Abstract
Formation of noncovalent complexes is one of the approaches to perform chiral analysis with mass spectrometry. Enantiomeric distinction of amino acids (AAs) based on the relative rate constants of competitive fragmentations of quaternary copper complexes is an efficient method for chiral differentiation. Here, we studied the complex [CuII,(Phe,PhG,Pro-H)]+ (m/z 493) under resonant collision-induced dissociation conditions while varying the activation time. The precursor ion can yield two main fragments through the loss of the non-natural AA phenylglycine (PhG): the expected product ion [CuII,(Phe,Pro-H)]+ (m/z 342) and the reduced product ion [CuI,(Phe,Pro)]+ (m/z 343). Enantioselective reduction describes the difference in relative abundance of these ions, which depends on the chirality of the precursor ion: the formation of the reduced ion m/z 343 is favored in homochiral complexes (DDD) compared to heterochiral complexes (such as LDD). Energy-resolved mass spectrometry data show that reduction, which arises from rearrangement, is favored at a low collision energy (CE) and long activation time (ActT), whereas direct cleavage preferentially occurs at a high CE and short ActT. These results were confirmed with kinetic modeling based on RRKM theory. For this modeling, it was necessary to set a pre-exponential factor as a reference, so that the E0 values obtained are relative values. Interestingly, these simulations showed that the critical energy E0 required to form the reduced ion is comparable in both homochiral and heterochiral complexes. However, the formation of product ion m/z 342 through direct cleavage is associated with a lower E0 in heterochiral complexes. Consequently, enantioselectivity would not be caused by enhanced reduction in homochiral complexes but rather by direct cleavage being favored in heterochiral complexes.

Abstract
The use of mass spectrometry for chiral recognition and quantification has attracted great interest owing to its speed, sensitivity, specificity, and tolerance. However, searching for chiral selectors in chiral analyses using mass spectrometry is still problematic. In this study, chiral drugs could be applied as references for the chiral recognition and enantiomeric quantification of valsartan and voriconazole. Two novel pairs of metal-bound diastereomeric complex ions were detected by mass spectrometry, namely, nickel (II)-bound dimeric ions [NiII (2R,5S-emtricitabine) (S-valsartan)-H]+ and [NiII (2R,5S-emtricitabine) (R-valsartan)-H]+ and copper (II)-bound dimeric ions [CuII (S,S,S-enalaprilat) (2S,3R-voriconazole)-H]+ and [CuII (S,S,S-enalaprilat) (2R,3S-voriconazole)-H]+ . The resulting diastereomers were successfully identified based on the relative intensities of their characteristic fragments using tandem mass spectrometry. The logarithm of the characteristic fragment ion abundance ratio exhibited a good linear relationship with the enantiomeric excess. Density functional theory calculations were also performed to elucidate the mechanism of the structural differences observed in the MS results. This established approach proves that chiral drugs can serve as ligands for the rapid recognition and quantitative analysis of other chiral drugs without a chiral chromatographic column or complex sample pretreatment.

Abstract
Previous work has demonstrated that copper complexation strategies can be used with tandem MS (MS/MS) and, more recently, ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) to differentiate chiral isomers based upon enantiomeric-specific binding. In this study, we investigate the separation of chiral amino acids (AAs) forming trinuclear complexes that can be directly resolved by IM-MS analyses. Twenty standard AAs of both d- and l-chirality were investigated. Specific AAs including d/l-histidine, d/l-proline, d/l-glutamine, d/l-tyrosine, and d/l-tryptophan were evaluated as "chiral selectors" that, when combined with copper, were found to promote selective complexation with specific AA enantiomers. Significant enantiomer differentiation was observed in the IM spectra for hydrophobic AAs acids with peak-to-peak resolutions ranging from 0.63 to 1.15. Among the chiral selectors investigated, histidine provided the best enantioselectivity, followed by tryptophan, suggesting the aromatic structure plays an important role in forming chiral-specific ion complexes. Unlike MS/MS methods where chiral selectors with l-stereochemistry enhance the differentiation, the chirality of the selector was found to have no significant effect on observed IM separation with both d- and l-selectors providing similar resolutions but with inverted IM arrival time ordering. To investigate the structural differences between resolvable chiral complexes, a combination of MS/MS, collision cross-section (CCS) measurements, and molecular mechanics techniques was used. Candidate trinuclear structures of the stoichiometry [(Cu2+)3(d/lIle)3(lHis)2 - 5H]+ were constructed with guidance from empirical MS/MS results. Of the 48 theoretical structures generated, one enantiomeric cluster pair yielded close correlation (<1%) with experimental CCS measurements, suggesting the most enantioselective ion complexes observed in this work are bridged by three coppers.

Abstract
A series of copper(II) complexes with chiral tetradentate ligands, N,N′-ethylene- bis(S-amino acid methyl amide or methyl ester) prepared from S-alanine, S-phenylalanine, S-valine or S-proline, was generated in methanol. The copper complexes provided three component complexes in the presence of a free chiral amino acid. The enantioselectivity for the amino acid was evaluated by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry coupled with the deuterium-labeled enantiomer method and these copper complexes were found to exhibit high enantioselectivity for free amino acids having bulky side chains. This result suggests that steric interaction between the tetradentate ligand and free amino acid was a major factor in chiral recognition. The copper complex with a chiral tetradentate ligand prepared from S-proline showed opposite enantioselectivity to copper complexes consisting of tetradentate ligands prepared from other S-amino acids. The conformational difference of the tetradentate ligand in the copper complex was found to be significant for enantioselectivity.

Abstract
RATIONALE A potential use of disaccharides was found as reference compounds in the kinetic method for chiral recognition and enantiomeric quantification. METHODS The experimental procedure consists of three steps: (1) mixing a metal salt, an analyte and a disaccharide at a molar ratio of 1:2:2 with an analyte concentration of 20 μM; (2) introducing the mixture into an electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry source; (3) isolating the ion [MII (ref*)2 (A) - H]+ and subjecting it to dissociation. Then through the relative ratio of two product ions combined with the kinetic method, chiral recognition and enantiomeric quantification can be achieved. RESULTS The method was verified with good chiral recognition for ten chiral amino acids and three chiral drugs. Among the ten amino acids, Tyr was observed to show best chiral selectivity (Rchiral = 1.62) and good linearity with the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9991 for the quantitation of the enantiomeric excess (ee) of D-Tyr. Among the tested chiral drugs, naproxen showed best chiral selectivity with Rchiral = 1.56 and good linearity with the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9997 for the quantitation of the ee of R-naproxen. CONCLUSIONS This established approach proves that a disaccharide can serve as a reference compound for chiral recognition using the kinetic method.

Abstract
Here we present the implementation of 213-nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) in a FT-ICR mass spectrometer for chiral differentiation in the gas phase. The L/D amino acid-substituted serine octamer ions were selected as examples of diastereoisomers for chiral analysis. Several kinds of fragment ions were observed in these experiments, including fragment ions that are similar to the ones observed in corresponding collision-activated dissociation (CAD) experiments, fragment ions generated with different protonation sites by only destroying non-covalent bonds, and unique non-covalent cluster radical ions. The latter two kinds of fragment ions are found to be more sensitive to the chirality of the substituted units. Further experiments suggest that the formation of radical ions is mainly affected by chromophores on side chains of the substituted units and micro surroundings of the characterized non-covalent diastereoisomers. A comparing experiment performed by only changing the wavelength of UV laser to 266 nm shows that the 213-nm UV laser has the priority in the diversity of fragmentation pathways and potential of further application in chiral differentiation experiments.

Abstract
A mass spectrometric method is introduced for rapid and accurate chiral quantification by examining a trimeric metal complex into which a chiral reference is incorporated with the analyte. Several metal ions (CuII , NiII , MgII , MnII , CoII , and ZnII ) were selected as the central metal ion, and chiral drugs ezetimibe (EZM) and ambrisentan (AMB) were used as the reference to each other for isomeric differentiation by using electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Doubly charged trimeric cluster ions instead of the singly charged clusters were applied in this study. Kinetic method (KM) and chiral recognition (CR) method were used for construction of a calibration curve for chiral quantitation. The results from the two methods were found to be complementary to each other, which improved quantitative analysis of stereoisomers for EZM. Furthermore, we have successfully used S-AMB as reference for the chiral differentiation of enantiomeric atorvastatin (ATO), which is frequently combined with EZM as a codrug. Experimental results showed that the binary mixture of EZM and ATO enantiomers can be determined simultaneously without prior separation steps. The direct measurement of chiral purity within 5% was demonstrated. This mass spectrometric method represents an effective alternative to commonly used chromatographic techniques as means of chiral purity determination and is of potential use in rapid screening experiments.

Abstract
This review presents an overview and recent progress of strategies for detecting isomerism in peptides, with focus on d/l epimerization and the various isomers that the presence of an aspartic acid residue may yield in a protein or peptide. While mass spectrometry has become a majorly used method of choice within proteomics, isomerism is inherently difficult to analyze because it is a modification that does not yield any change in mass of the analyte. Here, several techniques used for analysis of peptide isomerism are discussed, including enzymatic assays, liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis. Recent progress in method development using mass spectrometry is also discussed, including labeling strategies, fragmentation techniques, and ion-mobility spectrometry.

Three ways of realizing mass-selective chiral analysis are reviewed. The first is based on the formation of diastereomers that are of homo- and hetero- type with respect to the enantiomers of involved chiral molecules. This way is quite well-established with numerous applications. The other two ways are more recent developments, both based on circular dichroism (CD). In one, conventional or nonlinear electronic CD is linked to mass spectrometry (MS) by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. The other is based on CD in the angular distribution of photoelectrons, which is measured in combination with MS via photoion photoelectron coincidence. Among the many important applications of mass-selective chiral analysis, this review focuses on its use as an analytical tool for the development of heterogeneous enantioselective chemical catalysis. There exist other approaches to combine chiral analysis and mass-selective detection, such as chiral chromatography MS, which are not discussed here.

Abstract
RATIONALE Development of mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods for isomeric differentiation remains a challenging analytical task, and has attracted the interest of many research groups. It is relevant to develop a general method to differentiate the isomeric halogenated phenylmethylidene hydrazinecarbodithioates (MX, X = F, Cl, Br). METHODS Diluted CH3 CN solutions containing NiCl2 and a title isomer (MX) were analyzed by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)) in a quadrupole ion trap instrument equipped with an ESI source. Theoretical calculations were performed using the density functional theory (DFT) method at the uB3LYP/6-31+G(2d,p) level. RESULTS In MS(3) experiments, the complex [MX + SCH3 + Ni](+) ion, resulting from dissociation of the ESI-generated complex [2MX - H + Ni](+) ion, undergoes ligand-exchange reactions with residual gas molecules, such as water, acetonitrile, and nitrogen in the ion trap, and the o-isomers [Mo-X + SCH3 + Ni](+) were found to undergo the characteristic HX elimination reactions to afford several unique ions. Each set of three isomers [MX + SCH3 + Ni](+) show significantly different reactivity, which has been corroborated by MS(4) experiments and theoretical calculations. CONCLUSIONS A rapid method based on metal complexation and tandem mass spectrometric (MS(n)) analysis has been developed to differentiate three sets of positional isomers of halogenated phenylmethylidene hydrazinecarbodithioates (MX, X = F, Cl, Br).

Abstract
Chiral recognition of d- and l-amino acids is achieved by a method combining electrospray ionization (ESI) and in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometry (MS). Trimeric cluster ions [Cu(II)(A)(ref)2-H](+) are formed by ESI of mixtures of d- or l-analyte amino acid (A), chiral reference (ref) and CuSO4. By increasing the applied voltage in the ESI source region, the trimeric ions become unstable and dissociate progressively. Thus chiral differentiation of the analyte can be achieved by comparing the dependence of their relative intensities to a reference ion on applied voltages. The method does not need MS/MS technique, thus can be readily performed on single-stage MS instruments by turning the voltage of sampling cone.

Abstract
With the fast growing market of pure enantiomer drugs and bioactive molecules, new chiral-selective analytical tools have been instigated including the use of mass spectrometry (MS). Even though MS is one of the best analytical tools that has efficiently been used in several pharmaceutical and biological applications, traditionally MS is considered as a "chiral-blind" technique. This limitation is due to the MS inability to differentiate between two enantiomers of a chiral molecule based merely on their masses. Several approaches have been explored to assess the potential role of MS in chiral analysis. The first approach depends on the use of MS-hyphenated techniques utilizing fast and sensitive chiral separation tools such as liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled to MS detector. More recently, several alternative separation techniques have been evaluated such as supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC); the latter being a hybrid technique that combines the efficiency of CE with the selectivity of LC. The second approach is based on using the MS instrument solely for the chiral recognition. This method depends on the behavioral differences between enantiomers towards a foreign molecule and the ability of MS to monitor such differences. These behavioral differences can be divided into three types: (i) differences in the enantiomeric affinity for association with the chiral selector, (ii) differences of the enantiomeric exchange rate with a foreign reagent, and (iii) differences in the complex MS dissociation behaviors of the enantiomers. Most recently, ion mobility spectrometry was introduced to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate chiral compounds. This article provides an overview of MS role in chiral analysis by discussing MS based methodologies and presenting the challenges and promises associated with each approach.

Abstract
The IRMPD spectra of the ESI-formed proton-bound complexes of the R,R,R,R- and S,S,S,S-enantiomers of a bis(diamido)-bridged basket resorcin[4]arene (R and S) with cytosine (1), cytidine (2), and cytarabine (3) were measured in the region 2800-3600 cm(-1). Comparison of the IRMPD spectra with the corresponding ONIOM (B3LYP/6-31(d):UFF)-calculated absorption frequencies allowed the assessment of the vibrational modes that are responsible for the observed spectroscopic features. All of the complexes investigated, apart from [R⋅H⋅3](+), showed similar IRMPD spectra, which points to similar structural and conformational landscapes. Their IRMPD spectra agree with the formation of several isomeric structures in the ESI source, wherein the N(3)-protonated guest establishes noncovalent interactions with the host amidocarbonyl groups that are either oriented inside the host cavity or outside it between one of the bridged side-chains and the upper aromatic nucleus. The IRMPD spectrum of the [R⋅H⋅3](+) complex was clearly different from the others. This difference is attributed to the effect of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions between the C(2')-OH group and the aglycone oxygen atom of the nucleosidic guest upon repulsive interactions between the same oxygen atom and the aromatic rings of the host.

Abstract
Chirality has been of great interest in pharmaceutical and biological sciences. The capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS) for rapid analysis of complex mixtures have encouraged its exploration for gas-phase chiral differentiation. Although particular instances of successful discrimination between enantiomers have been reported over the past three decades, a general method of quantitative chiral analysis by MS has only been demonstrated recently. This review describes the current state of the chiral MS methods without chiral chromatographic separation, which fall into five main categories: (1) the kinetic method, (2) host-guest (H-G) diastereomeric adduct formation, (3) ion/molecule (equilibrium) reactions, (4) collision-induced dissociation (CID) of diastereomeric adducts, and (5) the emerging technique for gas-phase separation using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). It emphasizes tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which provides several unique analytical advantages for quantitative chiral analysis. These include intrinsically high sensitivity, molecular specificity, and tolerance to impurities as well as the simplicity and speed of the mass spectrometric measurements. Practical prospects and current challenges in quantitative chiral MS techniques for QbD (quality-by-design)-based pharmaceutical applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Isomeric distinction of di- and tri-saccharides could be efficiently achieved by using data previously obtained while performing experiments aimed at discriminating monosaccharides using trimeric ion dissociation with data analysis by the kinetic method. This study shows that effects observed for lower homologues when one of the partners is changed in the metal/reference system (typically a transition metal divalent cation associated to amino acids) can be extrapolated to upper homologues, at least for the tested analyte series. Systems allowing galactose, glucose, and fructose distinction were used as starting conditions to resolve cellobiose, lactose, maltose, and saccharose disaccharides. When a unique dissociation reaction was observed from the trimeric clusters, a new reference was selected based on its propensity to favor the analyte or the reference release, as revealed from monosaccharide experiments, depending on the desired effect. The same approach could be implemented from data obtained for disaccharides to select efficient metal/reference systems to distinguish cellotriose, isomaltotriose, maltotriose, and panose trisaccharides. As a result, method optimization is greatly improved due to an enhanced rationalization of the search for discriminant systems. While 40 systems had to be tested for monosaccharides, by screening five transition metals and eight amino acids, the proposed approach allowed efficient metal/reference systems to be found for disaccharides after testing 18 combinations; then, only four systems had to be scrutinized to achieve trisaccharide distinction. Accurate quantitative analyses could be performed in binary mixtures using three-point calibration curves to correct for competition effects between analytes for the formation of the trimeric clusters.

Abstract
The reactivity of 10 charged phenyl radicals toward several amino acids was examined in the gas phase in a dual-cell Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. All radicals abstract a hydrogen atom from the amino acids, as expected. The most electrophilic radicals (with the greatest calculated vertical electron affinities (EA) at the radical site) also react with these amino acids via NH(2) abstraction (a nonradical nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction). Both the radical (hydrogen atom abstraction) and nonradical (NH(2) abstraction) reaction efficiencies were found to increase with the electrophilicity (EA) of the radical. However, NH(2) abstraction is more strongly influenced by EA. In contrast to an earlier report, the ionization energies of the amino acids do not appear to play a general reactivity-controlling role. Studies using several partially deuterium-labeled amino acids revealed that abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the α-carbon is only preferred for glycine; for the other amino acids, a hydrogen atom is preferentially abstracted from the side chain. The electrophilicity of the radicals does not appear to have a major influence on the site from which the hydrogen atom is abstracted. Hence, the regioselectivity of hydrogen atom abstraction appears to be independent of the structure of the radical but dependent on the structure of the amino acid. Surprisingly, abstraction of two hydrogen atoms was observed for the N-(3-nitro-5-dehydrophenyl)pyridinium radical, indicating that substituents on the radical not only influence the EA of the radical but also can be involved in the reaction. In disagreement with an earlier report, proline was found to display several unprecedented reaction pathways that likely do not proceed via a radical mechanism but rather by a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism. Both NH(2) and (15)NH(2) groups were abstracted from lysine labeled with (15)N on the side chain, indicating that NH(2) abstraction occurs both from the amino terminus and from the side chain. Quantum chemical calculations were employed to obtain insights into some of the reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Chiral discrimination of seven enantiomeric pairs of β-3-homo-amino acids was studied by using the kinetic method and trimeric metal-bound complexes, with natural and unnatural α-amino acids as chiral reference compounds and divalent metal ions (Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) ) as the center ions. The β-3-homo-amino acids were selected for this study because, first of all, chiral discrimination of β-amino acids has not been extensively studied by mass spectrometry. Moreover, these β-3-homo-amino acids studied have different aromatic side chains. Thus, the emphasis was to study the effect of the side chain (electron density of the phenyl ring, as well as the difference between phenyl and benzyl side chains) for the chiral discrimination. The results showed that by the proper choice of a metal ion and a chiral reference compound, all seven enantiomeric pairs of β-3-homo-amino acids could be differentiated. Moreover, it was noted that the β-3-homo-amino acids with benzyl side chains provided higher enantioselectivity than the corresponding phenyl ones. However, increasing or decreasing the electron density of the aromatic ring by different substituents in both the phenyl and benzyl side chains had practically no role for chiral discrimination of β-3-homo-amino acids studied. When copper was used as the central metal, the phenyl side chain containing reference molecules (S)-2-amino-2-phenylacetic acid (L-Phg) and (S)-2-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-acetic acid (L-4'-OHPhg) gave rise to an additional copper-reduced dimeric fragment ion, [Cu(I) (ref)(A)](+) . The inclusion of this ion improved noticeably the enantioselectivity values obtained.

Abstract
Differentiation of beta-amino acid enantiomers with two chiral centres was investigated by kinetic method with trimeric metal-bound complexes. Four enantiomeric pairs of beta-amino acids were studied: cis-(1R,2S)-, cis-(1S,2R)-, trans-(1R,2R)- and trans-(1S,2S)-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acids (cyclopentane beta-amino acids), and cis-(1R,2S)-, cis-(1S,2R)-, trans-(1R,2R)-, and trans-(1S,2S)-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acids (cyclohexane beta-amino acids). The results showed that the choice of metal ion (Cu(2+), Ni(2+)) and chiral reference compound (alpha- and beta-amino acids) had an effect on the enantioselectivity. Especially, aromaticity of the reference compound was noted to enhance the enantioselectivity. The fixed-ligand kinetic method, a modification of the kinetic method, was then applied to the same beta-amino acids, with dipeptides used as fixed ligands. With this method, dipeptide containing an aromatic side chain enhanced the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Detection of a D-amino acid residue in natural peptides by mass spectrometry remains a challenging task, as this post-translational modification does not induce any change in molecular mass. To our knowledge, the present article is the first report using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) for the discrimination and the quantification of peptide isomers. In this work, we used synthetic hepta- and decapeptides of biological relevance and their isomers. All-L sequences and some isomers containing a D-residue in various positions were analyzed.

The experiments were conducted by using electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The effect of a chiral host molecule was tested by using three different host compounds; (+)-(18-Crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid, (-)-(18-Crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid, and beta-cyclodextrin.

Many metal-coordinated complex ions were formed for cobalt and nickel: [2M+Met](2+), [3M+Met](2+), [M-H+Met](+), [2M-H+Met](+), [M+MetX](+), [2M+MetX](+) and [3M-H+Co](+), where M is the diol, Met is the metal used and X is the counter ion (acetate, chloride, nitrate). Copper showed the weakest formation of metal complexes with di-exo-2,3-disubstituted trinorbornanediol yielding only the minor singly charged ions [M-H+Cu](+), [2M-H+Cu](+) and [2M+CuX](+). No clear differences were noted for cobalt complex formation, especially for cis-2,3-disubstituted isomers. However, 2,5-disubstituted trinorbornanediols showed moderate diastereomeric differentiation because of the unidentate nature of the sterically more hindered exo-isomer. trans-Isomers gave rise to abundant [3M-H+Co](+) ion products, which may be considered a characteristic ion for bicyclo[221]heptane trans-2,3- and trans-2,5-diols. To differentiate cis-2,3-isomers, the collision-induced dissociation (CID) products for [3M+Co](2+), [M+CoOAc](+), [2M-H+Co](+) and [2M+CoOAc](+) cobalt complexes were investigated. The results of the CID of the monomeric and dimeric metal adduct complexes [M+CoOAc](+) and [2M-H+Co](+) were stereochemically controlled and could be used for stereochemical differentiation of the compounds investigated. In addition, the structures and relative energies of some complex ions were studied using hybrid density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Electrospray ionization generates trimeric diastereoisomeric clusters as the first important step in chiral analysis by mass spectrometry using the Cooks′ kinetic method. Cu2+ and L-tryptophan were used as a central metal and as a chiral reference ligand, respectively. The comparison of electrospray and nanoelectrospray showed that although the electrospray system was generally more robust, the application of nanoelectrospray was essential for performing successful analysis in some cases, especially for real samples. Basically, no significant differences between the ion sources were observed for model samples of analytes (isoleucine, ephedrine, phenylalanine) without interfering matrix. On the other hand, model samples containing sodium chloride and a buffer containing a real sample (drug formulation Mucoseptonex E in which D-ephedrine is the active substance) could not be analyzed using ESI, whereas nano-ESI gave satisfactory results. An explanation is based on the differences of ionization processes occurring in the compared sources.

Abstract
The structure, stability, and CID pattern of proton-bound homochiral and heterochiral complexes, formed in the gas phase by the combination of two molecules of a chiral macrocyclic tetra-amide and an amine B, i.e. CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, or (S)-(–)-1-phenylethylamine, have been examined by ESI-ITMS-CID mass spectrometry. With B = CH3NH2, the CID pattern is characterized by the predominant loss of B, accompanied by a much less extensive release of one tetra-amide molecule. With (S)-(–)-1-phenylethylamine, loss of a tetra-amide molecule efficiently competes with loss of B. Finally, with (CH3)2NH, loss of a tetra-amide molecule predominates over loss of B. No appreciable isotope and chiral guest configuration effects have been detected in the fragmentation of the homochiral complexes. A distinct configurational effect has been appreciated in the CID of the homo- and the heterochiral complexes with all amines used. The results of this study have been discussed in the light of semi-empirical computational evidence. The differences in the CID patterns of the homo- and the heterochiral complexes have been rationalized in terms of structural factors and of the basicity of amine B.

Abstract
The unimolecular chemistry of [Cu(II)AA(AA - H)](+) complexes, composed of an intact and a deprotonated amino acid (AA) ligand, have been probed in the gas phase by tandem and multistage mass spectrometry in an electrospray ionization quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. The amino acids examined include Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, t-Leu and Phe. Upon collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD), the [Cu(II)AA(AA - H)](+) complexes undergo decarboxylation with simultaneous reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I); during this process, a radical site is created at the alpha-carbon of the decarboxylated ligand (H(2)N(1) - (*)C(alpha)H - C(beta)H(2) - R; R = side chain substituent). The radical site is able to move along the backbone of the decarboxylated amino acid to form two new radicals (HN(1)(*) - C(alpha)H(2) - C(beta)H(2) - R and H(2)N(1) - C(alpha)H(2) - (*)C(beta)H - R). From the complexes of Gly and t-Leu, only C(alpha) and N(1) radicals can be formed. The whole radical ligand can be lost to form [Cu(I)AA](+) from these three isomeric radicals. Alternatively, further radical induced dissociations can take place along the backbone of the decarboxylated amino acid ligand to yield [Cu(II)AA(AA - 2H - CO(2))](+), [Cu(I)AA((*)NH(2))](+), [Cu(I)AA(HN = C(alpha)H(2))](+), or [Cu(I)AA(H(2)N - C(alpha)H = C(beta)H - R'](+) (R' = partial side chain substituent). The sodiated copper complexes, [Cu(II)(AA - H + Na)(AA - H)](+), show the same fragmentation patterns as their non-sodiated counterparts; sodium ion is retained on the intact amino acid ligand and is not involved in the CAD pathways. The amino groups of both AA units, the carbonyl group of the intact amino acid, and the deprotonated hydroxyl oxygen coordinate Cu(II) in square-planar fashion. Ab initio calculations indicate that the metal ion facilitates hydrogen atom shuttling between the N(1), C(alpha) and C(beta) atoms of the decarboxylated amino acid ligand. The dissociations of the decarboxylated radical ions unveil important insight about the so far largely unknown intrinsic chemistry of alpha-amino acid and peptide radicals, which are implicated as intermediates in numerous pathogenic biological processes.

Abstract
Stereochemical differentiation of five diastereomeric pairs of beta-amino acids, di-endo- and di-exo-2,3-disubstituted norbornane and norbornene amino acids, cis- and trans-2-aminocyclohexane-, 2-amino-4-cyclohexene-, and 2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acids, was investigated via the kinetic method with metal-bound trimeric complexes. This is the first time that diastereomers (di-endo/di-exo and cis/trans) have been differentiated with metal-bound trimeric complexes and the kinetic method. Moreover, determination of diastereochemical excess by the kinetic method was applied to norbornane beta-amino acids and cyclopentane beta-amino acids. Experiments showed that a remarkable differentiation of the studied diastereomers was achieved. It was observed that better selectivity values correlated to more rigid structures. The reference compounds for the studied beta-amino acids varied from alpha-amino acids to some beta-amino acids. In addition, variation of the metal ion (Cu(2+) and Ni(2+)) had some role in the selectivity values obtained. Ab initio and hybrid density functional theory calculations were performed to clarify the results obtained by mass spectrometry.

Abstract
A rapid method for quantitative chiral analysis of phthaloylglutamic acid and its dimethyl ester by Cook's kinetic method is demonstrated using electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption techniques. Transition-metal-bound complex ions containing the chiral phthaloylglutamic acid and its dimethyl ester are generated by ESI mass spectrometry and subjected to collision-induced dissociation. The ratio of the two competitive dissociation rates is related to the enantiomeric composition of the drug mixture. A seven-point calibration curve, derived from the kinetic method, allowed rapid quantitation of the enantiomeric excess of drug mixtures. In this paper, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) coupled with the linear ion trap (LIT) technique is evaluated for its applicability as a complementary technique to ESI for chiral discrimination and quantitation.

Abstract
A home-made nano-desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI) device and the kinetic method were tested in chiral analysis of model clinical samples containing enantiomers of one of three pharmaceutically important compounds: dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), ephedrine and ibuprofen. The initial evaluation of chiral systems was carried out by direct infusion of solution mixtures (analyte/central metal/chiral reference ligand) to a standard electrospray ionization (ESI) source. Cu(II) was used as a central metal for all analytes, L-phenylalanine was applied as a chiral reference ligand for DOPA, whereas L-tryptophan was used for the other two analytes. Then, the ESI source was substituted by a nano-DESI source and dried spots of 1 microL samples of whole human blood spiked with individual drugs were successfully analyzed without any pre-treatment. Irrespective of a laborious initial nano-DESI set-up, the combination of the kinetic method with nano-desorption electrospray has, for the first time, been demonstrated as a promising tool for chiral analysis of drugs in blood samples.

Abstract
Stereochemical differentiation of diasteromeric pairs of cis- and trans-2-aminocyclohexane-, -2-amino-4-cyclohexene-, and -2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acids was investigated with host-guest complexes where tetraethyl resorcarene was the host molecule. Diastereoselectivity was evaluated by ion/molecule reactions and collision-induced dissociation with electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICRMS). The effect of varying the neutral reagent (n-propylamine, i-propylamine, diethylamine, and triethylamine) in ion/molecule reactions was evaluated. Both steric interactions and proton affinity of the neutral reagents influenced the reaction rates. High proton affinity of the neutral reagent apparently had a twofold effect. If the proton affinity of the neutral reagent was too high, the reaction tended to become too exothermic and part of the host-guest complex decomposed instead of transforming to a new host-guest complex, effecting a decrease in the reaction rate. The remaining portion of the host-guest complexes meanwhile reacted very fast with the neutral reagent due to high proton affinity causing an increase in the reaction rate. n-Propylamine and i-propylamine proved to be the best neutral reagents, providing clear diastereoselectivity for beta-amino acids in ion/molecule reactions. Interestingly, diastereoselectivity was better for flexible cyclohexane beta-amino acids (2 and 3) than for more rigid cyclopentane beta-amino acids (6 and 7). The results of ab initio and hybrid density functional theory calculations on the structures of the host-guest complexes of saturated beta-amino acids were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
Enantiomeric excess (ee) was originally defined as a term to describe enantiomeric composition and was equated with optical purity. More recently, ee and its cousin de (diastereomeric excess) have been used (inappropriately) to quantitate stereoselectivity. The quantity ee has been used in equations describing processes such as kinetic resolutions, but these equations are unnecessarily complex because it is enantiomer ratio, not enantiomeric excess, that directly reflects relative rates. A historical summary of the development of ee as an expression of enantiomer composition and enantioselectivity is presented, along with new equations and figures defining and illustrating the stereoselectivity factor, s, kinetic resolutions versus % conversion, and linear correlations of enantiomer composition of catalysts and products. New figures illustrating nonlinear effects versus enaniomer composition are presented, and Kagan's index of amplification for positive nonlinear effects is discussed and illustrated. A case is made for the discontinuance of ee and de as descriptors of stereoisomer composition and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
We have measured the relative calcium-binding energies of amino acids using tandem mass spectrometry of Ca(2+)-bound trimeric amino acids. Although calcium-bound dimeric amino acid complexes coordinated too strongly to allow observation of the two competing dissociation products (calcium-bound monomeric ions) required for analysis of their metal binding affinities using the conventional kinetic method, the Ca(2+)-bound trimeric cluster ions dissociated readily to form dimeric cluster ions through simple ligand losses. The calcium-binding energies were obtained by comparing the ratio of the [Ca(2+)(A(1))(2) - H(+)](+) and [Ca(2+) (A(1))(A(2)) - H(+)](+) ions that dissociated from the [Ca(2+) (A(1))(2)(A(2)) - H(+)](+) ion and the ratio of the [Ca(2+)(A(2))(2) - H(+)](+) and [Ca(2+)(A(1)) (A(2)) - H(+)](+) ions that dissociated from the [Ca(2+)(A(1))(A(2))(2) - H(+)](+) ion, where A(1) and A(2) represent two amino acids. The energies deduced from this analysis represent the relative average binding energies of complexes having the form [Ca(2+)(A(1))(2) - H(+)](+). The relative Ca(2+)-binding strengths of the alpha-amino acid complexes follow the order Cys < Ser < Thr < Ile < Leu < Val < Gly < Ala < Pro < Phe < Met < Tyr < Asn < His < Gln < Trp < Lys < Arg. To our knowledge, this report provides the first example of using kinetic methods to determine the relative binding strengths of divalent metal-amino acid complexes.

Abstract
A series of crown ethers, 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, and dibenzo-30-crown-10, are examined as a possible means of shifting the mobilities of peptide ions. In this approach, a crown ether is added to a solution containing a mixture of peptides and is electrosprayed into the gas phase in order to create distributions of peptide-crown complexes. The ion complexes have different mobilities than the naked peptide ions, and the crown ether molecules appear to interact specifically with basic sites in the peptides thus providing some sequence selectivity. After the peptide-crown complexes are separated by ion mobility spectrometry, the ions can be collisionally activated to dissociate the complex (forming the naked peptide ions) prior to m/z analysis. The overall effect is that complex formation shifts peptide ions to different regions of the mobility spectrum, extending the ability to resolve components. The approach is illustrated by examining isobaric dipeptides as well as a combinatorial library containing 27 tripeptides. Cross sections for the series of crown ether ions and complexes that are observed are reported.

Abstract
Chiral analysis is an important task of analytical chemistry. Besides separation techniques, mass spectrometry can be applied in this field. One mass spectrometric approach is based on Cooks' kinetic method. The method was successfully applied in a static system in which the concentration of the analyte as well as the chiral selector solution was constant during the experiment. The application of the kinetic method in dynamic systems (changing concentration of analyte) is presented. Such systems allow the speeding up of the analytical process (flow injection analysis (FIA)) or the use of the kinetic method for chiral detection after liquid chromatographic separation. The influence of the concentration of the components of the chiral selector solution as well as its flow rate on the recognition of enantiomers was evaluated. A new procedure for correction for the differences between ratio of enantiomers in the liquid phase and their observed ratio in the gas phase is also described. A significant improvement in accuracy using this procedure was achieved. Applicability of the method was demonstrated in the analysis of amino acids using FIA as well as HPLC/MS. After an achiral separation of leucine and isoleucine, chiral mass spectrometric detection was successfully used for enantiomeric recognition.
