In-Source Decay and Pseudo-MS3 of Peptide and Protein Ions Using Liquid AP-MALDI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atmospheric pressure MALDI on a Q-Exactive instrument was optimized for in-source decay and pseudo-MS3. The dependence of AP-MALDI ISD on the MALDI liquid matrix was investigated for peptides and proteins. The liquid matrices enabled long-life ISD signal, and exhibited high fragment ion yield and signal stability. Extensive a-, b-, c-, y-, and z-type fragment series were observed depending on the matrix used but were most extensive with 2,5-DHB. Complete sequence coverage of small peptide and intact protein-terminus sequence tags were obtained and confirmed using HCD as a pseudo-MS3 method. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

MALDI in-source decay, from sequencing to imaging.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is now a mature method allowing the identification and, more challenging, the quantification of biopolymers (proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, etc). MALDI spectra show mostly intact singly charged ions. To obtain fragments, the activation of singly charged precursors is necessary, but not efficient above 3.5 kDa, thus making MALDI MS/MS diffic...

A new sample ionization technique, atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (AP MALDI), was coupled with a commercial ion trap mass spectrometer. This configuration enables the application-specific selection of external atmospheric ionization sources: the electrospray/APCI (commercially available) and AP MALDI (built in-house), which can be readily interchanged within mi...

Liquid matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) allows the generation of predominantly multiply charged ions in atmospheric pressure (AP) MALDI ion sources for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. The charge state distribution of the generated ions and the efficiency of the ion source in generating such ions crucially depend on the desolvation regime of the MALDI plume after desorption i...

In biological mass spectrometry (MS), two ionization techniques are predominantly employed for the analysis of larger biomolecules, such as polypeptides. These are nano-electrospray ionization (nanoESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). Both techniques are considered to be “soft”, allowing the desorption and ionization of intact molecular analyte species and thus their su...

Vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation of peptide ions in a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) tandem time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer is used to characterize peptide mixtures derived from Deinococcus radiodurans ribosomal proteins. Tryptic peptides from 52 proteins were separated by reverse-phase liquid chromatography and spotted onto a MALDI plate. From 192 sample spots, ...
