COLLISIONAL ACTIVATION BY FOURIER - TRANSFORM MASS SPECTROMETRY A Study of Target Gas Excitation
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies on the charge-transfer reactions between translationally excited polyatomic ions and the neutral target gas used for collisional activation/collision-induced dissociation are described. These studies demonstrate an additional area where Fourier-transform mass spectrometry can be used to probe the fundamentals of ion/neutral interactions, viz., target gas excitation which competes with collision-induced dissociation.

Selective parent ion axialization for improved efficiency of collision-induced dissociation in laser desorption-ionization fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.
We have systematically established the excitation frequency, amplitude, duration, and buffer gas pressure for optimal axialization efficiency and mass selectivity of quadrupolar excitation-collisional cooling for isolation of parent ions for collision-induced dissociation in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. For example, at high quadrupolar excitation amplitude, ion a...
متن کاملProtein identification via surface-induced dissociation in an FT-ICR mass spectrometer and a patchwork sequencing approach.
Surface-induced dissociation (SID) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) are ion activation techniques based on energetic collisions with a surface or gas molecule, respectively. One noticeable difference between CID and SID is that SID does not require a collision gas for ion activation and is, therefore, directly compatible with the high vacuum requirement of Fourier transform ion cyclotro...
متن کاملThe mechanisms of collisional activation of ions in mass spectrometry.
This article is a review of the mechanisms responsible for collisional activation of ions in mass spectrometers. Part I gives a general introduction to the processes occurring when a projectile ion and neutral target collide. The theoretical background to the physical phenomena of curve-crossing excitation (for electronic and vibrational excitation), impulsive collisions (for direct translation...
متن کاملIon activation methods for tandem mass spectrometry.
This tutorial presents the most common ion activation techniques employed in tandem mass spectrometry. In-source fragmentation and metastable ion decompositions, as well as the general theory of unimolecular dissociations of ions, are initially discussed. This is followed by tandem mass spectrometry, which implies that the activation of ions is distinct from the ionization step, and that the pr...
متن کاملA high pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption ion source for Fourier transform mass spectrometry designed to accommodate large targets with diverse surfaces.
A new design for a high pressure MALDI-FTMS instrument is described and initial data are shown. The instrument incorporates a large, 10 cm x 10 cm, sample translation stage to accommodate and position the MALDI target. The new instrument allows coupling to a wide variety of surface techniques such as gel electrophoresis or surface plasmon resonance. Coupling to thin layer chromatography is show...
