Hitachi Develops Innovative Mass Spectrometry Method for Improving Accuracy in Protein Analysis.Tokyo, Japan, May 17, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Hitachi has developed a mass spectrometry method that improves accuracy in protein analysis. The new method combines two different ionic dissociation methods, collision induced dissociation (CID Cid or Cid Campeador (sĭd, Span. thēth kämpāäthōr`) [Span.,=lord conqueror], d. 1099, Spanish soldier and national hero, whose real name was Rodrigo (or Ruy) Díaz de Vivar. ) and electron capture dissociation In mass spectrometry, electron capture dissociation (ECD) is a method of fragmenting gas phase ions for tandem mass spectrometric analysis (structural elucidation). ECD involves the direct introduction of low energy electrons to trapped gas phase ions. (ECD), to analyze proteins thoroughly by quickly switching the dissociation methods. Accordingly, the volume of amino-acid sequencing data has been increased, improving efficiency in new drug development and research for disease mechanisms. Details of this development will be presented at the 54th Annual Conference on Mass Spectrometry to be held in Osaka on May 18 and at the 54th ASMS ASMS American Society for Mass Spectrometry ASMS Association of Salaried Medical Specialists ASMS Advanced Satellite Mobile Systems ASMS Alabama School of Mathematics and Science ASMS American Society for Mohs Surgery ASMS Arkansas School for Math and Science Conference on Mass Spectrometry to be held in Seattle from May 28.
