 Konstantin Chingin, Vladimir Frankevich, Roman M. Balabin, Konstantin Barylyuk, Huanwen Chen, Rui Wang, Renato Zenobi* In the transfer of nonvolatiles into the gas phase, thermal evaporation is extremely inefficient because of the rapid chemical degradation (left). Generally, nonvolatiles can be brought into the gas phase by soft-ionization methods such as ESI or MALDI for investigation by MS (right). Now a method has been developed to access isolated biomolecules in the gas phase at ambient conditions (center). Online veröffentlicht, DOI: 10.1002/anie.200906213 |
