MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of archaebacterial lipids in lyophilized membranes dry-mixed with 9-aminoacridine

A method of direct lipid analysis by MALDI mass spectrometry in intact membranes, without prior extraction/separation steps, is described. The purple membrane isolated from the extremely halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum was selected as model membrane. Lyophilized purple membrane were grin...
