Mass Spectrometry for Natural Products Research: Challenges, Pitfalls, and Opportunities
A common attitude in natural products research is that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy serves as a primary tool, whereas mass spectrometry (MS) is relegated to the task of providing the molecular formulas of pure compounds. Yet over the past several decades, we have witnessed astonishing growth in MS. Electrospray ionization has enabled the analysis of biological molecules previously deemed intractable, and instruments that offer astounding mass accuracy are becoming routinely available. Nonetheless, as applied to natural products research, MS is still fraught with potential pitfalls. Is MS up to the challenge? More... |

Diagnosing Eye Disorders
Scientists from the Duke Medical Center (North Carolina, USA) and the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami (Florida, USA) have performed liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC–MS) to identify a new diagnostic marker of Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in patient urine samples.1 RP is a disease of the eye that causes retina degradation and can result in blindness. Often inherited, it has multiple contributing genetic mutations and there is no treatment available. More... |
