We modified a dual pressure linear ion trap Orbitrap to permit infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) in the higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) cell for high resolution analysis. A number of parameters, including the pressures of the C-trap and HCD cell, the radio frequency (rf) amplitude applied to the C-trap, and the HCD DC offset, were evaluated to optimize IRMPD efficiency and maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio. IRMPD was utilized for characterization of phosphopeptides, supercharged peptides, and N-terminal modified peptides, as well as for top-down protein analysis. The high resolution and high mass accuracy capabilities of the Orbitrap analyzer facilitated confident assignment of product ions arising from IRMPD.
我们改进了双压线性离子阱轨道阱,使其能够在更高能量碰撞解离(HCD)池中进行红外多光子解离(IRMPD),以进行高分辨率分析。评估了许多参数,包括 C 阱和 HCD 池的压力、施加在 C 阱上的射频(rf)幅度以及 HCD 直流偏移,以优化 IRMPD 效率并保持高信噪比。IRMPD 用于磷酸肽、超荷质比肽和 N 端修饰肽的表征,以及用于从头蛋白质分析。轨道阱分析仪的高分辨率和高质量精度能力有助于对来自 IRMPD 的产物离子进行准确的归属。
