  • Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS–MS)
    Advanced Analytical Chemistry Lecture 22 Chem 4631 Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS–MS) Tandem mass spectrometry (MS–MS) is a term which covers a number of techniques where one stage of mass spectrometry (not necessarily the first) is used to isolate an ion of interest and a second stage is then used to probe the relationship of this ion with others from which it may have been generated or which it may generate on decomposition. Chem 5570 Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS–MS) Chem 5570 The two analyzers (MS-MS) can be separated by a collision cell (can be another MS) into which an inert gas (e.g. argon, xenon) is admitted to collide with the selected sample ions and bring about their fragmentation. Tandem MS have the ability to perform multiple steps on a single sample. The MS selects a specific ion, fragment the ion, and generate another mass spec – able to repeat the cycle several times. Chem 5570 The analyzers can be of the same or of different types, the most common combinations being: quadrupole - quadrupole magnetic sector - quadrupole magnetic sector - magnetic sector quadrupole - time-of-flight Fragmentation experiments can also be performed on certain single analyzer mass spectrometers such as ion trap and time-of-flight instruments, the latter type using a post-source decay experiment to effect the fragmentation of sample ions. Chem 5570 Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS–MS) TIC - Total ion current or total ion chromatogram The TIC represents the sum of all signal intensities of a single scan spectrum. The TIC is usually calculated by the data system of the mass spectrometer and plotted against time or scan number to give a measure for evaporation/ionization of a sample over the duration of the whole measurement.

  • Front-End Methods for Enhancing the Analytical Power of Mass Spectrometry
    FRONT-END METHODS FOR ENHANCING THE ANALYTICAL POWER OF MASS SPECTROMETRY PETER PAUL LIUNI A DISSERTAITON SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FUFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CHEMISTRY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO December 2015 © Peter Paul Liuni, 2015 Abstract The analytical power and versatility of mass spectrometry can be enhanced by adding ‘front-end’ devices, which provide additional functionality before, during or immediately after ElectroSpray Ionization (ESI). Such devices can include Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and Time-Resolved ElectroSpray Ionization (TRESI) which provide enhanced analysis of illicit compounds, protein folding, enzyme kinetics, and catalysis-linked dynamics. With respect to IMS, this work describes implementation of a hybrid Trace Compound Detector (TCD) system that combines IMS and MS to allow for rapid front- end mobility separation, followed by characterization and identification of analytical markers of seized opium by mass spectrometry. Ultimately, this device provides an avenue for rapid prosecution based on simultaneous detection and unambiguous identification of illicit drugs. TRESI is used to extend Mass Spectrometry (MS) to millisecond-timescale reaction studies. In the first instance, we combine TRESI with Travelling Wave Ion Mobility Spectrometry (TWIMS) to compare equilibrium and kinetic unfolding intermediates of cytochrome c, showing a high degree of correlation between all species populated under these substantially different regimes. We then combine TRESI with Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange (TRESI-HDX) to elucidate the relationship between structural fluctuations (conformational dynamics) of enzymes and their catalytic activity. The results of this work include a new model for catalysis-linked dynamics, in which the nature of the conformational landscape explored by an enzyme is independent of catalysis, but the rate at which the landscape is explored is enhanced for catalytically active species.

Marriott2 Received: 10 May 2019 / Revised: 23 September 2019 / Accepted: 15 October 2019 / Published online: 31 October 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract In the present study, liquid chromatography coupled to an Orbitrap mass spectrometer (HPLC–Q-Orbitrap MS) was used as an approach for identifcation and quantifcation of 113 drugs simultaneously in biological samples (whole blood/plasma/ serum). Samples were prepared using liquid–liquid extraction conducted using a trizma/isopropanol/butyl chloride bufer system. Reversed-phase separation employing a column (50 × 2.1 mm) packed with 2.6-μm C18 particles was then performed under gradient elution with mobile phase composition consisting of acetic acid and aqueous-acetonitrile mixtures with the acetonitrile content ranging from 10 to 100% v/v. Compounds were detected with high-resolution MS operated in full scan mode having a mass accuracy < 5 ppm. In this study, isobaric compounds (same nominal mass) were easily distinguished and identifed by their diferent retention times. Extracted ion chromatograms (XICs) with narrow mass tolerance window (5 ppm) 2 provided analysis with acceptable linearity (r ) ranged from 0.9530 to 1, low limits of detection (LOD) (0.02–39 ng mL−1) and low limit of quantifcation (LOQ) (0.1–130 ng mL−1). The developed method was applied to successfully analyse drugs in 26 blood samples from positive forensic cases and proved that this technique was able to detect analytes at trace level.

  • Novel Quadrupole Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry for Shotgun Proteomics

München, den 25.04.2017 …………………………………………………………………………………………Scarlet Beck Dissertation eingereicht am 23.09.2016 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Matthias Mann 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Cox Mündliche Prüfung am 04.11.2016 iii iv ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a powerful technology for the identification and quantification of thousands of proteins. However, the coverage of complete proteomes is still very challenging due to the high sample complexity and the difference in protein concentrations. In data-dependent shotgun proteomics several peptides elute simultaneously from the column and are isolated by the quadrupole and fragmented by the collision cell one at a time. This method has two major disadvantages. On the one hand, a large number of eluting peptides cannot be targeted since the sequencing speeds of current instruments are too slow and on the other hand, peptides that only differ slightly in mass and elute together are co-isolated and co-fragmented, resulting in chimeric MS2 spectra. Therefore an urgent need for further developments and improvements of mass spectrometers remains. The aim of this thesis was to co-develop, evaluate and improve novel quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometers. In my first project I have described the developments and improvements of the hardware of the high-resolution QTOF mass spectrometer, the impact II, and have shown that this instrument can be used for very deep coverage of diverse proteomes as well as for accurate and reproducible quantification.

It was previously unknown, however, whether ETD would be compatible with a commonly employed quantification technique, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), since the fragmentation mechanisms and pathways of ETD differ significantly from CAD. We demonstrate here that ETD of iTRAQ labeled peptides producesc- and z˙ -type fragment ions as well as reporter ions that are unique from those produced by CAD. Exact molecular formulas of product ions were determined by ETD fragmentation of iTRAQ-labeled synthetic peptides followed by high mass accuracy orbitrap mass analysis. These experiments revealed that ETD cleavage␣ of the N–C bond of the iTRAQ tag results in fragment ions that could be used for quantification. Synthetic peptide work demonstrates that these fragment ions provide up to three channels of quantification and that the quality is similar to that provided by beam-type CAD.

  • Dynamic Range of Mass Accuracy in LTQ Orbitrap Hybrid Mass Spectrometer
    Dynamic Range of Mass Accuracy in LTQ Orbitrap Hybrid Mass Spectrometer Alexander Makarov, Eduard Denisov, Oliver Lange, and Stevan Horning Thermo Electron (Bremen) GmbH, Bremen, Germany Using a novel orbitrap mass spectrometer, the authors investigate the dynamic range over which accurate masses can be determined (extent of mass accuracy) for short duration experiments typical for LC/MS. A linear ion trap is used to selectively fill an intermediate ion storage device (C-trap) with ions of interest, following which the ensemble of ions is injected into an orbitrap mass analyzer and analyzed using image current detection and fast Fourier transformation. Using this technique, it is possible to generate ion populations with intraspec- trum intensity ranges up to 104. All measurements (including ion accumulation and image current detection) were performed in less than1sataresolving power of 30,000. It was shown that 5-ppm mass accuracy of the orbitrap mass analyzer is reached with Ͼ95% probability at a dynamic range of more than 5000, which is at least an order of magnitude higher than typical values for time-of-flight instruments. Due to the high resolving power of the orbitrap, accurate mass of an ion could be determined when the signal was reliably distinguished from noise Ͼ ѧ (S/Np-p 2 3).

MS is used by researchers around the globe to identify, quantify, and characterize Revised: May 18, 2016 biomolecules like proteins from any number of biological conditions or sample types. As Accepted: July 8, 2016 instrumentation has advanced, and with the coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) for high- throughput LC-MS/MS, a proteomics experiment measuring hundreds to thousands of pro- teins/protein groups is now commonplace. While expert practitioners who best understand the operation of LC-MS systems tend to have strong backgrounds in physics and engineering, consumers of proteomics data and technology are not exposed to the physio-chemical principles underlying the information they seek. Since articles and reviews tend not to focus on bridging this divide, our goal here is to span this gap and translate MS ion physics into language intuitive to the general reader active in basic or applied biomedical research. Here, we visually describe what happens to ions as they enter and move around inside a mass spectrometer. We describe basic MS principles, including electric current, ion optics, ion traps, quadrupole mass filters, and Orbitrap FT-analyzers.
