| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates with nanometer-order cages. Zeolites have high catalytic activity due to the charge imbalance at the Si-O-Al bridging sites, and those sites are compensated typically by such cations as H+ and Na+. Hydroxyl (OH) groups having Brönsted acidity exist in H+-exchanged zeolite. It is well known that the Brönsted acid site is responsible for the various catalytic activities of zeolite. In our recent research, we discovered that zeolite was also applicable to mass spectrometric studies. We have developed a “zeolite matrix,” which is a complex of organic MALDI matrix and zeolite. We succeeded in observing large ion peaks of analyte. In addition, we found that zeolite matrix is applicable to biologically active substances, which cannot be detected by conventional MALDI. We are fully convinced that the zeolite matrix can further improve the applicability of MALDI-MS.
