摘要:
The oxidation reaction of a laccase mediator ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) was studied by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICRMS). Oxidation products of ABTS were measured after reaction times that varied from a few minutes up to several days and both positive and negative ionization modes were employed. Exact mass measurements and collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments were used to characterize the structures of the ions formed. After reacting with Trametes versicolor laccase (TvL), the radical cation form of ABTS was the main product observed by the positive ionization mode. Negative ionization mode experiments revealed that a degradation product from ABTS was formed. Copyright (C) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
