Project description:The structural elucidation of native macromolecular assemblies has been a subject of considerable interest in native mass spectrometry (MS), and more recently in tandem with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS-MS), for a better understanding of their biochemical and biophysical functions. In the present work, we describe a new generation trapped ion mobility spectrometer (TIMS), with extended mobility range (K0 = 0.185-1.84 cm2·V-1·s-1), capable of trapping high-molecular-weight (MW) macromolecular assemblies. This compact 4 cm long TIMS analyzer utilizes a convex electrode, quadrupolar geometry with increased pseudopotential penetration in the radial dimension, extending the mobility trapping to high-MW species under native state (i.e., lower charge states). The TIMS capabilities to perform variable scan rate (Sr) mobility measurements over short time (100-500 ms), high-mobility resolution, and ion-neutral collision cross-section (CCSN2) measurements are presented. The trapping capabilities of the convex electrode TIMS geometry and ease of operation over a wide gas flow, rf range, and electric field trapping range are illustrated for the first time using a comprehensive list of standards varying from CsI clusters (n = 6-73), Tuning Mix oligomers (n = 1-5), common proteins (e.g., ubiquitin, cytochrome C, lysozyme, concanavalin (n = 1-4), carbonic anhydrase, β clamp (n = 1-4), topoisomerase IB, bovine serum albumin (n = 1-3), topoisomerase IA, alcohol dehydrogenase), IgG antibody (e.g., avastin), protein-DNA complexes, and macromolecular assemblies (e.g., GroEL and RNA polymerase (n = 1-2)) covering a wide mass (up to m/z 19 000) and CCS range (up to 22 000 Å2 with <0.6% relative standard deviation (RSD)).

Project description:Lipids play pivotal roles in an extensive range of metabolic and physiological processes. In recent years, the convergence of trapped ion mobility spectrometry and MS has enabled 4D-lipidomics, a highly promising technology for comprehensive lipid analysis. 4D-lipidomics assesses lipid annotations across four distinct dimensions-retention time, collisional cross section, m/z (mass-to-charge ratio), and MS/MS spectra-providing a heightened level of confidence in lipid annotation. These advantages prove particularly valuable when investigating complex disorders involving lipid metabolism, such as adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). ALD is characterized by the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) due to pathogenic variants in the ABCD1 gene. A comprehensive 4D-lipidomics strategy of ALD fibroblasts demonstrated significant elevations of various lipids from multiple classes. This indicates that the changes observed in ALD are not confined to a single lipid class and likely impacts a broad spectrum of lipid-mediated physiological processes. Our findings highlight the incorporation of mainly saturated and monounsaturated VLCFA variants into a range of lipid classes, encompassing phosphatidylcholines, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol esters. These include ultra-long-chain fatty acids with a length of up to thirty carbon atoms. Lipid species containing C26:0 and C26:1 were the most frequently detected VLCFA lipids in our study. Furthermore, we report a panel of 121 new candidate biomarkers in fibroblasts, exhibiting significant differentiation between controls and individuals with ALD. In summary, this study demonstrates the capabilities of a 4D-lipid profiling workflow in unraveling novel insights into the intricate lipid modifications associated with metabolic disorders like ALD.

Project description:Trapped ion-mobility spectrometry combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TIMS-QTOFMS) was evaluated as a tool for resolving linear and branched isomeric polyester oligomers. Solutions of polyester samples were infused directly into the ion source employing electrospray ionization (ESI). TIMS-MS provides both mobility and m/z data on the formed ions, allowing construction of extracted-ion mobilograms (EIMs). EIMs of polyester molecules showed multimodal patterns, indicating conformational differences among isomers. Subsequent TIMS-MS/MS experiments indicated mobility differences to be caused by (degree of) branching. These assignments were supported by liquid chromatography-TIMS-MS/MS analysis, confirming that direct TIMS-MS provided fast (500 ms/scan) distinction between linear and branched small oligomers. Observing larger oligomers (up to 3000 Da) using TIMS required additional molecular charging to ensure ion entrapment within the mobility window. Molecular supercharging was achieved using m-nitrobenzyl alcohol (NBA). The additional charges on the oligomer structures enhanced mobility separation of isomeric species but also added to the complexity of the obtained fragmentation mass spectra. This complexity could be partly reduced by post-TIMS analyte-decharging applying collision-induced dissociation (CID) prior to Q1 with subsequent isolation of the singly charged ions for further fragmentation. The as-obtained EIM profiles were still quite complex as larger molecules possess more possible structural isomers. Nevertheless, distinguishing between linear and symmetrically branched oligomers was possible based on measured differences in collisional cross sections (CCSs). The established TIMS-QTOFMS approach reliably allows branching information on isomeric polyester molecules up to 3000 Da to be obtained in less than 1 min analysis time.

Project description:The behavior of biomolecules as a function of the solution temperature is often crucial to assessing their biological activity and function. While heat-induced changes of biomolecules are traditionally monitored using optical spectroscopy methods, their conformational changes and unfolding transitions remain challenging to interpret. In the present work, the structural transitions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in native conditions (100 mM aqueous ammonium acetate) were investigated as a function of the starting solution temperature (T ∼ 23-70 °C) using a temperature-controlled nanoelectrospray ionization source (nESI) coupled to a trapped ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (TIMS-MS) instrument. The charge state distribution of the monomeric BSA changed from a native-like, narrow charge state ([M + 12H]12+ to [M + 16H]16+ at ∼23 °C) and narrow mobility distribution toward an unfolded-like, broad charge state (up to [M + 46H]46+ at ∼70 °C) and broad mobility distribution. Inspection of the average charge state and collision cross section (CCS) distribution suggested a two-state unfolding transition with a melting temperature Tm ∼ 56 ± 1 °C; however, the inspection of the CCS profiles at the charge state level as a function of the solution temperature showcases at least six structural transitions (T1-T7). If the starting solution concentration is slightly increased (from 2 to 25 μM), this method can detect nonspecific BSA dimers and trimers which dissociate early (Td ∼ 34 ± 1 °C) and may disturb the melting curve of the BSA monomer. In a single experiment, this technology provides a detailed view of the solution, protein structural landscape (mobility vs solution temperature vs relative intensity for each charge state).

Project description:In the present paper, we showed the advantages of trapped ion mobility spectrometry coupled too mass spectrometry (TIMS-MS) combined with theoretical calculations for fast identification (millisecond timescale) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) compounds from complex mixtures. Accurate PAH collision cross sections (CCS, in nitrogen as a bath gas) are reported for the most commonly encountered PAH compounds and the ability to separate PAH geometric isomers is shown for three isobaric pairs with mobility resolution exceeding 150 (3-5 times higher than conventional IMS devices). Theoretical candidate structures (optimized at the DFT/B3LYP level) are proposed for the most commonly encountered PAH compounds showing good agreement with the experimental CCS values (<5%). The potential of TIMS-MS for the separation and identification of PAH compounds from complex mixtures without the need of lengthy pre-separation steps is illustrated for the case of a complex soil mixture.

Project description:Recent advances in efficiency and ease of implementation have rekindled interest in ion mobility spectrometry, a technique that separates gas phase ions by their size and shape and that can be hybridized with conventional LC and MS. Here, we review the recent development of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) coupled to TOF mass analysis. In particular, the parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (PASEF) operation mode offers unique advantages in terms of sequencing speed and sensitivity. Its defining feature is that it synchronizes the release of ions from the TIMS device with the downstream selection of precursors for fragmentation in a TIMS quadrupole TOF configuration. As ions are compressed into narrow ion mobility peaks, the number of peptide fragment ion spectra obtained in data-dependent or targeted analyses can be increased by an order of magnitude without compromising sensitivity. Taking advantage of the correlation between ion mobility and mass, the PASEF principle also multiplies the efficiency of data-independent acquisition. This makes the technology well suited for rapid proteome profiling, an increasingly important attribute in clinical proteomics, as well as for ultrasensitive measurements down to single cells. The speed and accuracy of TIMS and PASEF also enable precise measurements of collisional cross section values at the scale of more than a million data points and the development of neural networks capable of predicting them based only on peptide sequences. Peptide collisional cross section values can differ for isobaric sequences or positional isomers of post-translational modifications. This additional information may be leveraged in real time to direct data acquisition or in postprocessing to increase confidence in peptide identifications. These developments make TIMS quadrupole TOF PASEF a powerful and expandable platform for proteomics and beyond.

Project description:Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has become a powerful tool for glycan structural characterization due to its ability to separate isomers and provide collision cross section (CCS) values that facilitate structural assignment. However, IM-based isomer analysis may be complicated by the presence of multiple gas-phase conformations of a single structure that not only increases difficulty in isomer separation but can also introduce the possibility for misinterpretation of conformers as isomers. Here, the ion mobility behavior of several sets of isomeric glycans, analyzed as their permethylated derivatives, in both nonreduced and reduced forms, was investigated by gated-trapped ion mobility spectrometry (G-TIMS). Notably, reducing-end reduction, commonly performed to remove anomerism-induced chromatographic peak splitting, did not eliminate the conformational heterogeneity of permethylated glycans in the gas phase. At a mobility resolving power of ∼100, 14 out of 22 structures showed more than one conformation. These results highlight the need to use IMS devices with high mobility resolving power for better separation of isomers and to acquire additional structural information that can differentiate isomers from conformers. Online electronic excitation dissociation (EED) MS/MS analysis of isomeric glycan mixtures following G-TIMS separation showed that EED can generate isomer-specific fragments while producing nearly identical tandem mass spectra for conformers, thus allowing confident identification of isomers with minimal evidence of any ambiguity resulting from the presence of conformers. G-TIMS EED MS/MS analysis of N-linked glycans released from ovalbumin revealed that several mobility features previously thought to arise from isomeric structures were conformers of a single structure. Finally, analysis of ovalbumin N-glycans from different sources showed that the G-TIMS EED MS/MS approach can accurately determine the batch-to-batch variations in glycosylation profiles at the isomer level, with confident assignment of each isomeric structure.

Project description:Single cell analysis strives to probe molecular heterogeneity in morphologically similar cell populations through quantitative or qualitative measurements of genetic, proteomic, or metabolic products. Here, we applied mass analysis of single neurons to investigate cell-cell signaling peptides. The multiplicity of endogenous cell-cell signaling peptides is a common source of chemical diversity among cell populations. Certain peptides can undergo post-translational isomerization of select residues, which has important physiological consequences. The limited number of single cell analysis techniques that are sensitive to peptide stereochemistry make it challenging to study isomerization at the individual cell level. We performed capillary electrophoresis (CE) with mass spectrometry (MS) detection to characterize the peptide content of single cells. Using complementary trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) separations, we measured the stereochemical configurations of three neuropeptide gene products derived from the pleurin precursor in individual neurons (N = 3) isolated from the central nervous system of Aplysia californica. An analysis of the resultant mobility profiles indicated >98% of the detectable pleurin-derived peptides exist as the nonisomerized, all-l forms in individual neuron cell bodies. However, we observed 44% of the Plrn2 peptide from the pleurin precursor was present as the isomerized, d-residue-containing form in the nerve tissue. These findings demonstrate an unusual distribution of isomerized peptides in A. californica and establish CE-TIMS MS as a powerful analytical tool for investigating peptide stereochemistry at the single cell level.

Project description:In the present paper, theoretical simulations and experimental observations are used to describe the ion dynamics in a trapped ion mobility spectrometer. In particular, the ion motion, ion transmission and mobility separation are discussed as a function of the bath gas velocity, radial confinement, analysis time and speed. Mobility analysis and calibration procedure are reported for the case of sphere-like molecules for positive and negative ion modes. Results showed that a maximal mobility resolution can be achieved by optimizing the gas velocity, radial confinement (RF amplitude) and ramp speed (voltage range and ramp time). The mobility resolution scales with the electric field and gas velocity and R = 100-250 can be routinely obtained at room temperature.
