S-Aminoethylated-alpha A and -beta A globin tryptic peptides separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography have been analysed by plasma desorption mass spectrometry. Almost all the expected alpha A and beta A tryptic fragments were tentatively assigned relative to the known globin chain sequences based on the molecular weight obtained by plasma desorption mass spectrometric analysis of the purified peptides. The application of plasma desorption mass spectrometry for structure elucidation of a haemoglobin alpha-chain variant revealed the first case of Hb Hasharon in Hungary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
