    Abstract Ultraviolet photodissociation is a fast, photon-mediated fragmentation method that yields high sequence coverage and informative cleavages of biomolecules. In this work, 193 nm UVPD was coupled with a 12 Tesla FT-ICR mass spectrometer and 10.6 μm infrared multi-photon dissociation to provide gentle slow-heating of UV-irradiated ions. No internal instrument hardware modifications were required. Adjusting the timing of laser pulses to the ion motion within the ICR cell provided consistent fragmentation yield shot-to-shot and may also be used to monitor ion positions within the ICR cell. Single-pulse UVPD of the native-like 5+ charge state of ubiquitin resulted in 86.6% cleavage coverage. Additionally, IR activation post UVPD doubled the overall fragmentation yield and boosted the intensity of UVPD-specific x-type fragments up to 4-fold. This increased yield effect was also observed for the 6+ charge state of ubiquitin, albeit less pronounced. This indicates that gentle slow-heating serves to sever tethered fragments originating from non-covalently linked compact structures and makes activation post UVPD an attractive option to boost fragmentation efficiency for top-down studies. Lastly, UVPD was implemented and optimized as a fragmentation method for 2DMS, a data-independent acquisition method. UVPD-2DMS was demonstrated to be a viable method using BSA digest peptides as a model system.

    Abstract Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass analysers (FT-ICR MS) can offer the highest resolutions and mass accuracies in mass spectrometry. Mass spectra acquired in an FT-ICR MS can yield accurate elemental compositions of all compounds in a complex sample. Fragmentation caused by ion-neutral, ion-electron, or ion-photon interactions leads to more detailed structural information on compounds. The most often used method to correlate compounds and their fragment ions is to isolate the precursor ions from the sample before fragmentation. Two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2D MS) offers a method to correlate precursor and fragment ions without requiring precursor isolation. 2D MS therefore enables easy access to the fragmentation patterns of all compounds from complex samples. In this article, the principles of FT-ICR MS are reviewed and the 2D MS experiment is explained. Data processing for 2D MS is detailed, and the interpretation of 2D mass spectra is described.

    Abstract Amyloid fibril formation is a hallmark in a range of human diseases. Analysis of the molecular details of amyloid aggregation, however, is limited by the difficulties in solubilizing, separating, and identifying the aggregated biomolecules. Additional labeling or protein modification is required in many current analytical techniques in order to provide molecular details of amyloid protein aggregation, but these modifications may result in protein structure disruption. Herein, ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (MS) with electron capture dissociation tandem MS (ECD MS/MS) has been applied to monitor the formation of early oligomers of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), which aggregate rapidly in the pancreas of type II diabetes (T2D) patients. ECD MS/MS results show the aggregation region of the early oligomers is at the Ser-28/Ser-29 residue of a hIAPP unit and at the Asn-35 residue of another hIAPP unit near the C-terminus in the gas phase. These data contribute to the understanding of the binding site between hIAPP units which may help for specific target region therapeutic development in the future. Furthermore, MS has also been applied to quantify the amount of soluble amyloid protein remaining in the incubated solutions, which can be used to estimate the aggregation rate of amyloid protein during incubation (28 days). These data are further correlated with the results obtained using fluorescence spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to generate a general overview of amyloid protein aggregation. The methods demonstrated in this article not only explore the aggregation site of hIAPP down to an amino acid residue level, but are also applicable to many amyloid protein aggregation studies.

    Abstract Transition metal-containing proteins and enzymes are critical for the maintenance of cellular function and metal-based (metallo)drugs are commonly used for the treatment of many diseases, such as cancer. Detection and characterisation of metallodrug targets is crucial for improving drug-design and therapeutic efficacy. Due to the unique isotopic ratios of many metal species, and the complexity of proteomic samples, standard MS data analysis of these species is unsuitable for accurate assignment. Herein a new method for differentiating metal-containing species within complex LCMS data is presented based upon the Smart Numerical Annotation Procedure (SNAP). SNAP-LC accounts for the change in isotopic envelopes for analytes containing non-standard species, such as metals, and will accurately identify, record, and display the particular spectra within extended LCMS runs that contain target species, and produce accurate lists of matched peaks, greatly assisting the identification and assignment of modified species and tailored to the metals of interest. Analysis of metallated species obtained from tryptic digests of common blood proteins after reactions with three candidate metallodrugs is presented as proof-of-concept examples and demonstrates the effectiveness of SNAP-LC for the fast and accurate elucidation of metallodrug targets.

    Abstract Native top-down mass spectrometry is a fast, robust biophysical technique that can provide molecular-scale information on the interaction between proteins or peptides and ligands, including metal cations. Here we have analyzed complexes of the full-length amyloid β (1-42) monomer with a range of (patho)physiologically relevant metal cations using native Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and three different fragmentation methods-collision-induced dissociation, electron capture dissociation, and infrared multiphoton dissociation-all yielding consistent results. Amyloid β is of particular interest as its oligomerization and aggregation are major events in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease, and it is known that interactions between the peptide and bioavailable metal cations have the potential to significantly damage neurons. Those metals which exhibited the strongest binding to the peptide (Cu
