β-carboline alkaloids as matrices for UV-matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in positive and negative ion modes. Analysis of proteins of high molecular mass, and of cyclic and acyclic oligosaccharides

We report that commercially available β-carbolines (nor-harmane (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole), harmane (1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole), harmine (7-methoxy-1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole), harmol (1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-7-d]), harmaline (3,4-dihydro-7-methoxy-1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole) an...
