LC-MS technique described here is a new way for the separation and direct determination of UV-Vis insensitive inositol phosphates (InsP(2)-InsP(6)). This circumvents the need of radioisotopic labeling and post-column derivatization techniques. The method involves separation of various enzymatically dephosphorylated derivatives of InsP(6) on C(18)-column using MeOH/H(2)O (30:70 v/v) and their identification using electron spray ionization MS in positive ion mode (+pESI-MS). The LC-MS studies revealed that the purified phytase from Aspergillus niger van Teighem hydrolyzes InsP(6 )in a sequential manner leading to InsP(2 )(InsP(2) x 2Na, t(R) 4.4-4.54 min, base peak m/z 382.9) as the end product.
本文所述的液相色谱-质谱联用(LC-MS)技术是分离和直接测定对紫外-可见光谱不敏感的肌醇磷酸酯(InsP(2)-InsP(6))的一种新方法。这避免了放射性同位素标记和柱后衍生技术的需求。该方法包括使用甲醇/水(30:70 v/v)在C(18)柱上分离InsP(6)的各种酶促去磷酸化衍生物,并使用正离子模式的电喷雾电离质谱(+pESI-MS)对其进行鉴定。LC-MS研究表明,黑曲霉范特伊格姆纯化的植酸酶以连续方式水解InsP(6),最终产物为InsP(2)(InsP(2) x 2Na,保留时间4.4 - 4.54分钟,基峰m/z 382.9)。
