Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF-MS) is a technique that ionizes biomolecules and determines their masses. It involves mixing a sample with an ultraviolet-absorbing matrix, ionizing the mixture with a laser, accelerating the ions with an electric field, and measuring the time it takes for ions of different masses to travel a fixed distance, enabling mass detection. MALDI-TOF-MS provides highly accurate molecular weight information and has applications in disease diagnosis, quantitative analysis, and characterizing compounds attached to solid supports.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

2. Mass Spectrometer (MS) is an extremely valuable analytical techniques in which the molecules in a test sample are
converted to gaseous ions that are subsequently separated in mass spectrometer according to their mass to charge (m/z)
ratio and detected.
The development of two ionization techniques electrospray (ESI) and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/ionization
(MALDI).
Both enabled the accurate mass determination of high molecular mass compounds as well as low molecular mass and
has revolutionized.
Production of ion in the gas phase.
Acceleration of the ion to a specific velocity in an electrical field.
Separation of the ion in a mass analyzer.
Detection of each species of a particular m/z ratio.
The mass analyzer may separate ion either by use of magnetic and electric field.
Alternatively the time taken for ion of different masses to travel a given distance in space is measured accurately in the
time of fight (TOF) mass spectrometer.
3. Component of a mass spectrometer
1. A high vacuum system (10-6 torr OR 1 µtorr) :- These include turbo-
molecular pumps, diffusion pumps and rotary vane pump.
2. A simple inlet :- This comprise a sample or target plate, HPLC, GC,
direct chemical ionization.
3. An ion source (To convert molecules into gas Phase Ion) :- This can be
MALDI, ESI, FAB (fast atom bombardment) etc.
4. A mass filter / Analyzer :- This can be TOF Quadrupole in trap etc.
5. A detector :- This can be conversion by one multiplier, microchannel
plate or array detector.
4. Principle of Mass Spectrometer
Any moving charged species of mass ‘m’ and velocity ‘v’ will be deflected by an applied
magnetic field.
The magnitude of this deflection will depend on the momentum, µ of the species which
is given by equation.
µ=mv
Species with large momentum are deflected less than those with small momentum.
If a stream of atom and small molecules of identical velocity and charge but different in
mass in the gaseous phase is passed through a magnetic field , the deflection
experienced by each atom or molecules depends on its mass.
This deflection can therefore provide an accurate measure of mass.

6. MALDI- Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization
MALDI-MS, 1st introduced in 1988 by Hillenkamp and Karas.
In MALDI analysis, the analyte is 1st co-cryslallized with a large molar excess of a
matrix compound, usually an usually an ultraviolet absorbing weak organic acids after
which laser radiation of this analyte, vaporization of the matrix which carries the analyte
with it.
The matrix therefore plays a key role by strongly absorbing the laser energy and causing
indirectly, the analyte to vaporize.
The matrix also serves as a proton donor and receptor, activating to ionize the analyte in
both +Ve and –Ve ionization made.

8. TOF- Time Of Flight
Time of flight analyzer which measures the time required for each ion to
travel to the end of the tube called the drift tube where they are detected.
The time required for each ion to arrive at the detector is measured and from
this the m/z is calculated.
9. 1. Sample mixed with matrix is dried on the target
plate which is introduced into high-vacuum
chamber.
2. The camera allows viewing of the position of the
laser beam which can be tracked to optimize the
signal.
3. The sample/matrix is irradiated with laser pulses.
4. The clock is started to measure time-of-flight.
5. Ions are accelerated by the electric field to the
same kinetic energy and are separated according to
mass as they fly through the flight tube.
6. Ions strike the detector either in linear (dashed
arrow) or reflectron (full arrows) mode at different
times, depending on their m/z ratio.
7. A data system controls instrument parameters,
acquires signal versus time and processes the data.
10. Mechanism of MALDI
MALDI provides for the non destructive vaporization and ionization of both large and
small biomolecules.
The analyte is 1st co-crystallized with a large molar excess of a matrix compound,
usually a UV absorbing weak organic acids.
The matrix Play a key role by strongly absorbing the laser light energy and causing,
indirectly the analyte to vaporize.
The matrix play also serve as a proton donor and receptor, acting to ionize the analyte in
both +Ve and –Ve ionization respectively.

I. A linear time of flight (TOF)
II. TOF reflectron
III. Fourier transform mass analyzer
TOF analysis is based on accelerating a set of ions to a detector where all of the ions are
given the same amount of energy.
Because the ions have the same energy, yet a different mass, the ion reach the detector at
different times.
The smaller ion reach the detector 1st because of their grater velocity while the large ion
take longer time to their larger mass.
The analyzer is called TOF because the mass is determined from the ion’s time of flight
The arrival time at the detector is dependent upon the mass, charge and kinetic energy
(KE) of the ion.
Since KE is equal to ½mv² or velocity v = (2KE/m)½ ion will travel a given distance, d
within a time ‘t’ where t is dependent upon their mass to charge ratio (m/z).
12. TOF reflectron :-
In the reflector mode, the fragment that does not retain the charge (neutral, denoted by 0°) is
not deflected in the reflector but the charged fragments (•+) are deflected according to their
m/z and a spectrum of the fragment (daughter) ions is recorded, albeit of a limited m/z range
for each setting of the reflector voltages.
13. Fourier Transform Mass Analyzer :-
The recent development of Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass
spectrometry has great potential in analysis of a wide range of biomolecules.
It is potentially the most sensitive mass spectrometric technique and has very high mass
resolution; >106 is observable with most instruments.
The instrument also allows tandem MS to be carried out. The ions can be generated by a
variety of techniques, such as an ESI or a MALDI source.
FT-ICR MS is based on the principle of ions, which while orbiting in a magnetic field, are
excited by radio frequency (RF) signals. As a result, the ions produce a detectable image
current on the cell in which they are trapped.
