Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been utilized to obtain accurate mass measurements of intact PCR products; however, single-stranded PCR products are necessary to detect sequence modifications such as base substitutions, additions or deletions. The locations of these modifications can subsequently be determined using additional stages of mass spectrometry. The recombinant enzyme lambda exonuclease selectively digests one strand of a DNA duplex from a 5' phosphorylated end leaving the complementary strand intact. Using this rapid enzymatic step, we were able to produce single-stranded PCR products by digestion of an intact PCR product derived from the Human Tyrosine Hydroxylase (HUMTHO1) gene, which contains a tetrameric repeating motif. The non-template directed 3' adenylation common when using Taq polymerase resulted in three distinct species (blunt-ended, mono-adenylated and di-adenylated), which added complexity to the spectrum of the double-stranded product. The data from the single-stranded products shows that one strand is preferentially adenylated over the other, which cannot be determined from the mass spectrum of the double-stranded PCR product alone. The ESI-FTICR (Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance) mass spectra of the lambda exonuclease treated PCR products exhibited less than expected signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios. This is attributed to inaccurate concentration calculations due to remaining double-stranded PCR product amplified with unphosphorylated primers, and to matrix effects contributed by the lambda exonuclease reaction buffer. To further test this hypothesis, we investigated and determined the limit of detection to be 0.27 microM using standard curve statistics for single acquisitions of a synthetic 75-mer. The concentrations of the noncoding and coding strands produced by lambda exonuclease digestion were calculated to be 0.29 and 0.37 microM, respectively, taking into account the presence of double-stranded product. The products were electrosprayed from concentrations at the limit of detection requiring the averaging of 5-10 acquisitions to produce a sufficient S/N ratio, indicating that product concentration, base composition and matrix effects play a combined, significant role in detection of lambda exonuclease treated PCR products. Although additional work will be required to further exploit this strategy, lambda exonuclease clearly provides mass spectrometrists with a method to generate single-stranded PCR products. 相似文献

Background
There is great interest in appropriate phenotypes that serve as indicator of genetically transmitted frontal (dys)function, such as ADHD. Here we investigate the ability to deal with response conflict, and we ask to what extent performance variation on response interference tasks is caused by genetic variation. We tested a large sample of 12-year old monozygotic and dizygotic twins on two well-known and closely related response interference tasks; the color Stroop task and the Eriksen flanker task. Using structural equation modelling we assessed the heritability of several performance indices derived from those tasks. 相似文献7.

Background
In the field of auditory neuroscience, much research has focused on the neural processes underlying human sound localization. A recent magnetoencephalography (MEG) study investigated localization-related brain activity by measuring the N1m event-related response originating in the auditory cortex. It was found that the dynamic range of the right-hemispheric N1m response, defined as the mean difference in response magnitude between contralateral and ipsilateral stimulation, reflects cortical activity related to the discrimination of horizontal sound direction. Interestingly, the results also suggested that the presence of realistic spectral information within horizontally located spatial sounds resulted in a larger right-hemispheric N1m dynamic range. Spectral cues being predominant at high frequencies, the present study further investigated the issue by removing frequencies from the spatial stimuli with low-pass filtering. This resulted in a stepwise elimination of direction-specific spectral information. Interaural time and level differences were kept constant. The original, unfiltered stimuli were broadband noise signals presented from five frontal horizontal directions and binaurally recorded for eight human subjects with miniature microphones placed in each subject's ear canals. Stimuli were presented to the subjects during MEG registration and in a behavioral listening experiment. 相似文献8.

Electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICRMS) has been used to determine the mass of a double-stranded 500 base-pair (bp) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product with an average theoretical mass of the blunt-ended (i.e. unadenylated) species of 308 859.35 Da. The PCR product was generated from the linearized bacteriophage Lambda genome which is a double-stranded template. Utilization of ethanol precipitation in tandem with a rapid microdialysis step to purify and desalt the PCR product was crucial to obtain a precise mass measurement. The PCR product (0.8 pmol/μL) was electrosprayed from a solution containing 75% acetonitrile, 25 mM piperidine, and 25 mM imidazole and was infused at a rate of 200 nL/min. The average molecular mass and the corresponding precision were determined using the charge-states ranging from 172 to 235 net negative charges. The experimental mass and corresponding precision (reported as the 95% confidence interval of the mean) was 309 406 +/- 27 Da (87 ppm). The mass accuracy was compromised due to the fact that the PCR generates multiple products when using Taq polymerase due to the non-template directed 3'-adenylation. This results in a mixture of three PCR products with nearly identical mass (i.e. blunt-ended, mono-adenylated and di-adenylated) with unknown relative abundances that were not resolved in the spectrum. Thus, the experimental mass will be a weighted average of the three species which, under our experimental conditions, reflects a nearly equal concentration of the mono- and di-adenylated species. This report demonstrates that precise mass measurements of PCR products up to 309 kDa (500 bp) can be routinely obtained by ESI-FTICR requiring low femtomole amounts.
