Nontargeted Profiling of Coenzyme A thioesters
The Zamboni lab demonstrated and applied a method for selective and yet non-targeted profiling of Coenzyme A derivatives in cellular extracts
by
Nicola Zamboni
The novel method uses precursor ion scanning on a triple quad instrument to profile all CoA containing molecules. In the paper, we used the approach to further elucidate the partly unknown catabolic pathways of cholesterol in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
