The structural elucidation of oligosaccharides remains a major challenge. Mass spectrometry provides a rapid and convenient method for structural elucidation on the basis of tandem mass spectrometry. Ions are commonly selected and subjected to collision-induced dissociation (CID) to obtain structural information. However, a disadvantage of CID is the decrease in both the degree and efficiency of dissociation with increasing mass. In this chapter, we illustrate the use of infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) to obtain structural information for O- and N-linked oligosaccharides. The IRMPD and CID behaviors of oligosaccharides are compared.
寡糖的结构解析仍然是一项重大挑战。质谱法基于串联质谱提供了一种快速便捷的结构解析方法。通常选择离子并使其经受碰撞诱导解离(CID)以获得结构信息。然而,CID的一个缺点是随着质量增加,解离程度和效率都会降低。在本章中,我们阐述了使用红外多光子解离(IRMPD)来获取O-连接和N-连接寡糖的结构信息。并比较了寡糖的IRMPD和CID行为。
