Abstract |
A novel mass spectrometric method has been developed for obtaining sequence information on small peptides. The peptides are desorbed as intact neutral molecules into a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR) by means of laser-induced acoustic desorption (LIAD). Reactions of the neutral peptides with the dimethoxyphosphenium ion, P(OCH(3))(2)(+), occur predominantly by addition of the peptide to P(OCH(3))(2)(+) followed by the loss of two methanol molecules, thus yielding product ions with the composition (peptide + P - 2H)(+). Upon sustained off-resonance irradiation for collision-activated dissociation (SORI-CAD), the (peptide + P - 2H)(+) ions undergo successive losses of CO and NHCHR or H(2)O, CO, and NHCHR to yield sequence-related fragment ions in addition to the regular a(n)- and b(n)-type ions. Under the same conditions, SORI-CAD of the analogous protonated peptides predominantly yields the regular a(n)- and b(n)-type ions. The mechanisms of the reactions of peptides with P(OCH(3))(2)(+) and the dissociation of the (peptide + P - 2H)(+) ions were examined by using model peptides and molecular orbital calculations. |
