Quantification absolute

The example shown before is fine if all you want to know is the relative proportions of compounds in your solution. If you know the absolute concentration of one of the components, then you can work out the absolute concentration of the other as a result.

PTR-MS combines a soft, sensitive and efficient mode of chemical ionisation, adapted to the analysis of trace VOCs. Briefly, headspace gas is continuously introduced into the chemical ionisation cell, which contains besides buffer-gas a controlled ion density of H3O. VOCs that have proton affinities larger than water (proton affinity of H2O is 166.5 kcal/mol) are ionised by proton transfer from H3O+, and the protonated VOCs are mass-analysed. The chemical ionisation source was specifically designed to achieve versatility, high sensitivity and little fragmentation, and to allow for absolute quantification of VOCs. To... 

Curie point pyrolysis mass spectrometry has also been valuable in providing information about the chemical types that are evolved during the thermal decomposition of coal (Tromp et al., 1988) and, by inference, about the nature of the potential chemical types in coal. However, absolute quantification of the product mixtures is not possible, due to the small sample size, but the composition of the pyrolysis, product mix can give valuable information about the metamorphosis of the coal precursors and on the development of the molecular structure of coal during maturation. However, as with any pyrolysis, it is very important to recognize the nature and effect that any secondary reactions have on the nature of the volatile fragments, not only individually but also collectively.

Various quantitative and statistical validation processes have been described, accounting for the fact that SpCs tend to be small numbers and vary due to the partial stochasticity of the process. In the example datasets included in this chapter, the relationship between the SpC and protein abundance obtained experimentally is shown in Figure 2, demonstrating that many proteins in bacterial cells are low in abundance while a small subset are highly abundant. Several studies have compared label-free with labeling methods or assessed its statistical validity (93-95). Overall, SpC alone should not be used as a means for absolute quantification (92,96), but it is quite adequate for...

Proteomics is complicated by the fact that the absolute quantification does not always reflect the molecular function of proteins, because protein activities are highly regulated post-translationally. Post-translational modifications modulate the function of proteins and thus directly impact their capacity to participate in cellular regulatory events (Cravatt and Sorensen 2000). Due to post-translational modifications, the numbers of proteins in human are estimated to be at least three times the amount of genes. Therefore, the elucidation of protein post-translational modifications is the most important justification for biochemical and structural relationships. Hence, these modifications need to be evaluated.

In comparison with NMR, mass spectrometry is more sensitive and, thus, can be used for compounds of lower concentration. While it is easily possible to measure picomoles of compounds, detection limits at the attomole levels can be reached. Mass spectrometry also has the ability to identify compounds through elucidation of their chemical structure by MS/MS and determination of their exact masses. This is true at least for compounds below 500 Da, the limit at which very high-resolution mass spectrometry can unambiguously determine the elemental composition. In 2005, this could only be done by FTICR. Orbitrap appears to be a good alternative, with a more limited mass range but a better signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, mass spectrometry allows relative concentration determinations to be made between samples with a dynamic range of about 10000. Absolute quantification is also possible but needs reference compounds to be used. It should be mentioned that if mass spectrometry is an important technique for metabolome analysis, another key tool is specific software to manipulate, summarize and analyse the complex multivariant data obtained.
