title: Photocleavable molecule for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry.
abstract: A new photocleavable molecule for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) was designed and synthesized. The molecule exhibited high sensitivity for negative mode MS detection with good chemical stability. The molecule was successfully applied to molecular tag for (LDI-MS). Kinetic measurement of the amidation reaction and monitoring of aminolysis of acetylated sugars were demonstrated with the molecular tag.
