Abstract
In part I of this article, we discussed the theory and operational features of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Herein, we survey a few common applications of ESI-MS. The symbiotic relationship between biological chemists and mass spectrometrists has lead to rapid development of commercial ESI-MS systems and their utilization by an ever growing number of researchers. It is our hope in this article to answer the question: What do ESI-MS measurements tell researchers and how does this information assist their research?

Rapid Multistep Synthesis of a Bioactive Peptidomimetic Oligomer for the Undergraduate Laboratory
Yeliz Utku, Abhinav Rohatgi, Barney Yoo and Kent Kirshenbaum, Ronald N. Zuckermann, Nicola L. PohlJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (6), 637-639Rapid Multistep Synthesis of a Bioactive Peptidomimetic Oligomer for the Undergraduate Laboratory
Yeliz Utku, Abhinav Rohatgi, Barney Yoo and Kent Kirshenbaum, Ronald N. Zuckermann, Nicola L. PohlJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (6), 637-639Peptidomimetic compounds are increasingly important in drug-discovery applications. We introduce the synthesis of an N-substituted glycine oligomer, a bioactive “peptoid” trimer. The six-step protocol is conducted on solid-phase resin, enabling the ...

The approach is based on azido peptides with an optimized sequence which are then thiol-functionalized using an alkynyl thiol and “...

Illustrating the Concepts of Isotopes and Mass Spectrometry in Introductory Courses: A MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Laboratory Experiment
Nancy Carter Dopke and Timothy Neal LovettJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (12), 1968Illustrating the Concepts of Isotopes and Mass Spectrometry in Introductory Courses: A MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Laboratory Experiment
Nancy Carter Dopke and Timothy Neal LovettJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (12), 1968Mass spectrometry is a widely used and versatile tool for scientists in many different fields. Soft ionization techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) allow for the analysis of biomolecules, polymers, and clusters. This ...
