The metal binding properties of the dinucleotide duplex, dCG x dCG, were analyzed in the gas phase with ion mobility mass spectrometry. Both MALDI and ESI were used to generate [M(dCG x dCG)]+ complexes. The collision cross section of each complex was measured in helium using ion mobility based methods and compared to calculated cross sections of theoretical structures. When metal cations classified as hard acids were combined with dCG x dCG, the [M(dCG x dCG)]+ complex organized into a globular structure. However, when soft acid metal cations were examined, a structure was observed where the two C-G base pairs were Watson-Crick bound. 相似文献

Polypropylene (PP) capillary-channeled polymer (C-CP) films have parallel, μm-sized channels that induce solution wicking
via capillary action. Efficient mass transport from the solution phase to the channel surface leads to adsorption of hydrophobic
protein solutes. The basic premise by which C-CP films can be used as media to manipulate analyte solutions (e.g., proteins
in buffer), for the purpose of desalting or chromatographic separation prior to MALDI-MS analysis is presented here. Cytochrome
c and myoglobin prepared in a Tris-HCl buffer, and ribonuclease A, lysozyme, and transferrin prepared in phosphate buffered
saline (PBS), are used as the test solutions to demonstrate the desalting concept. Protein analysis is performed after deposition
on a C-CP film with and without a water washing step, followed by spray deposition of a typical sinapinic acid matrix. Extracted
MALDI mass spectra exhibit much improved signal-to-noise characteristics after water washing. A mixture of cytochrome c and myoglobin (2 μL of 2.5 μM each in Tris-HCl buffer) was applied, washed with water and spatially separated via simple
capillary action (wicking) using a reversed-phase solvent composition of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in 50:50 acetonitrile
(ACN):H2O. Subsequent application of sinapinic acid followed by imaging of the film using MALDI-MS reveals that as the protein solution
is wicked down the film, separation occurs. 相似文献

Ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) was used to probe the structures of several metal complexes carrying pendant chromophores. The three complexes investigated were the copper(II) complex Cu(DAC)2+ (DAC = 1,8-bis(9-methylanthracyl)cyclam, cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), the N-nitrosylated ligand DAC-NO, and the Roussin's red salt ester (mu-S,mu-S')-protoporphyrin-IX-bis(2-thioethyl ester)tetranitrosyldiiron (PPIX-RSE). From the IM-MS data coupled with theoretical calculations, it was found that [Cu(II)(DAC - H)]+ exists as a single conformer, with one anthracenyl group above the cyclam and the other below, similar to the crystal structure of Cu(II)(DAC)2+. The metal-free N-nitrosylated ligand (DAC-NO + H)+ has two conformations: one family of structures has one anthracenyl group above the cyclam and one below, while the other has both anthracenyl groups on the same side of the cyclam. These observations are consistent with 1H NMR data for the neutral DAC-NO complex that indicate the presence of two geometric isomers in solution. The third species, PPIX-RSE, has a porphyrin chromophore covalently linked to an Fe2S2(NO)4 cluster for use as a precursor for the photochemical delivery of nitric oxide in single- and two-photon excitation processes. Ion mobility indicates the presence of two (PPIX-RSE + H)+ conformations, consistent with the previous interpretation of the bimodal fluorescence lifetime decay seen for PPIX-RSE. DFT structures, in good agreement with the IM-MS cross sections, indicate two "bent" conformations with the planes of the porphyrin and Fe2S2 rings at different angles with respect to each other. 相似文献

The direct current (DC) arc plasma has been assessed with an emphasis on excitation temperature (T exe) and ionization/excitation efficiency by monitoring magnesium ionic:atomic ratios (Mg II:I). The primary goal is to improve the analytical performance of the DC arc instrumentation such that more sensitive and reproducible measurements can be achieved when analyzing trace impurities in nuclear materials. Due to the variety of sample types requiring DC arc analysis, an understanding of the plasma’s characteristics will significantly benefit the experimental design when moving forward with LANL’s capabilities for trace metal analysis of plutonium metals.

Capillary-channeled polymer (C-CP) fibers are employed in a micropipette tip format to affect a stationary phase for the solid phase extraction (SPE) of proteins from buffer solutions prior to MALDI-MS analysis. Proteins readily adsorb to the polypropylene (PP) C-CP fibers while buffer species are easily washed off the tips using DI-H(2)O. Elution of the solutes is achieved with an aliquot of 50:50 ACN:H(2)O, which is compatible with the subsequent spotting on the MALDI target with the matrix solution. Lysozyme and cytochrome c are used as test species, with a primary buffer composition of 100 mM Tris-HCl. In this case, direct MALDI-MS produces no discernible protein signals. SPE on the C-CP fibers yields high fidelity mass spectra for 1 μL sample volumes. Limits of detection for cytochrome c in 100 mM Tris-HCl are on the order of 40 nM. Extraction of cytochrome c from buffer concentrations of up to 1 M Tris-HCl, provides signal recoveries that are suppressed by only ~50% versus neat protein solutions. Finally, extraction of 3.1 μM cytochrome c from a synthetic urine matrix exhibits excellent recovery. 相似文献

A novel approach to ambient desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (ADI-MS) is described, based on a recently developed liquid sampling–atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) ionization source. The device is essentially unmodified relative to its implementation in elemental mass spectrometry, where the operational space is characterized by low operation power (<10 W) and low solution delivery rates (<50 μL min?1). In this implementation, the plasma is produced between a Ni anode and an electrolytic liquid (1 M HNO3) cathode flowing through a glass capillary that is angled towards the sample surface, at a distance of ~2 mm away. Analyte species can be desorbed/ionized from neat solution residues and complex solid samples. The ADI-LS-APGD source is mounted onto the source interface of a Thermo Finnigan LCQ Advantage Max quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer without modifications to the instrument faceplate or ion optics. Described here is the initial evaluation of the roles of source geometry and working parameters, including electrolytic solution composition and plasma current, on the response of caffeine residues, with preliminary limits of detection based on the relative standard deviation of the spectral background suggested to be on the 10-pg level. Demonstrative spectra are presented for green tea extracts and raw leaves, coffee beans, a dried (raw) tobacco leaf, an analgesic tablet, and paper currency. Versatility is further revealed through the determination of components in common cigarette smoke. In each case, the spectra are characterized by (M?+?H)+ species of the expected constituents. The capacity for a single source to perform both in solution and particulate elemental analysis (as shown previously) and ADI of molecular species is unique in the realm of mass spectrometry. 相似文献
