General description

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (α-CHCA) is widely used as a matrix in order to facilitate ionization of peptides and proteins in a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer.

Application

α-CHCA was used as matrix in improving the detection of low concentration protein digests on MALDI-TOF.

Other Notes

Matrix substoncitatioance used in MALDI-MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization MS) peptide analysis in proteomics.

We present a new MALD1 sample preparation technique for peptide analysis using the matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid (CHCA) and prestructured sample supports. The preparation integrates sample purification, based on the affinity of microcrystalline CHCA for peptides, thereby simplifying the analysis of
