General description

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (α-CHCA) is widely used as a matrix in order to facilitate ionization of peptides and proteins in a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer.

Application

α-CHCA was used as matrix in improving the detection of low concentration protein digests on MALDI-TOF.

Other Notes

Matrix substoncitatioance used in MALDI-MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization MS) peptide analysis in proteomics.
