Abstract: | Ozone-induced dissociation (OzID) exploits the gas-phase reaction between mass-selected lipid ions and ozone vapor to determine
the position(s) of unsaturation. In this contribution, we describe the modification of a tandem linear ion-trap mass spectrometer
specifically for OzID analyses wherein ozone vapor is supplied to the collision cell. This instrumental configuration provides
spatial separation between mass-selection, the ozonolysis reaction, and mass-analysis steps in the OzID process and thus delivers
significant enhancements in speed and sensitivity (ca. 30-fold). These improvements allow spectra revealing the double-bond
position(s) within unsaturated lipids to be acquired within 1 s: significantly enhancing the utility of OzID in high-throughput
lipidomic protocols. The stable ozone concentration afforded by this modified instrument also allows direct comparison of
relative reactivity of isomeric lipids and reveals reactivity trends related to (1) double-bond position, (2) substitution
position on the glycerol backbone, and (3) stereochemistry. For cis- and trans-isomers, differences were also observed in the branching ratio of product ions arising from the gas-phase ozonolysis reaction,
suggesting that relative ion abundances could be exploited as markers for double-bond geometry. Additional activation energy
applied to mass-selected lipid ions during injection into the collision cell (with ozone present) was found to yield spectra
containing both OzID and classical-CID fragment ions. This combination CID-OzID acquisition on an ostensibly simple monounsaturated
phosphatidylcholine within a cow brain lipid extract provided evidence for up to four structurally distinct phospholipids
differing in both double-bond position and sn-substitution. |
