چکیده

This communication reports the identification of gas phase isomers in monolayer-protected silver clusters. Two different isomers of Ag11(SG)7(-) (SG-gulathione thiolate) with different drift times have been detected using combined electrospray ionization (ESI) and ion mobility (IM) mass spectrometry (MS). Surface induced dissociation (SID) of the 3(-) charge state of such clusters shows charge stripping to give the 1(-) charged ion with some sodium attachment, in addition to fragmentation. SID and collision induced dissociation (CID) for Ag11(SG)7(-) suggest different pathways being accessed with each method. SID was introduced for the first time for the study of monolayer-protected clusters.

A novel approach to collision-induced dissociation (CID) for ion mobility-mass spectrometry experiments.

Collision induced dissociation (CID) combined with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (MALDI-IM-MS) is described. In this approach, peptide ions are separated on the basis of mobility in a 15 cm drift cell. Following mobility separation, the ions exit the drift cell and enter a 5 cm vacuum interface with a high field region (up to 1000 V/cm) to undergo co...

Corrole isomers: intrinsic gas-phase shapes via traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and dissociation chemistries via tandem mass spectrometry.

Corrole and four of its isomers with subtle structural changes promoted by exchange of nitrogen and carbon atoms in the corrole ring have been studied by traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and collision induced dissociation experiments. Significant differences in shapes and charge distributions for their protonated molecules were found to lead to contrasting gas phase mobilities, mos...

Ag11(SG)7: A New Cluster Identified by Mass Spectrometry and Optical Spectroscopy

We report a one-step and high yield synthesis of a redluminescent silver cluster with the molecular formula, Ag11(SG)7 (SG: glutathionate) via reduction of silver ions by sodium borohydride in the presence of the tripeptide, glutathione (GSH). The as-prepared cluster shows prominent absorption features at 485 and 625 nm in its UV−vis absorption spectrum. Aging of the as-prepared cluster solutio...

Illustration of SID-IM-SID (surface-induced dissociation-ion mobility-SID) mass spectrometry: homo and hetero model protein complexes.

The direct determination of the overall topology and inter-subunit contacts of protein complexes plays an integral role in understanding how different subunits assemble into biologically relevant multisubunit complexes. Mass spectrometry has emerged as a useful structural biological tool because of its sensitivity, high tolerance for heterogeneous mixtures and the fact that crystals are not req...

Ligand binding and unfolding of tryptophan synthase revealed by ion mobility-tandem mass spectrometry employing collision and surface induced dissociation

Understanding protein tertiary and quaternary structures is crucial to a better understanding of their biological functions. Here we illustrate for tryptophan synthase that tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) reveals not only protein subunit architectures, but also protein unfolding behavior when coupled with ion mobility (IM). In the present study, we verified the subunit arrangement with surface...
