of mutant alleles and point to its potential use for ultra-fast detection in large-scale screening of DNA mutations.
