Bioactive molecules play an important role in the maintenance and regulation of life. Hormones are a typical example. Some organisms also utilize bioactive molecules in their interactions with others, including antimicrobial substances, toxins, and pheromones. Since these molecules often show highly selective actions, they are expected to be applied as therapeutic agents and agrochemicals. In this session, we will discuss the role of mass spectrometry in the structural determination, quantification, activity measurement, and elucidation of the action mechanism of bioactive molecules.
