Abstract
Glycans, carbohydrates, and glycoconjugates are involved in many crucial biological processes, such as disease development, immune responses, and cell-cell recognition. Glycans and carbohydrates are known for the large number of isomeric features associated with their structures, making analysis challenging compared with other biomolecules. Mass spectrometry has become the primary method of structural characterization for carbohydrates, glycans, and glycoconjugates. Metal adduction is especially important for the mass spectrometric analysis of carbohydrates and glycans. Metal-ion adduction to carbohydrates and glycoconjugates affects ion formation and the three-dimensional, gas-phase structures. Herein, we discuss how metal-ion adduction impacts ionization, ion mobility, ion activation and dissociation, and hydrogen/deuterium exchange for carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. We also compare the use of different metals for these various techniques and highlight the value in using metals as charge carriers for these analyses. Finally, we provide recommendations for selecting a metal for analysis of carbohydrate adducts and describe areas for continued research.

Abstract
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are specialized molecules that bind to a target protein and a ubiquitin ligase to facilitate protein degradation. Despite their significance, native PROTACs have not undergone tandem mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. To address this gap, we conducted a pioneering investigation on the fragmentation patterns of two PROTACs in development, dBET1 and VZ185. Employing diverse cations (sodium, lithium, and silver) and multiple tandem-MS techniques, we enhanced their structural characterization. Notably, lithium cations facilitated comprehensive positive-mode coverage for dBET1, while negative polarity mode offered richer insights. Employing de novo structure determination on 2DMS data from degradation studies yielded crucial insights. In the case of VZ185, various charge states were observed, with [M + 2H]2+ revealing fewer moieties than [M + H]+ due to charge-related factors. Augmenting structural details through silver adducts suggested both charge-directed and charge-remote fragmentation. This comprehensive investigation identifies frequently dissociated bonds across multiple fragmentation techniques, pinpointing optimal approaches for elucidating PROTAC structures. The findings contribute to advancing our understanding of PROTACs, pivotal for their continued development as promising therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The discovery of RNA silencing has revealed that non-protein-coding sequences (ncRNAs) can cover essential roles in regulatory networks and their malfunction may result in severe consequences on human health. These findings have prompted a general reassessment of the significance of RNA as a key player in cellular processes. This reassessment, however, will not be complete without a greater understanding of the distribution and function of the over 170 variants of the canonical ribonucleotides, which contribute to the breathtaking structural diversity of natural RNA. This review surveys the analytical approaches employed for the identification, characterization, and detection of RNA posttranscriptional modifications (rPTMs). The merits of analyzing individual units after exhaustive hydrolysis of the initial biopolymer are outlined together with those of identifying their position in the sequence of parent strands. Approaches based on next generation sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies are covered in depth to provide a comprehensive view of their respective merits. Deciphering the epitranscriptomic code will require not only mapping the location of rPTMs in the various classes of RNAs, but also assessing the variations of expression levels under different experimental conditions. The fact that no individual platform is currently capable of meeting all such demands implies that it will be essential to capitalize on complementary approaches to obtain the desired information. For this reason, the review strived to cover the broadest possible range of techniques to provide readers with the fundamental elements necessary to make informed choices and design the most effective possible strategy to accomplish the task at hand.

Abstract
The linear radical cation of cyanoacetylene, HC3N+ (2Π), is not only of astrophysical interest, being the, so far undetected, cationic counterpart of the abundant cyanoaceteylene, but also of fundamental spectroscopic interest due to its strong spin-orbit and Renner-Teller interactions. Here, we present the first broadband vibrational action spectroscopic investigation of this ion through the infrared pre-dissociation (IRPD) method using a Ne tag. Experiments have been performed using the FELion cryogenic ion-trap instrument in combination with the FELIX free-electron lasers and a Laservision optical parametric oscillator/optical parametric amplifier system. The vibronic splitting patterns of the three interacting bending modes (ν5, ν6, ν7), ranging from 180 to 1600 cm-1, could be fully resolved revealing several bands that were previously unobserved. The associated Renner-Teller and intermode coupling constants have been determined by fitting an effective Hamiltonian to the experimental data, and the obtained spectroscopic constants are in reasonable agreement with previous photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) studies and ab initio calculations on the HC3N+ ion. The influence of the attached Ne atom on the infrared spectrum has been investigated by ab initio calculations at the RCCSD(T)-F12a level of theory, which strongly indicates that the discrepancies between the IRPD and PES data are a result of the effects of the Ne attachment.

Abstract
Agrochemicals frequently undergo various chemical and metabolic transformation reactions in the environment that often result in a wide range of derivates that must be comprehensively characterized to understand their toxicity profiles and their persistence and outcome in the environment. In the development phase, this typically involves a major effort in qualitatively identifying the correct chemical isomer(s) of these derivatives from the many isomers that could potentially be formed. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are often used in attempts to characterize such environment transformation products. However, challenges in confidently correlating chemical structures to detected compounds in mass spectrometry data and sensitivity/selectivity limitations of NMR frequently lead to bottlenecks in identification. In this study, we use an alternative approach, infrared ion spectroscopy, to demonstrate the identification of hydroxylated derivatives of two plant protection compounds (azoxystrobin and benzovindiflupyr) contained at low levels in tomato and spinach matrices. Infrared ion spectroscopy is an orthogonal tandem mass spectrometry technique that combines the sensitivity and selectivity of mass spectrometry with structural information obtained by infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, IR spectra can be computationally predicted for candidate molecular structures, enabling the tentative identification of agrochemical derivatives and other unknowns in the environment without using physical reference standards.

Abstract
![]()
We present a cryogenic
mass spectrometry protocol with the capability
to detect peptides in the attomole dilution range from ice films.
Our approach employs femtosecond laser pulses and implements neither
substrate modification nor proton donor agents in the aqueous solution,
known to facilitate analyte detection in mass spectrometry. In a systematic
study, we investigated the impact of temperature, substrate composition,
and irradiation wavelength (513 and 1026 nm) on the bradykinin signal
onset. Our findings show that substrate choice and irradiation wavelength
have a minor impact on signal intensity once the preparation protocol
is optimized. However, if the temperature is increased from −140
to 0 °C, which is accompanied by ice film thinning, a somehow
complex picture of analyte desorption and ionization is recognizable,
which has not been described in the literature yet. Under cryogenic
conditions (−140 °C), obtaining a signal is only possible
from isolated sweet spots across the film. If the thin ice film is
between −100 and −70 °C of temperature, these sweet
spots appear more frequently. Ice sublimation triggered by temperatures
above −70 °C leads to an intense and robust signal onset
that could be maintained for several hours. In addition to the above
findings, we notice that a vibrant fragmentation pattern produced
is strikingly similar with both wavelengths. Our findings suggest
that while following an optimized protocol, femtosecond mass spectrometry
has excellent potential to analyze small organic molecules and peptides
with a mass range of up to 2.5 kDa in aqueous solution without any
matrix, as employed in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization
(MALDI) or any substrate surface modification, found in surface-assisted
laser desorption/ionization (SALDI).

Abstract
Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) when coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) offers great advantages for the separation of isobaric, isomeric, and/or conformeric species. In the present work, we report the advantages of coupling TIMS with a low-cost, ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) linear ion trap operated at few mbars prior to time-of-flight (ToF) MS analysis for the effective characterization of isobaric, isomeric, and/or conformeric species based on mobility-selected fragmentation patterns. These three traditional challenges to MS-based separations are illustrated for the case of biologically relevant model systems: H3.1 histone tail PTM isobars (K4Me3/K18Ac), lanthipeptide regioisomers (overlapping/nonoverlapping ring patterns), and a model peptide conformer (angiotensin I). The sequential nature of the TIMS operation allows for effective synchronization with the ToF MS scans, in addition to parallel operation between the TIMS and the UVPD trap. Inspection of the mobility-selected UVPD MS spectra showed that for all three cases considered, unique fragmentation patterns (fingerprints) were observed per mobility band. Different from other IMS-UVPD implementations, the higher resolution of the TIMS device allowed for high mobility resolving power (R > 100) and effective mobility separation. The mobility selected UVPD MS provided high sequence coverage (>85%) with a fragmentation efficiency up to ∼40%.

Abstract
Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is a powerful tool used to probe the vibrational modes-and, by extension, the structure-of an ion within an ion trap mass spectrometer. Compared to traditional FTIR spectroscopy, IRMPD spectroscopy has advantages including its sensitivity and its relative ability to handle complex mixtures. While IRMPD has historically been a technique for fundamental analyses, it is increasingly being applied in a more analytical fashion. Notable recent demonstrations pertinent to the clinical laboratory and adjacent interests include analysis of modified amino acids/residues and carbohydrates, structural elucidation (including isomeric differentiation) of metabolites, identification of novel illicit drugs, and structural studies of various biomolecules and pharmaceuticals. Improvements in analysis time, coupling to commercial instruments, and integration with separations methods are all drivers toward the realization of these analytical applications. Additional improvements in these areas, along with advances in benchtop tunable IR sources and increased cross-discipline collaboration, will continue to drive innovation and widespread adoption. The goal of this tutorial article is to briefly present the fundamentals and instrumentation of IRMPD spectroscopy, as an overview of the utility of this technique for helping to answer questions relevant to clinical analysis, and to highlight limitations to widespread adoption, as well as promising directions in which the field may be heading.

Abstract
Native mass spectrometry (MS) is aimed at preserving and determining the native structure, composition, and stoichiometry of biomolecules and their complexes from solution after they are transferred into the gas phase. Major improvements in native MS instrumentation and experimental methods over the past few decades have led to a concomitant increase in the complexity and heterogeneity of samples that can be analyzed, including protein-ligand complexes, protein complexes with multiple coexisting stoichiometries, and membrane protein-lipid assemblies. Heterogeneous features of these biomolecular samples can be important for understanding structure and function. However, sample heterogeneity can make assignment of ion mass, charge, composition, and structure very challenging due to the overlap of tens or even hundreds of peaks in the mass spectrum. In this review, we cover data analysis, experimental, and instrumental advances and strategies aimed at solving this problem, with an in-depth discussion of theoretical and practical aspects of the use of available deconvolution algorithms and tools. We also reflect upon current challenges and provide a view of the future of this exciting field.

Abstract
RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) is one of the primary enzymes responsible for expressing protein-encoding genes and some small nuclear RNAs. The enigmatic carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNAP II and its phosphorylation state are critically important in regulating transcription in vivo. Early methods of identifying phosphorylation on the CTD heptad were plagued by issues of low specificity and ambiguous signals. However, advancements in the field of mass spectrometry (MS) have presented the opportunity to gain new insights into well-studied processes as well as explore new frontiers in transcription. By using MS, residues which are modified within the CTD heptad and across repeats are now able to be pinpointed. Likewise, identification of kinase and phosphatase specificity towards residues of the CTD has reached a new level of accuracy. Now, MS is being used to investigate the crosstalk between modified residues of the CTD and may be a critical technique for understanding how phosphorylation plays a role in the new LLPS model of transcription. Herein, we discuss the development of various MS techniques and evaluate their capabilities. By highlighting the pros and cons of each technique, we aim to provide future investigators with a comprehensive overview of how MS can be used to investigate the complexities of RNAP-II mediated transcription.

Abstract
Both infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) and ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) play important roles in tandem mass spectrometry and the action spectroscopy of organic and biological molecules. A flexible combination of the two methods may provide researchers with more versatile and powerful ion activation/dissociation choices for structural characterization and spectroscopic studies. Here, we report the integration of two tunable lasers with a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer in a confocal mode, which offers multiple capabilities for photon activation/dissociation experiments. The two overlapped beams can be introduced into the cell individually, sequentially, or simultaneously, providing highly flexible and diverse activation schemes. The setup can also measure the UVPD or IRMPD action spectra of fragment ions generated by previous photon dissociation processes. In addition, the multistage tandem-in-time mass spectrometry performance up to MS4, including three different activation methods in a single cell, has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
Charge transfer dissociation mass spectrometry (CTD-MS) has been shown to induce high energy fragmentation of biological ions in the gas phase and provide fragmentation spectra similar to extreme ultraviolet photodissociation (XUVPD). To date, CTD has typically employed helium cations with kinetic energies between 4-10 keV to initiate radical-directed fragmentation of analytes. However, as a reagent, helium has recently been listed as a critical mineral that is becoming scarcer and more expensive, so this study explored the potential for using cheaper and more readily available reagent gases. A model peptide, bradykinin, and a model oligosaccharide, κ-carrageenan with a degree of polymerization of 4, were fragmented using a variety of CTD reagent gases, which included helium, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and lab air. The CTD results were also contrasted with low-energy collision-induced dissociation (LE-CID), which were collected on the same 3D ion trap. Using constant reagent ion fluxes and kinetic energies, all five alterative reagent gases generated remarkably consistent sequence coverage and fragmentation efficiencies relative to He-CTD, which suggests that the ionization energy of the reagent gas has a negligible effect on the activation of the biological ions. The CTD efficiencies of all the gases ranged from 11-13% for bradykinin and 7-8% for κ-carrageenan. Within these tight ranges, the abundance of the CTnoD peak of bradykinin and the efficiency of CTD fragmentation of bradykinin both correlated with the ionization energy of the CTD reagent gas, which suggests that resonant charge transfer plays a small role in the activation of this peptide. The majority of the excitation energy for bradykinin and for κ-carrageenan comes from an electron stopping mechanism, which is described by long-range interactions between the reagent cations and electrons in the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) of the biological ions. The CTD spectra do not provide any evidence for covalently bound products between the biological ions and the more-reactive gases like hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which implies that the high kinetic energies of the reagent ions make them unavailable for covalent reactions. This work demonstrates that any of the substitute reagent gases tested are viable options for future CTD-MS experiments.

Abstract
RATIONALE Methods for isomer discrimination by mass spectroscopy are of increasing interest. Here we describe the development of a three-dimensional ion trap for infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy that enables the acquisition of the infrared spectrum of selected ions in the gas phase. This system is suitable for the study of a myriad of chemical systems, including isomer mixtures. METHODS A modified three-dimensional ion trap was coupled to a CO2 laser and an optical parametric oscillator/optical parametric amplifier (OPO/OPA) system operating in the range 2300 to 4000 cm-1 . Density functional theory vibrational frequency calculations were carried out to support spectral assignments. RESULTS Detailed descriptions of the interface between the laser and the mass spectrometer, the hardware to control the laser systems, the automated system for IRMPD spectrum acquisition and data management are presented. The optimization of the crystal position of the OPO/OPA system to maximize the spectroscopic response under low-power laser radiation is also discussed. CONCLUSIONS OPO/OPA and CO2 laser-assisted dissociation of gas-phase ions was successfully achieved. The system was validated by acquiring the IRMPD spectra of model species and comparing with literature data. Two isomeric alkaloids of high economic importance were characterized to demonstrate the potential of this technique, which is now available as an open IRMPD spectroscopy facility in Brazil.

Abstract
Hydroxyproline is a common variation of proline, with diverse biological roles. The hydroxylation of proline gives rise to several (natural and/or synthetic) isomeric forms, including both positional isomers and stereoisomers. While mass spectrometry is widely touted as a very selective analytical technique, the identification of closely related isomers often poses a challenge. In these cases, allied technologies become helpful in providing full characterization. Here, infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is used to differentiate between three isomers, namely cis-3-hydroxyproline, cis-4-hydroxyproline, and trans-4-hydroxyproline. In contrast to the protonated species which show only minor variations in their IRMPD spectra, lithiated species were found to display significant spectral differences, making their differentiation more straightforward. The conformational origin of these spectral differences was investigated by complementary quantum-chemical calculations.

Abstract
The development of new ion-activation/dissociation methods continues to be one of the most active areas of mass spectrometry owing to the broad applications of tandem mass spectrometry in the identification and structural characterization of molecules. This Review will showcase the impact of ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) as a frontier strategy for generating informative fragmentation patterns of ions, especially for biological molecules whose complicated structures, subtle modifications, and large sizes often impede molecular characterization. UVPD energizes ions via absorption of high-energy photons, which allows access to new dissociation pathways relative to more conventional ion-activation methods. Applications of UVPD for the analysis of peptides, proteins, lipids, and other classes of biologically relevant molecules are emphasized in this Review.

Abstract
Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy allows for the derivation of the vibrational fingerprint of molecular ions under tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) conditions. It provides insight into the nature and localization of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) affecting single amino acids and peptides. IRMPD spectroscopy, which takes advantage of the high sensitivity and resolution of MS/MS, relies on a wavelength specific fragmentation process occurring on resonance with an IR active vibrational mode of the sampled species and is well suited to reveal the presence of a PTM and its impact in the molecular environment. IRMPD spectroscopy is clearly not a proteomics tool. It is rather a valuable source of information for fixed wavelength IRMPD exploited in dissociation protocols of peptides and proteins. Indeed, from the large variety of model PTM containing amino acids and peptides which have been characterized by IRMPD spectroscopy, specific signatures of PTMs such as phosphorylation or sulfonation can be derived. High throughput workflows relying on the selective fragmentation of modified peptides within a complex mixture have thus been proposed. Sequential fragmentations can be observed upon IR activation, which do not only give rise to rich fragmentation patterns but also overcome low mass cutoff limitations in ion trap mass analyzers. Laser-based vibrational spectroscopy of mass-selected ions holding various PTMs is an increasingly expanding field both in the variety of chemical issues coped with and in the technological advancements and implementations.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry represents an important analytical tool to unravel molecular structures and to study the gas-phase behavior of organic molecules. Besides commonly used methods like collision-induced dissociation and electron capture or transfer dissociation, new ultraviolet light-based techniques have the potential to synergistically add to the activation methods. Here, we present a new simple, yet robust, experimental design for polychromatic activation of trapped ions using the 115-160 nm output of a commercially available deuterium lamp. The resulting continuous dissociative excitation with photons of a wide energy range from 7.7 to 10.8 eV is studied for a comprehensive set of analyte classes in both positive and negative ion modes. While being simple, affordable, compact, and of low maintenance, the new setup initiates fragmentation of most precursor ions via their known dissociation pathways. Additionally, some new fragmentation patterns were discovered. Especially, electron loss and electron capture reactions with subsequent fragmentations were observed. For oligonucleotides, peptides, carbohydrates, and organic dyes, in comparison to collision-induced dissociation, a significantly wider fragment distribution was obtained, resulting in an information increase. Since the individual photons carry enough energy to post-ionize the nascent fragments, a permanent vacuum ultraviolet light exposure inside the ion trap potentially goes along with a general increase in detection capability.

Abstract
Quadrupole ion traps (QITs) are versatile platforms for performing experiments with gas-phase ions due to their abilities to store ions of both polarities and to conduct MSn experiments. The QIT is particularly useful as a reaction cell for ion/ion reactions. In the case of an ion/ion reaction experiment in a QIT, multiply charged reactant ions may initially be of relatively low m/z (e.g., m/z < 1000) whereas the product ions can be one or more orders of magnitude higher in m/z (e.g., m/z > 100,000). Several factors can limit the m/z range over which an ion/ion reaction experiment can be conducted. These include (1) the efficiency of the detector, (2) the m/z range over which oppositely charged ions can be mutually stored, and (3) the m/z range over which ions can be mass selectively ejected into an external detector. High-frequency waveforms provide larger m/z trapping ranges for mutual storage of oppositely charged ions whereas low-frequency waveforms provide better trapping for very high m/z product ions. Presented here is a method that switches from a high-frequency sine wave prior to and during an ion/ion reaction to a low-frequency square wave to eject low m/z reagent ions and improves confinement of the product ions before mass-selective ejection by scanning the frequency of the square wave. This approach addresses the third issue, which is the primary limiting factor with QITs operated at high RF (e.g., > 900 MHz). Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Recent advances in native mass spectrometry have enabled its use to probe the structure of and interactions within biomolecular complexes. Surface-induced dissociation, in which inter- and intramolecular interactions are disrupted following an energetic ion-surface collision, is a method that can directly interrogate the topology of protein complexes. However, a quantitative relationship between the ion kinetic energy at the moment of surface collision and the internal energy deposited into the ion has not yet been established for proteins. The factors affecting energy deposition in surface-induced unfolding (SIU) of protein monomers were investigated and a calibration relating laboratory-frame kinetic energy to internal energy developed. Protein monomers were unfolded by SIU and by collision-induced unfolding (CIU). CIU and SIU cause proteins to undergo the same unfolding transitions at different values of laboratory-frame kinetic energy. There is a strong correlation between the SIU and CIU energies, demonstrating that SIU, like CIU, can largely be understood as a thermal process. The change in internal energy in CIU was modeled using a Monte Carlo approach and theory. Computed values of the overall efficiency were found to be approximately 25% and used to rescale the CIU energy axis and relate nominal SIU energies to internal energy. The energy deposition efficiency in SIU increases with mass and kinetic energy from a low of ∼20% to a high of ∼68%, indicating that the effective mass of the surface increases along with the mass of the ion. The effect of ion structure on energy deposition was probed using multiple stages of ion activation. Energy deposition in SIU strongly depends on structure, decreasing as the protein is elongated, due to decreased effective protein-surface collisional cross section and increased transfer to rotational modes.

Abstract
Free radical-initiated peptide sequencing (FRIPS) has recently been introduced as an analytical strategy to create peptide radical ions in a predictable and effective way by collisional activation of specifically modified peptides ions. FRIPS is based on the unimolecular dissociation of open-shell ions and yields fragments that resemble those obtained by electron capture dissociation (ECD) or electron transfer dissociation (ETD). In this review article, we describe the fundamentals of FRIPS and highlight its fruitful combination with chemical cross-linking/mass spectrometry (MS) as a highly promising option to derive complementary structural information of peptides and proteins. FRIPS does not only yield exhaustive sequence information of cross-linked peptides, but also defines the exact cross-linking sites of the connected peptides. The development of more advanced FRIPS cross-linkers that extend the FRIPS-based cross-linking/MS approach to the study of large protein assemblies and protein interaction networks can be eagerly anticipated.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans are biopolymers present in mammalian cells or in the extracellular matrix. To address their structure, the nature of the hexuronic acids and the position of sulfate groups must be determined. Tandem mass spectrometry using collision induced dissociation or electron-based fragmentation techniques, is a well-established approach for the identification of glycans but suffers from the frequent lack of diagnostic fragments in the case of glycosaminoglycans. This review presents alternative fragmentation techniques, namely photofragmentation in the IR and the UV ranges. Alternative approaches based on the direct analysis of the molecular structure, including ion mobility spectrometry and ion spectroscopies are reviewed.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based methods have made significant progress in characterizing post-translational modifications in peptides and proteins; however, certain aspects regarding fragmentation methods must still be improved. A good technique is expected to provide excellent sequence information, locate PTM sites, and retain the labile PTM groups. To address these issues, we investigate 10.6 μm IRMPD, 213 nm UVPD, and combined UV and IR photodissociation, known as HiLoPD (high-low photodissociation), for phospho-, sulfo-, and glyco-peptide cations. IRMPD shows excellent backbone fragmentation and produces equal numbers of N- and C-terminal ions. The results reveal that 213 nm UVPD and HiLoPD methods can provide diverse backbone fragmentation producing a/x, b/y, and c/z ions with excellent sequence coverage, locate PTM sites, and offer reasonable retention efficiency for phospho- and glyco-peptides. Excellent sequence coverage is achieved for sulfo-peptides and the position of the SO3 group can be pinpointed; however, widespread SO3 losses are detected irrespective of the methods used herein. Based on the overall performance achieved, we believe that 213 nm UVPD and HiLoPD can serve as alternative options to collision activation and electron transfer dissociations for phospho- and glyco-proteomics.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a crucial technique for the analysis of protein complexes. Native MS has traditionally examined protein subunit arrangements, while proteomics MS has focused on sequence identification. These two techniques are usually performed separately without taking advantage of the synergies between them. Here we describe the development of an integrated native MS and top-down proteomics method using Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) to analyse macromolecular protein complexes in a single experiment. We address previous concerns of employing FTICR MS to measure large macromolecular complexes by demonstrating the detection of complexes up to 1.8 MDa, and we demonstrate the efficacy of this technique for direct acquirement of sequence to higher-order structural information with several large complexes. We then summarize the unique functionalities of different activation/dissociation techniques. The platform expands the ability of MS to integrate proteomics and structural biology to provide insights into protein structure, function and regulation.

Abstract
RATIONALE Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is the pivotal tool for protein structural characterization and quantification. Identification relies on the fragmentation step of tryptic peptides in bottom-up strategy. Specificity of fragmentation can be obtained using laser-induced dissociation (LID) in the visible range, after tagging of the targeted peptides with an adequate chromophore. Backbone fragmentation is required to obtain specific fragments and confident identification. We present herein a study of fragmentation patterns of chromophore-tagged peptides in LID, showing the potential of LID methodology to provide the maximum number of fragments for further identification and quantification. METHODS A total of 401 cysteine-containing tryptic peptides originating from the human proteome were derivatizated on the thiol group of cysteine with a Dabcyl maleimide chromophore, which has a high photo-absorption cross section at 473 nm. The derivatized peptides were then analyzed by LID at 473 nm on a Q Exactive instrument. RESULTS LID spectra present a characteristic fragment at m/z 252.112 for all precursors. This product ion arises from the internal dissociation of the Dabcyl chromophore. Several peptide-backbone fragment ions are also detected. Results show the quasi absence of fragmentation at the cysteine site. This indicates that part of the energy must be redistributed across the entire system despite excitation initially localized at the chromophore. Indeed, the fragmentation mainly occurs at 3 to 5 amino acids from the derivatized cysteine residue. CONCLUSIONS LID of derivatized cysteine-containing peptides displays the initial fragmentation of the chromophore. As energy is redistributed all along the peptide sequence, fragmentation of the peptide backbone is also observed. Thus, LID of chromophore-tagged peptides produces adequate fragment ions, allowing both good sequence coverage for a greater confidence of identification, and a large choice of transitions for specific quantification.

Abstract
The visible photodissociation mechanisms of QSY7-tagged peptides of increasing size have been investigated by coupling a mass spectrometer and an optical parametric oscillator laser beam. The experiments herein consist of energy resolved collision- and laser-induced dissociation measurements on the chromophore-tagged peptides. The results show that fragmentation occurs by similar channels in both activation methods, but that the branching ratios are vastly different. Observation of a size-dependent minimum laser pulse energy required to induce fragmentation, and collisional cooling rates in time resolved experiments show that laser-induced dissociation occurs through the absorption of multiple photons by the chromophore and the subsequent heating through vibrational energy redistribution. The differences in branching ratio between collision- and laser-induced dissociation can then be understood by the highly anisotropic energy distribution following absorption of a photon.

Abstract
N-terminal derivatization of peptides with the chromogenic reagent 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (SITS) is demonstrated to enhance the efficiency of 266 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD). Attachment of the chromophore results in a mass shift of 454 Da and provides significant gains in the number and abundances of diagnostic fragment ions upon UVPD. Activation of SITS-tagged peptides with 266 nm UVPD leads to many fragment ions akin to the a/b/y ions commonly produced by CID, along with other sequence ions (c, x, and z) typically accessed through higher energy pathways. Extreme bias towards C-terminal fragment ions is observed upon activation of SITS-tagged peptides using multiple 266 nm laser pulses. Due to the high reaction efficiency of the isothiocyanate coupling to the N-terminus of peptides, we demonstrate the ability to adapt this strategy to a high-throughput LC-MS/MS workflow with 266 nm UVPD.

Abstract
Peptide cation-radical fragment ions of the z-type, [●AXAR+], [●AXAK+], and [●XAR+], where X = A, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, M, N, P, Y, and W, were generated by electron transfer dissociation of peptide dications and investigated by MS3-near-ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) at 355 nm. Laser-pulse dependence measurements indicated that the ion populations were homogeneous for most X residues except phenylalanine. UVPD resulted in dissociations of backbone CO─NH bonds that were accompanied by hydrogen atom transfer, producing fragment ions of the [yn]+ type. Compared with collision-induced dissociation, UVPD yielded less side-chain dissociations even for residues that are sensitive to radical-induced side-chain bond cleavages. The backbone dissociations are triggered by transitions to second (B) excited electronic states in the peptide ion R-CH●-CONH- chromophores that are resonant with the 355-nm photon energy. Electron promotion increases the polarity of the B excited states, R-CH+-C●(O-)NH-, and steers the reaction to proceed by transfer of protons from proximate acidic Cα and amide nitrogen positions.

Abstract
RATIONALE In a bid to develop a mass spectrometer using ac frequency scanning for ion isolation, ion activation, and ion ejection, we have developed scan functions for each process using the inverse Mathieu q scan. METHODS Ion isolation is accomplished by frequency hopping, that is, by skipping past the ranges of frequencies corresponding to the ions to be isolated during the frequency sweep. Multigenerational collision-induced dissociation is demonstrated by scanning the frequency of excitation from low to high so that multiple generations of product ions can be observed in the product ion mass spectra. Because the excitation frequency is scanned quickly across a large range, fragmentation of some precursor ions can be too limited. However, by first fixing the excitation frequency on the precursor ion and then scanning the frequency using the inverse Mathieu q scan, a higher abundance of product ions can be obtained. RESULTS Isolation of a single mass-to-charge (m/z) as well as nonadjacent m/z ions is demonstrated with isolation efficiency greater than 70%. Fragmentation of caffeine and noroxycodone is demonstrated, the latter of which shows multiple generations of product ions. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated here provide strong evidence that an ion trap mass spectrometer can be operated without using an rf amplitude ramp for any operation, and instead ac frequency scanning can be used for all mass-selective operations.

Abstract
Herein we report the successful implementation of the consecutive and simultaneous photodissociation with high (213 nm) and low (10.6 μm) energy photons (HiLoPD, high-low photodissociation) on ubiquitin in a quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Absorption of high-energy UV photon is dispersed over the whole protein and stimulates extensive C-Cα backbone fragmentation, whereas low-energy IR photon gradually increases the internal energy and thus preferentially dissociates the most labile amide (C-N) bonds. We noticed that simultaneous irradiation of UV and IR lasers on intact ubiquitin in a single MS/MS experiment provides a rich and well-balanced fragmentation array of a/x, b/y, and z ions. Moreover, secondary fragmentation from a/x and z ions leads to the formation of satellite side-chain ions (d, v, and w) and can help to distinguish isomeric residues in a protein. Implementation of high-low photodissociation in a high-resolution mass spectrometer may offer considerable benefits to promote a comprehensive portrait of protein characterization.

Abstract
Collision-induced dissociation (CID) is the dominant method for probing intact macromolecular complexes in the gas phase by means of mass spectrometry (MS). The energy obtained from collisional activation is dependent on the charge state of the ion and the pressures and potentials within the instrument: these factors limit CID capability. Activation by infrared (IR) laser radiation offers an attractive alternative as the radiation energy absorbed by the ions is charge-state-independent and the intensity and time scale of activation is controlled by a laser source external to the mass spectrometer. Here we implement and apply IR activation, in different irradiation regimes, to study both soluble and membrane protein assemblies. We show that IR activation using high-intensity pulsed lasers is faster than collisional and radiative cooling and requires much lower energy than continuous IR irradiation. We demonstrate that IR activation is an effective means for studying membrane protein assemblies, and liberate an intact V-type ATPase complex from detergent micelles, a result that cannot be achieved by means of CID using standard collision energies. Notably, we find that IR activation can be sufficiently soft to retain specific lipids bound to the complex. We further demonstrate that, by applying a combination of collisional activation, mass selection, and IR activation of the liberated complex, we can elucidate subunit stoichiometry and the masses of specifically bound lipids in a single MS experiment.

Abstract
Nucleic acids play key roles in the storage and processing of genetic information, as well as in the regulation of cellular processes. Consequently, they represent attractive targets for drugs against gene-related diseases. On the other hand, synthetic oligonucleotide analogues have found application as chemotherapeutic agents targeting cellular DNA and RNA. The development of effective nucleic acid-based chemotherapeutic strategies requires adequate analytical techniques capable of providing detailed information about the nucleotide sequences, the presence of structural modifications, the formation of higher-order structures, as well as the interaction of nucleic acids with other cellular components and chemotherapeutic agents. Due to the impressive technical and methodological developments of the past years, tandem mass spectrometry has evolved to one of the most powerful tools supporting research related to nucleic acids. This review covers the literature of the past decade devoted to the tandem mass spectrometric investigation of nucleic acids, with the main focus on the fundamental mechanistic aspects governing the gas-phase dissociation of DNA, RNA, modified oligonucleotide analogues, and their adducts with metal ions. Additionally, recent findings on the elucidation of nucleic acid higher-order structures by tandem mass spectrometry are reviewed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., Mass Spec Rev 35:483-523, 2016.

JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2015; 50:1438-1442.

Abstract
We report the first example of using ultraviolet (UV) photodissociation action spectroscopy for the investigation of gas-phase peptide cation-radicals produced by electron transfer dissociation. z-Type fragment ions (●) Gly-Gly-Lys(+), coordinated to 18-crown-6-ether (CE), are generated, selected by mass and photodissociated in the 200-400 nm region. The UVPD action spectra indicate the presence of valence-bond isomers differing in the position of the Cα radical defect, (α-Gly)-Gly-Lys(+) (CE), Gly-(α-Gly)-Lys(+) (CE) and Gly-Gly-(α-Lys(+))(CE). The isomers are readily distinguishable by UV absorption spectra obtained by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. In contrast, conformational isomers of these radical types are calculated to have similar UV spectra. UV photodissociation action spectroscopy represents a new tool for the investigation of transient intermediates of ion-electron reactions. Specifically, z-type cation radicals are shown to undergo spontaneous hydrogen atom migrations upon electron transfer dissociation.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2015; 29:1898-1904.

Abstract
RATIONALE Many fundamental studies are motivated by the probable relationship between the presence of rare enol tautomers of nucleobases and point mutation developing during nucleic acid replication. The evaluation of the tautomeric behaviour of nucleobases is therefore of fundamental importance. This can be probed in the gas phase by combining action spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. METHODS Experimental Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation spectra in the fingerprint region of electrospray-generated and subsequently selected ions were recorded at the CLIO free electron laser (FEL) facility, by coupling the FEL to a quadrupole ion trap, and compared to calculated harmonic vibrational infrared spectra of the different low-lying isomers computed at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level. Relative energies were refined using the extended basis set 6-311++G(3df,2p). RESULTS The Density Functional Theory (DFT) study shows that, as for protonated thymine, the global energy minimum of protonated thymidine corresponds to an enol tautomer, whose infrared absorption spectrum is found to be in very good agreement with the experimental IRMPD spectrum. A very weak IRMPD signal observed at ~1780 cm(-1) is very likely the signature of an oxo tautomer. Consequently, as for thymine, protonated thymidine generated by electrospray corresponds to a mixture of at least two tautomeric forms. CONCLUSIONS Tautomerization can be characterized by IRMPD spectroscopy. Interestingly, the dominant enolic tautomeric form(s) presently observed cannot be directly generated from the most stable neutral tautomer of the thymine residue.

Abstract
A moderate-resolution infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum of protonated bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether (diglyme) was obtained using a grating-tuned CO2 laser. The experimental spectrum compares well with one calculated theoretically at the MP2 level and exhibits defined peaks over the span of the CO2 laser output lines as opposed to a relatively featureless spectrum over this wavelength range obtained using free electron laser infrared radiation. The lowest energy structure corresponding to the calculated vibrational spectrum is consistent with structures previously calculated at the same level of theory. Alternative structures were calculated at lower levels of theory for comparison and investigation of the energetics of proton-heteroatom interactions. Broadening of the IRMPD action spectrum due to energetic phenomena characteristic of proton bridges was not observed and thus did not obscure the correlation between theoretical calculations and experimentally determined spectra as it may have in previous studies.

Abstract
The proteomic analysis of glycosylation is uniquely challenging. The numerous and varied biological roles of protein-linked glycans have fueled a tremendous demand for technologies that enable rapid, in-depth structural examination of glycosylated proteins in complex biological systems. In turn, this demand has driven many innovations in wide ranging fields of bioanalytical science. This review will summarize key developments in glycoprotein separation and enrichment, glycoprotein proteolysis strategies, glycopeptide separation and enrichment, the role of mass measurement accuracy in glycopeptide detection, glycopeptide ion dissociation methods for MS/MS, and informatic tools for glycoproteomic analysis. In aggregate, this selection of topics serves to encapsulate the present status of MS-based analytical technologies for engaging the challenges of glycoproteomic analysis.

Abstract
In an effort to better characterize the fragmentation pathways promoted by ultraviolet photoexcitation in comparison to collision induced dissociation (CID), six adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) peptides in a range of charge states were subjected to 266 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), 193 nm UVPD, and CID. Similar fragment ions and distributions were observed for 266 nm UVPD and 193 nm UVPD for all peptides investigated. While both UVPD and CID led to preferential cleavage of the Y-S bond for all ACTH peptides [except ACTH (1-39)], UVPD was far less dependent on charge state and location of basic sites for the production of C-terminal and N-terminal ions. For ACTH (1-16), ACTH (1-17), ACTH (1-24), and ACTH (1-39), changes in the distributions of fragment ion types (a, b, c, x, y, z, and collectively N-terminal ions versus C-terminal ions) showed only minor changes upon UVPD for all charge states. In contrast, CID displayed significant changes in the fragment ion type distributions as a function of charge state, an outcome consistent with the dependence on the number and location of mobile protons that is not prominent for UVPD. Sequence coverages obtained by UVPD showed less dependence on charge state than those determined by CID, with the latter showing a consistent decrease in coverage as charge state increased.

Abstract
An ion mobility mass spectrometer has been modified to allow optical interrogation of ions with different mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios and/or mobilities (K). An ion gating and trapping procedure has been developed which allows us to store ions for several seconds enabling UV photodissociation (UVPD).

Abstract
A combined computational and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopic investigation shows that protonated d-(+)-biotin, formed in the gas phase by ESI-MS, acquires a folded structure with proton bonding between the ureido and valeryl carbonyls, and that only a single conformer of such a structure predominates. A uniform frequency vs distance correlation function is proposed for the O(+)-H···O and N-H···O bonds involved in the folded conformers of O2'-protonated d-(+)-biotin in the gas phase which, therefore, depends exclusively on the corresponding geometric parameters.

Abstract
IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy of cis-[Pt(NH3)2(5'-dGMP-H)](+) and cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(5'-dGMP)](+) ions (where 5'-dGMP is 2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-monophosphate), generated in the gas phase by electrospray ionization, was performed in two spectral regions, namely, 700-1900 cm(-1) and 2800-3800 cm(-1). For structural assignment, experimental IRMPD spectra were compared to IR spectra computed at the B3LYP/LACV3P/6-311G** level of theory. In agreement with computational results, the vibrational spectroscopic characterization of the cis-[Pt(NH3)2(5'-dGMP-H)](+) ion points to macrochelate species resulting from the simultaneous interaction of the metal with both the N7 atom of the guanine residue and an O atom of the phosphate group, structures that bear features in common with those characterized in solution by NMR spectroscopy. Concerning the cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(5'-dGMP)](+) ion, our study points to a monodentate complex involving exclusively the N7 position of guanine, as observed in solution. Also this species exhibits a compact form due to the formation of two hydrogen bonds involving the same ammonia ligand. For both complexes, IRMPD experiments show that a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond is established between one ammonia hydrogen and the carbonyl group of guanine. The strength of this particular interaction can be qualitatively estimated by looking at the redshift of the CO vibration with respect to an unperturbed C═O stretching mode in the fingerprint region. This point is also highlighted in the X-H (X = N, O) stretch region, by the shift of the N-H stretch frequency as a function of the number of hydrogen bonds involving the ammonia ligand.

Abstract
Proteins present in cellular environments with high levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and/or low levels of antioxidants are highly susceptible to oxidative post-translational modification (PTM). Irreversible oxidative PTMs can generate a complex distribution of modified protein molecules, recently termed as proteoforms. Using ubiquitin as a model system, we mapped oxidative modification sites using trypsin, Lys-C, and Glu-C peptides. Several M+16 Da proteoforms were detected as well as proteoforms that include other previously unidentified oxidative modifications. This work highlights the use of multiple protease digestions to give insights to the complexity of oxidative modifications possible in bottom-up analyses.
