Mass Spectrometry Week 2 Lab S117 Fall 2011
Overview • Post-Lab: Percent Alcohol in Wine • TurnItIn.com • Working with data sets • Analyzing data sets • Analysis of experimental procedure • Pre-lab: Mass Spectroscopy • Fragmentation • Protein Analysis • Practical matters of lab meeting
Assignments • Sign up for turnitin.com • Formal reports due electronically up to time of lab • One minute24 hours late = 20pt penalty • Give copy of lab notebook to AI in lab
Excel • Working with data sets • Statistical Analysis • Certainty and uncertainty • Measurements • Experimental limit • Reproducibility
Experimental Design • Practical Weaknesses? • Propagation of Error • Was the distillation useful?
Pre-Lab: Mass Spectroscopy Analysis of isotopes!
Nominal Mass and Exact Mass • Nominal Mass: Low resolution • 35Cl = 35 Da • 37Cl = 37 Da • CO = N2 = 28 Da • Exact Mass: High Resolution • CO = 27.9949 Da • N2 = 28.0061 Da
Analysis of Molecules • Parent peak (molecular ion)and fragment peaks • Analysis of fragment patterns useful • Application to Cl2 isovaleraldehyde caffeine
Analysis of Biomolecules • Complex molecules • Molecular mass in kiloDaltons (kDa) • Nobel Prizes for MS of proteins
Mass Spec and Mutations • Sickle Cell Anemia • Point Mutation • How can MS be used to identify Mutations?
Identification of Proteins • Comparison of 2D electrophoresis
Identification of Proteins Trypsin Digest MS Library Mass Spec Purified Protein Mix of Peptides Mass Data of mixture Identity of Protein Example 1 ASR LVMK QQK D ASRLVMKQQKD Example 2 ASRLVKMQKQD
Practical Matters • Meet in chemistry computer lab 006 • Mass Spec lab tours • Dry lab: No special clothing requirements! • Remember formal report and lab notebook
