Ion Mobility-Assisted Free Radical Initiated Peptide Sequencing
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Free radical-initiated peptide sequencing (FRIPS), a TEMPO-assisted mass spectrometry, has shown potential as a peptide tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) tool that can be an alternative to electron-based mass spectrometry and the traditional collision-based methods. However, a couple of instrumentation barriers need to be overcome before this approach can be a practical tool. One of the barriers is the limitation of the FRIPS-based technique to ion trap mass spectrometry or an orbitrap due to the MS3 workflow. To overcome this challenge, the work introduces a recently developed activation within the trapped ion mobility mass spectrometry (TIMS) device that was found to initiate the radical species. More importantly, the generated product ion was mobility separated, which increased the sequence coverage. Overall, coupling the activation within the TIMS cell with the para-TEMPO-Bz-based FRIPS mass spectrometry offers another practical approach that can be utilized for peptide MS/MS analysis
