Latest Patents
April L Jue holds a patent titled "Labeling peptides with tertiary amines and other basic functional groups for improved mass spectrometric analysis." This invention provides methods for enhancing the fragmentation of peptides for mass spectrometry by modifying the peptides with a tagging reagent containing a functional group, such as a tertiary amine. These functional groups possess greater gas-phase basicity than the amide backbone of the peptide. By linking these high gas-phase basicity functional groups to the peptides, the invention leads to higher charge state ions from electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), which fragment more extensively during fragmentation techniques, particularly non-ergodic fragmentation techniques such as electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD). April has 1 patent to her name.
