Abstract
Protonated tryptic peptides, somatostatin-14, and oxytocin have been subjected to reactions with doubly deprotonated 4-formyl-1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid (FBDSA) in the gas phase. The major product is a negatively-charged complex comprised of the peptide and the reagent. Upon dehydration of the complex, all peptides show evidence for Schiff base formation involving a primary amine of the peptide. Some peptides also show evidence for the formation of a relatively strong electrostatic interaction without Schiff base formation (i.e., a mixture of isomeric precursor ions is generated upon dehydration of the complex). Ion trap collision-induced dissociation of the dehydration products from all peptides examined gave distinct product ion spectra relative to the deprotonated and protonated forms of the peptides. The distinct behavior of the modified ions is attributed to the highly stable charge carrying sulfonate group, which tends to inhibit intramolecular proton transfer in negatively charged species. Modified anions of the peptides with an intramolecular disulfide linkage show evidence for cleavage of both the disulfide linkage and an amide bond in the loop defined by the disulfide bond. Modification of protonated peptides via charge inversion with FBDSA is a useful means for generating novel and distinct ion-types that can provide complementary structural information upon subsequent activation to that obtained from dissociation of protonated or deprotonated forms of the peptide.

Abstract
De novo sequencing of tryptic peptides by post source decay (PSD) or collision induced dissociation (CID) analysis using MALDI TOF-TOF instruments is due to the easy interpretation facilitated by the introduction of N-terminal sulfonated derivatives. Recently, a stable and cheap reagent, 4-sulfophenyl isothiocyanate (SPITC), has been successfully used for N-terminal derivatization. Previously described methods have always used desalting and concentration by reverse-phase chromatography prior to mass spectrometric analysis. Here we present an on-target sample preparation method based on AnchorChip target technology. The method was optimized for reduction of by-products and sensitivity with SPITC-derivatized tryptic BSA peptides, and successfully applied to protein identification from silver-stained two-dimensional electrophoretic gels of fish liver extracts. The method is simple and sensitive and allowed protein identification based on de novo sequencing and BLAST search from species with limited sequence information.

Abstract
Two methods of differential isotopic coding of carboxylic groups have been developed to date. The first approach uses d0- or d3-methanol to convert carboxyl groups into the corresponding methyl esters. The second relies on the incorporation of two 18O atoms into the C-terminal carboxylic group during tryptic digestion of proteins in H(2)18O. However, both methods have limitations such as chromatographic separation of 1H and 2H derivatives or overlap of isotopic distributions of light and heavy forms due to small mass shifts. Here we present a new tagging approach based on the specific incorporation of sulfanilic acid into carboxylic groups. The reagent was synthesized in a heavy form (13C phenyl ring), showing no chromatographic shift and an optimal isotopic separation with a 6 Da mass shift. Moreover, sulfanilic acid allows for simplified fragmentation in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) due the charge fixation of the sulfonate group at the C-terminus of the peptide. The derivatization is simple, specific and minimizes the number of sample treatment steps that can strongly alter the sample composition. The quantification is reproducible within an order of magnitude and can be analyzed either by electrospray ionization (ESI) or MALDI. Finally, the method is able to specifically identify the C-terminal peptide of a protein by using GluC as the proteolytic enzyme.

Abstract
Studies on the applications, energetics, and mechanisms of charge-remote fragmentations are reviewed, with emphasis given to those articles published after 1992. Independent of the charge status, charge-remote fragmentations are analogous to gas-phase thermolysis. Under collisional activation and with a fixed charge, ions containing long-chain or poly-ring structures undergo charge-remote fragmentations, generating productions that are structurally informative. Interpretation of the production spectra enables one to elucidate molecular structures. Although charge-remote fragmentations have been successfully used in the structural determination of fatty acids, phospholipids, glycolipids, triacylglycerols, steroids, peptides, ceramides, and other systems, the energetics and mechanisms of these reactions are still debated because none of the existing mechanisms can explain all the experimental data.

Abstract
A series of synthetic peptides (3-15 residues), C-terminally derivatized with 4-aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid (ansa), have been analyzed on a hybrid magnetic sector-orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer, fitted with a nano-electrospray (nano-ES) interface. Deprotonated molecules generated by negative-ion ES were subjected to collision-induced dissociation (CID) using either methane or xenon as the collision gas, at a collision energy of 400 eV (laboratory frame of reference). As a consequence of charge localization on the sulfonate group, only C-terminal fragment ions were formed, presumably by charge-remote fragmentation mechanisms. Interpretable CID spectra were obtained from fmol amounts of the small peptides (up to 6 residues), whereas low pmol amounts were required for the larger peptides. CID spectra were also recorded of derivatized, previously noncharacterised peptides obtained by proteolysis of cytosolic hamster liver aldehyde dehydrogenase. Interpretation of these CID spectra was based on rules established for the fragmentation of the synthetic peptides. This study shows that derivatization with ansa may be useful in the de novo sequencing of peptides.

Abstract
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to monitor the uptake of organic anions from solution by aminoethanethiol (AET) monolayers on Au substrates, as a test of the applicability of this monolayer as a substrate for organic SIMS analysis. Event-by-event bombardment and detection mode coupled with coincidence counting allowed the atomic and polyatomic projectile impacts on a particular sample surface to be compared simultaneously and under the same experimental conditions. The mass spectra produced from the monolayer surface and those from Au and Si blanks demonstrate that the AET monolayer is important to the uptake of the organic anion. The exchanged monolayer surfaces were used to measure secondary ion yields, defined as the number of secondary ions detected per incident primary ion, produced from ultrathin films by (CsI)nCs+ (n = 0-2) projectiles at the limit of single-ion impacts. The yield of a tetradecyl sulfate (IDS) anion was improved by a factor of 200 using the AET substrate instead of the thick salt target. The intact ion and fragment ion yield trends produced from the AET surface were measured as a function of number of atoms in the primary projectile and energy. We observed a yield increase for both the intact ion and the fragment ion with the projectile complexity and energy. The increase in yield per projectile atom was linear for the emission of intact TDS and intact dodecyl sulfate from the AET surfaces. A supralinear yield enhancement, however, was observed for the fragment ion SO3- when the three-atom (CsI)Cs+ cluster was used. The experiments demonstrate that the various organosulfate and suffonates are weakly bound to the AET surface and their adsorption to the AET monolayer is reversible. The utility of the AET monolayer on Au was also tested as a general substrate for the characterization of derivatized organic molecules with biological and industrial importance by TOF-SIMS.

Abstract
The fragmentation of peptides, to which a positive charge is attached at the N-terminus, was studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization postsource decay mass spectrometry. In these experiments, the tris[(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium] acetyl group is covalently attached. The main advantage of this modification is that the resulting spectra are simplified and the fragment ions observed consist predominantly of a(n)-type ions. We report the results for charge-derivatized peptides formed following enzymatic digestion of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Specific fragmentation of bonds within aspargine and threonine residues are observed and are discussed. The understanding of the mechanistic aspects of the fragmentation process is essential to formulate a simple and straightforward mass spectrometric strategy for peptide sequencing using these charged derivatives.

Abstract
The development of a new derivative, the dimethylaminoethyl ester, for the analysis of fatty acids by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry is described. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of long to very long chain fatty acids in plasma, blood, urine and wax were performed. Branched chain, unsaturated, dicarboxylic, hydroxy, amino and keto acids were studied. The quantitative analysis method using the new derivative is simple, rapid and precise with small sample size. It has good potential as a screening method for biologically important fatty acids. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Small molecules formed during lipid peroxidation can react with the basic groups in proteins through different mechanisms. Recently, substituted pyridinium moieties were observed during in vitro incubations of lysine-containing peptides with 2-alkenals. To explore the dissociation behavior of peptides with pyridinium-derivatized lysine residues, the peptide ions created through either matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization or electrospray ionization were studied with tandem mass spectrometry. The permanently charged pyridinium ions fragment primarily through the charge-remote processes. Under high energy collision-induced dissociation, a number of diagnostic ions were observed that could potentially be used to identify modified residues in proteins. The origins of these ions were studied using deuterium exchange and higher-order mass spectrometry experiments using an ion trap instrument. Rational structures for these ions are proposed.

Abstract
A fused-silica capillary high-performance liquid chromatography column (i.d. 0.25 mm) packed with octadecylsilane-bonded silica has been used on-line with continuous-flow negative-ion fast-atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry for the separation and structural analysis of series of fatty acids and arachidonic acid metabolites derivatized with 4-aminobenzenesulphonic acid. Negative-ion FAB spectra of the derivatized lipids showed strong [M-H] pseudomolecular ions. Collision-induced dissociation of these anions produced structurally informative daughter ions, arising from charge-remote fragmentations.
