Injected-Ion Mobility Analysis of Biomolecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
This Report describes biomolecular structural studies using the injected-ion mobility/MS approach. Several examples will illustrate how these methods can be used to resolve and characterize conformations, examine the dynamics of protein unfolding and folding in the gas phase, and complement MS methods for characterizing oligosaccharide isomers. [The development and application of these methods has been reviewed elsewhere (6).]

Three-dimensional ion mobility/TOFMS analysis of electrosprayed biomolecules.
An ion mobility/mass spectrometry technique has been developed to record mass-resolved ion mobility distributions for multiple ions simultaneously. The approach involves a new instrument that couples an electrospray ion source to an injected-ion drift tube/time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Individual components in a mixture of ions are separated by mobility differences in a drift tube and subse...

Background: The ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is an analytical technique that is widely used due to its high sensitivity and speed for the detection of ionized molecules in gas phase and under atmospheric pressure. Breath analysis is a new method for obtaining information about person's clinical conditions that is considered by researchers. Human exhaled air contains a variety of components s...
متن کاملPMM - 111 Nanoelectrospray Differential Ion Mobility Spectrometry for Protein Sizing and Molecular Mass Determination: Method Development and Validation
The characterization of large biomolecules, including the determination of their size and molecular mass (Mr), is important for understanding fundamental aspects of their biochemical behavior. Even though MS has dominated this type of analysis, another similar technique based on nanoelectrospray ion mobility spectrometry, referred to as gas phase electrophoretic mobility molecule analysis (GEMM...
متن کاملApplication of Ion Mobility Spectrometry for Determination of Morphine in Human Urine
In this study, a rapid, simple and sensitive ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) method with corona discharge as ionization source was described for the morphine determination in human urine. Morphine was extracted and purified from urine samples using solid phase extraction procedure with C18 column. It can offer the clean extracts which no extra peaks were observed in IMS. Under operating experim...
متن کاملTowards the Analysis of High Molecular Weight Proteins and Protein complexes using TIMS-MS.
In the present work, we demonstrate the potential and versatility of TIMS for the analysis of proteins, DNA-protein complexes and protein-protein complexes in their native and denatured states. In addition, we show that accurate CCS measurement are possible and in good agreement with previously reported CCS values using other IMS analyzers (<5% difference). The main challenges for the analysis ...
