An approach to the identification of selenium species in yeast extracts using pneumatically-assisted electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

Abstract

An approach to the identification of unknown signals in selenium speciation analysis of yeast by reversed-phase chromatography with ICP-MS detection is described. The analytical strategy was based on: (i), heart-cutting of a Se-containing fraction in the reversed-phase chromatographic eluate followed by its lyophilization; (ii), pneumatically-assisted electrospray (ESI) MS and ESI tandem MS of the lyophilizate; and (iii) confirmation of the fragmentation pattern obtained using the sulfur analogue of the seleno compound that was expected to have been identified. The approach developed allowed the identification of Se–adenosylhomocysteine as the major selenium species in an extract of a selenized yeast sample.
