Distinguishing isobaric phosphated and sulfated carbohydrates by coupling of mass spectrometry with gas phase vibrational spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An original application of the coupling of mass spectrometry with vibrational spectroscopy, used for the first time to discriminate isobaric bioactive saccharides with sulfate and phosphate functional modifications, is presented. Whereas their nominal masses and fragmentation patterns are undifferentiated by sole mass spectrometry, their distinctive OH stretching modes at 3595 cm(-1) and 3666 cm(-1), respectively, provide a reliable spectroscopic diagnostic for distinguishing their sulfate or phosphate functionalization. A detailed analysis of the 6-sulfated and 6-phosphated d-glucosamine conformations is presented, together with theoretical scaled harmonic spectra and anharmonic spectra (VPT2 and DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations). Strong anharmonic effects are observed in the case of the phosphated species, resulting in a dramatic enhancement of its phosphate diagnostic mode.

Mid-infrared spectroscopy coupled with mass spectrometry is an appealing tool for the sequencing and structural elucidation of functional modifications in biopolymers, as it offers direct spectroscopic identification of the functionality where the traditional mass spectrometric approach is insufficient. Whereas the gas phase vibrational spectroscopy of peptides (and to a lesser extent saccharid...
متن کاملElectron capture dissociation, electron detachment dissociation and infrared multiphoton dissociation of sucrose octasulfate.
The structural analysis of sulfated carbohydrates such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) has been a long- standing challenge for the field of mass spectrometry. The dissociation of sulfated carbohydrates by collisionally- activated dissociation (CAD) or infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), which activate ions via vibrational excitation, typically result in few cleavages and abundant SO(3) loss...
متن کاملSeparation of sodiated isobaric disaccharides and trisaccharides using electrospray ionization-atmospheric pressure ion mobility-time of flight mass spectrometry.
A series of isobaric disaccharide-alditols, four derived from O-linked glycoproteins, and select trisaccharides were rapidly resolved using tandem high resolution atmospheric pressure ion-mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Electrospray ionization was used to create the gas-phase sodium adducts of each carbohydrate. Using this technique it was possible to separate up to three isobaric di...

Electron transfer through gas phase ion-ion reactions has led to the widespread application of electron- based techniques once only capable in ion trapping mass spectrometers. Although any mass analyzer can in theory be coupled to an ion-ion reaction device (typically a 3-D ion trap), some systems of interest exceed the capabilities of most mass spectrometers. This case is particularly true in ...
