High-energy electron transfer dissociation (HE-ETD) using alkali metal targets for sequence analysis of post-translational peptides
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are important in the activation, localization, and regulation of protein function in vivo. The usefulness of electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron...

Desorption/Ionization Efficiency of Peptides Containing Disulfide Bonds in Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry
In order to elucidate the role of desorption/ionization efficiency of peptides in MALDI-MS, we focused on peptides with disulfide bonds, which form a rigid tertiary structure. We synthesized seven sets of pept...

Sensing of ozone based on its quenching effect on the photoluminescence of CdSe-based core-shell quantum dots
Thin films of CdSe-based core-shell type quantum dots (CdSe/CdZnS, CdSe/ZnS and CdSeTe/ZnS) deposited on glass substrate were found to undergo a reversible change in photoluminescence (PL) on exposure to ozone...

Development of Technologies for Sensing Ozone in Ambient Air
Ozone (O3) gas is widely used as a strong oxidizing agent for many purposes, such as the decomposition/removal of organic contaminants and photoresist, and the deodorization/disinfection of air and water. However...

Photoluminescent Ozone Sensor with Enhanced Sensitivity by Using CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots Modified with Gold and Platinum
We report photoluminescence-based ozone sensing using composite films composed of gold or platinum and red-emitting CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots. The sensing efficiency of quantum dots is enhanced by the a...
