Analysis finger printing

Although the spectroscopic parameters prove to be diagnostic for simple finger-print identification of the corresponding species, more attentive analysis of the data contained in Tables 2.7 and 2.8 indicate that there is no correlation between the pNO values and the M—N—O bond angles, for both the mono- and the dinitrosyl complexes. It is then incorrect to attempt assignments of the MNO geometries based on the observed N—O... 

New instrumentation for the analysis of the proteome has been developed including a MALDI hybrid quadrupole time of flight instrument which combines advantages of the mass finger printing and peptide sequencing methods for protein identification (Andersen and Mann 2000).

Figure 9.15 Typical mass spectrometry based experiment for protein identification/characterization. (1) Proteins are fractionated by chromatography, separated by sodium dodeyl sulphate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), then excised from gel (2) the protein of interest is digested into peptide fragments, that are then (3) identified by ESI MS/MS (4) the first dimension involves molecularion analysis for peptide mass finger-printing (ql, MS only). (5) Tandem MS/MS is used when protein identification is not unambiguous, in which case parent molecular ions are activated by CID (q2) and daughter (product) ions are characterized (ToF) according to the technique of product ion scanning (illustration from Aebersold and Mann, 2003, Fig. 1).

Analysis, yielded a well-defined finger-print for these Zn smelting industries they could be characterized by a Zn/Cd factor, in which Cd and Zn were obtained in a 1 212 relative abundancy (De Bruin et al., 1987). 

In addition, a number of advanced analytical techniques, such as low temperature luminescence spectroscopy, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), Fourier-Transform IR-spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry have been successfully applied to PAH analysis. For instance, low temperature luminescence spectrometry, sometimes in combination with laser excitation, was used for the analysis of PAH in various matrices without prior separation, which is attractive especially for screening or finger-printing purposes (10, 73). However, a wider application for routine analysis is at present inhibited by the limited availability of the required equipment. The same remark applies to tandem mass spectrometry, FT-IR spectroscopy and NMR. All three techniques, however, are increasingly used for the detection and identification of novel PAH species and derivatives and efforts are continuing towards coupling IR and NMR as detectors to GC and HPLC (74) respectively. 

In all applications, the general purpose of NNs is to construct some input-output relations and to use these relations to analyze and classify data sets. NNs are now frequently used in many fields as diverse as financial market analysis, optimization tasks like solving the travelling salesman problem, finger print identification, speech recognition, text recognition and weather forecast, " just to mention a few examples. 

As is true of other comparative procedures, this method of analysis requires that the investigator have available authentic samples of the known compounds with which the so-called standard absorption curves can be established. Although the infrared absorption spectra of the six compounds are similar in certain areas, they are strikingly different at those wave lengths of absorption which correspond to their structural dissimilarities. The so-called spectral finger print of the unknown can thus be used as a ready means of establishing identity.
