<i>In situ</i> derivatization of Au nanoclusters <i>via</i> aurophilic interactions of a triphenylphosphine gold(<scp>i</scp>) salt with neurotransmitters and their rapid MALDI-TOF-MS detection in mice brain tissue extracts

Abstract

can also provide the simultaneous derivatization of various neurotransmitters, including dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NAd), serotonin (5-HT), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), histamine (H) and tyramine (TY), in mice brain tissue extracts, which can be detected in the MALDI-TOF-MS spectra.
