Mass spectrometry (MS) is well accepted technique for the analyses of chemical structures of biological compounds. We have been working to develop methods for determining primary structures and post-translational modifications of proteins by using MS. In conjunction with accumulating protein and gene sequence databases, we are using state-of-the-art MS for large-scale protein identification which is indispensable for proteomics research. We also apply the above developed methods to the structural analysis of micro quantities of peptides, proteins, and their related substances.
