Abstract
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry is a useful tool in separation of biological isomers, including clinically relevant analytes such as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD3) and its epimer, 3-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (epi25OHD3). Previous research indicates that these epimers adopt different gas-phase sodiated monomer structures, either the "open" or "closed" conformer, which allow 25OHD3 to be readily resolved in mixtures. In the current work, alternative metal cation adducts are investigated for their relative effects on the ratio of "open" and "closed conformers. Alkali and alkaline earth metal adducts caused changes in the 25OHD3 conformer ratio, where the proportion of the "open" conformer generally increases with the size of the metal cation in a given group. As such, the ratio of the "open" conformer, which is unique to 25OHD3 and absent for its epimer, can be increased from approximately 1:1 for the sodiated monomer to greater than 8:1 for the barium adduct. Molecular modeling and energy calculations agree with the experimental results, indicating that the Gibbs free energy of conversion from the "closed" to the "open" conformation decreased with increasing cation size, correlating with the variation in ratio between the conformers. This work demonstrates the effect of cation adducts on gas-phase conformations of small, flexible molecules and offers an additional strategy for resolution of clinically relevant epimers.

Abstract
The intrinsic binding ability of 7 natural peptides (oxytocin, arg8 -vasopressin, bradykinin, angiotensin-I, substance-P, somatostatin, and neurotensin) with copper in 2 different oxidation states (CuI/II ) derived from different Cu+/2+ precursor sources have been investigated for their charge-dependent binding characteristics. The peptide-CuI/II complexes, [M - (n-1)H + nCuI ] and [M - (2n-1)H + nCuII ], are prepared/generated by the reaction of peptides with CuI solution/Cu-target and CuSO4 solution and are analyzed by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The MALDI mass spectra of both [M - (n-1)H + nCuI ] and [M - (2n-1)H + nCuII ] complexes show no mass shift due to the loss of ─H atoms in the main chain ─NH of these peptides by Cu+ and Cu2+ deprotonation. The measured m/z value indicates the reduction of CuI/II oxidation state into Cu0 during MALDI processes. The number and relative abundance of Cu+ bound to the peptides are greater compared with the Cu2+ bound peptides. Oxytocin, arg8 -vasopressin, bradykinin, substance-P, and somatostatin show the binding of 5Cu+ , and angiotensin-I and neurotensin show the binding of 7Cu+ from both CuI and Cu targets, while bradykinin shows the binding of 2Cu2+ , oxytocin, arg8 -vasopressin, angiotensin-I, and substance-P; somatostatin shows the binding of 3Cu2+ ; and neurotensin shows 4Cu2+ binding. The binding of more Cu+ with these small peptides signifies that the bonding characteristics of both Cu+ and Cu2+ are different. The amino acid residues responsible for the binding of both Cu+ and Cu2+ in these peptides have been identified based on the density functional theory computed binding energy values of Cu+ and the fragment transformation method predicted binding preference of Cu2+ for individual amino acids.

Abstract
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has recently seen increased use in the analysis of small molecules, especially in the field of metabolomics, for increased breadth of information and improved separation of isomers. In this study, steroid epimers androsterone and trans-androsterone were analyzed with IM-MS to investigate differences in their relative mobilities. Although sodiated monomers exhibited very similar collision cross-sections (CCS), baseline separation was observed for the sodiated dimer species (RS = 1.81), with measured CCS of 242.6 and 256.3 Å2, respectively. Theoretical modeling was performed to determine the most energetically stable structures of solution-phase and gas-phase monomer and dimer structures. It was revealed that these epimers differ in their preferred dimer binding mode in solution phase: androsterone adopts a R=O - Na+ - OH-R' configuration, whereas trans-androsterone adopts a R=O - Na+ - O=R' configuration. This difference contributes to a significant structural variation, and subsequent CCS calculations based on these structures relaxed in the gas phase were in agreement with experimentally measured values (ΔCCS ~ 5%). Additionally, these calculations accurately predicted the relative difference in mobility between the epimers. This study illustrates the power of combining experimental and theoretical results to better elucidate gas-phase structures. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Supermetallization is the recently observed phenomenon of the formation of complex ions of peptide-metal in the gas phase when the peptide accepts an unexpectedly large number of metal atoms. It has been found that supermetallization takes place during electrospray ionization when charged droplets are evaporating at relatively high temperature (ca 400°C). In the present paper, we demonstrate supermetallized complexes of small protein ubiquitin and two peptides with Th(IV). We have observed complexes of ubiquitin with up to five thorium atoms, and attaching each Th(IV) requires the removal of four hydrogen atoms. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of gas-phase complexes of peptides and proteins with tetravalent metal atoms..

Abstract
The formation of metal-peptide complexes during electrospray ionization (ESI) is a widely known phenomenon and is often considered to be undesirable. Such effect considerably limits the use of ESI mass spectrometry for the investigation of biologically relevant metal-peptide compounds that are present in the solution and play critical roles in many bioprocesses such as progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In the article, it is demonstrated that under specific conditions such as high temperature of the desolvating capillary, an interesting effect, which can be called as 'supermetallization', occurs. Using a model peptide Αβ amyloid domain 1-16, it was observed that an increase in the temperature of the desolvating capillary results in multiple substitutions of hydrogen atoms by Zn atoms in this peptide. At high temperatures (T ~ 400 °C), up to 11 zinc atoms can be covalently bound to (1-16) Αβ. It was observed that supermetallization of (1-16) Αβ depends on the solvent composition and pH. Supermetallization was also demonstrated for proteins, such as ubiquitin and cytochrome C. That proves that the supermetallization is a general phenomenon for peptides and proteins. For the structural investigation of supermetallized complexes, electron-capture dissociation (ECD) fragmentation was applied. The effect of hydrogen rearranging during ECD was observed. In addition, quantum chemical calculations were used to estimate the possible structures of different supermetallized complexes. These results allow a more deep understanding of the limitations of the use of ESI mass spectrometry for the investigation of biologically relevant metal-peptide complexes.

Abstract
Changes in protein ion conformation as a result of nonspecific adduction of metal ions to the protein during electrospray ionization (ESI) from aqueous solutions were investigated using traveling wave ion mobility spectrometry (TWIMS). For all proteins examined, protein cations (and in most cases anions) with nonspecific metal ion adducts are more compact than the fully protonated (or deprotonated) ions with the same charge state. Compaction of protein cations upon nonspecific metal ion binding is most significant for intermediate charge state ions, and there is a greater reduction in collisional cross section with increasing number of metal ion adducts and increasing ion valency, consistent with an electrostatic interaction between the ions and the protein. Protein cations with the greatest number of adducted metal ions are no more compact than the lowest protonated ions formed from aqueous solutions. These results show that smaller collisional cross sections for metal-attached protein ions are not a good indicator of a specific metal-protein interaction in solution because nonspecific metal ion adduction also results in smaller gaseous protein cation cross sections. In contrast, the collisional cross section of α-lactalbumin, which specifically binds one Ca(2+), is larger for the holo-form compared with the apo-form, in agreement with solution-phase measurements. Because compaction of protein cations occurs when metal ion adduction is nonspecific, elongation of a protein cation may be a more reliable indicator that a specific metal ion-protein interaction occurs in solution.

Abstract
Copper is one of the most interesting elements for various biomedical applications. Copper compounds show vast array of biological actions, including anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, biocidal and other. It also offers a selection of radioisotopes, suitable for nuclear imaging and radiotherapy. Quick progress in nanotechnology opened new possibilities for design of copper based drugs and medical materials. To date, copper has not found many uses in medicine, but number of ongoing research, as well as preclinical and clinical studies, will most likely lead to many novel applications of copper in the near future.

Abstract
Electron capture dissociation (ECD) is an analytical technique in mass spectrometry (MS) that allows detailed structural study of biomolecules to gain insight in their function. In this work the ECD behavior of two peptide hormones oxytocin (OT1) and vasopressin (VP1) was studied. The results of OT1 and VP1 were compared to structural analogues OT2 and VP2, which have similar amino acid sequences but lack the tocin ring. The ECD results showed that both the fragment type (c/z versus b/y) and the cleavage sites (ring versus tail) changed upon opening of the tocin ring. All four peptides were complexed with three different transition metal cations (Zn(2+), Ni(2+) and Cu(2+)) and the ECD results were compared to those obtained from the doubly protonated species. The use of various metal ions yielded different cleavages sites within the same peptide. This can be an effect of the metal ion itself, or a consequence of a change in conformation as was suggested earlier. In addition, the type of fragment ion varied for each metal-complexed peptide, which is in agreement with previous observations.

Abstract
Electron capture dissociation (ECD) of the peptide Substance P (SubP) complexed with divalent metals has been investigated. ECD of [SubP + H + M]3+ (M2+ = Mg2+ -Ba2+ and Mn2+ -Zn2+) allowed observation of a larger number of product ions than previous investigations of doubly charged metal-containing peptides. ECD of Mg-Ba, Mn, Fe, and Zn-containing complexes resulted in product ions with and without the metal from cleavage of backbone amine bonds (c' and z* -type ions). By contrast, ECD of Co and Ni-containing complexes yielded major bond cleavages within the C-terminal methionine residue (likely to be the metal ion binding site). Cu-containing complexes displayed yet another behavior: amide bond cleavage (b and y'-type ions). We believe some results can be rationalized both within the hot hydrogen atom mechanism and mechanisms involving electron capture into excited states, such as the recently proposed amide superbase mechanism. However, some behavior, including formation of (cn 'M - H)+ ions for Ca-Ba, is best explained within the latter mechanisms with initial electron capture at the metal. In addition, the ECD behavior appears to correlate with the metal second ionization energy (IE2). Co and Ni (displaying sequestered fragmentation) have IE2s of 17.1 and 18.2 eV, respectively, whereas IE2s for Mg-Ba, Mn, and Fe (yielding random cleavage) are 10.0 to 16.2 eV. This behavior is difficult to explain within the hot hydrogen atom mechanism because hydrogen transfer should not be influenced by IE2s. However, the drastically different fragmentation patterns for Co, Ni, and Cu compared to the other metals can also be explained by their higher propensity for nitrogen (as opposed to oxygen) binding. Nevertheless, these results imply that directed fragmentation can be accomplished via careful selection of the cationizing agent.

Abstract
A combination of split-field drift tube/mass spectrometry and isotopic labeling techniques is evaluated as a means of identifying single amino acid polymorphisms (SAAPs) in proteins. The method is demonstrated using cytochromec (equine and bovine) and hemoglobin (bovine and sheep). For these studies, proteins from different species are digested with trypsin, and the peptides are labeled at primary amine groups [using either a light (H(3))- or heavy (D(3))-isotopic reagent]. SAAP analysis is carried out by mixing the light-labeled peptides of one species with the heavy-labeled peptides of the other and electrospraying the resulting mixture into a split-field drift tube/mass spectrometer. Peptides having the same sequence in both species appear as doublets in the mass spectrum [shifted in mass-to-charge (m/z) according to the number of incorporated labels]; additionally, these species have identical mobility distributions. Peptides having sequences that differ by one amino acid appear as peaks in the mass spectrum that are shifted in m/z according to the mass difference associated with the SAAP and the number of incorporated labels. The ion mobility distributions for these peptides (differing by only a single amino acid) can often be rationalized by their expected similarities or differences providing additional evidence that they are related. In all, 12 and 26 peptide variants (between species) corresponding to 5 and 11 amino acid polymorphisms have been identified for the cytochrome c and hemoglobin protein samples, respectively.

Abstract
Conformers of equine cytochrome c were investigated in the gas phase using a combination of high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) and hydrogendeuterium (HD) exchange. Electrospray generated ions of equine cytochrome c were exposed to a low concentration of D2O vapour while being transported by a flow of nitrogen through a FAIMS device. During this transport period of about 250 ms in the FAIMS analyzer, the various conformers of multiply charged ions of cytochrome c were simultaneously undergoing HD exchange and being separated from each other. The extent of HD exchange was calculated from the observed m/z of conformers after exposure to D2O vapour in FAIMS. The complementary nature of these two methods resulted in observations supporting a greater number of conformers (e.g., at least 11 conformers were identified for the +16 charge state) than would be expected by analyzing the FAIMS data and the HD exchange data independently.Key words: FAIMS, HD exchange, mass spectrometry, protein conformations, electrospray ionization.

Abstract
Ion mobility measurements have been performed for protonated polyalanine peptides (A10 + H+, A15 + H+, A20 + H+, A25 + H+, and A15NH2 + H+) as a function of temperature using a new high-temperature drift tube. Peaks due to helices and globules were found at room temperature for all peptides, except for A10 + H+ (where only the globule is present). As the temperature is increased, the helix and globule peaks broaden and merge to give a single narrow peak. This indicates that the two conformations interconvert rapidly at elevated temperatures. The positions of the merged peaks show that A15 + H+ and A15NH2 + H+ spend most of their time as globules when heated, while A20 + H+ and A25 + H+ spend most of their time as helices. The helix/globule transitions are almost certainly accompanied by intramolecular proton transfer, and so, these results suggest that the proton becomes mobile (able to migrate freely along the backbone) at around 450 K. The peptides dissociate as the temperature is increased further to give predominantly the bn(+), b(n-1)(+), b(n-2)(+), ... series of fragment ions. There is a correlation between the ease of fragmentation and the time spent in the helical conformation for the An + H+ peptides. Helix formation promotes dissociation because it pools the proton at the C-terminus where it is required for dissociation to give the observed products. In addition to the helix and globule, an antiparallel helical dimer is observed for the larger peptides. The dimer can be collisionally dissociated by injection into the drift tube at elevated kinetic energies.

Abstract
Metal ions play significant roles in most biological systems. Over the past two decades, there has been significant interest in the redesign of existing metal binding sites in proteins/peptides and the introduction of metals into folded proteins/peptides. Recent research has focused on the effects of metal binding on the overall secondary and tertiary conformations of unstructured peptides/proteins. In this context, de novo design of metallopeptides has become a valuable approach for studying the consequence of metal binding. It has been seen that metal ions not only direct folding of partially folded peptides but have at times also been the elixir for properly folding random-coil-like structures in stable secondary conformations. Work in our group has focused on binding of heavy metal ions such as Hg(II) to de novo designed alpha-helical three stranded coiled coil peptides with sequences based on the heptad repeat motif. Removal from or addition of a heptad to the parent 30-residue TRI peptide with the amino acid sequence Ac-G(LKALEEK)(4)G-NH(2) generated peptides whose self-aggregation affinities were seen to be dependent on their lengths. It was noted that adjustment in the position of the thiol from an "a" position in the case of the shorter BabyL9C to a "d" position for BabyL12C resulted in a peptide with low association affinities for itself, weaker binding with Hg(II), and a considerably faster kinetic profile for metal insertion. Similar differences in thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were also noted for the longer TRI peptides. At the same time, metal insertion into the prefolded and longer TRI and Grand peptides has clearly demonstrated that the metal binding is both thermodynamically as well kinetically different from that to unassociated peptides.

Abstract
Divalent Mg(2+) ions often serve as cofactors in enzyme or ribozyme-catalyzed phosphoryl transfer reactions. In this work, the interaction of Mg(2+) ions and di-metal bridge complexes with phosphates, phosphoranes, and other biological ligands relevant to RNA catalysis are characterized with density functional methods. The effect of bulk solvent is treated with two continuum solvation methods (PCM and COSMO) for comparison. The relative binding affinity for different biological ligands to Mg(2+) are quantified in different protonation states. The structure and stability of the single-metal and di-metal complexes are characterized, and the changes in phosphate and phosphorane geometry induced by metal ion binding are discussed. Di-metal bridge complexes are a ubiquitous motif and the key factors governing their electrostatic stabilization are outlined. The results presented here provide quantitative characterization of metal ion binding to ligands of importance to RNA catalysis, and lay the groundwork for design of new generation quantum models that can be applied to the full biological enzymatic systems.

Abstract
Gas-phase complexes of triply charged metal ions with peptides may be readily produced using electrospray ionization, including for small peptides such as bradykinin and peptides with no basic residues such as insulin chain A. Attachment without charge-reduction is demonstrated for all trications studied: La(3+), Al(3+), Ga(3+), Fe(3+), V(3+), and Cr(3+). The intensities of adducts are often comparable to, or even exceed, those of protonated analogs in any charge state.

Abstract
Ion mobility studies and density functional theory calculations were used to study the structures of [Zn/diethylenetriamine/Hexose/Cl]+ complexes in an effort to probe differences in the three-dimensional conformations. This information allows us to gain insight into the structure of these complexes before collisional activation, which is the first step in understanding the stereoselective dissociations observed under collisionally activated conditions. The collision cross sections obtained from the ion mobility measurements showed that the mannose structure is more compact than the galactose and glucose complexes, respectively. Using density functional theory, candidate structures for each of the experimentally observed complexes were generated. Two criteria were used to determine the most likely structures of these complexes before activation: (1) The allowed relative energies of the molecules (between 0-90 kJ/mol) and (2) collision cross section agreement (within 2%) between the theoretically determined structures and the experimentally determined cross section. It was found that the identity of the monosaccharide made a difference in the overall conformation of the metal-ligand-monosaccharide complex. For glucose and galactose, metal coordination to O(6) was found to be favorable, with the monosaccharide occupying the 4C1 chair conformation, while for mannose, O(2) metal coordination was found with the monosaccharide in a B3,0 conformation. Coordination numbers varied between four and six for the Zn(II) metal centers. Given these results, it appears that the stereochemistry of the monosaccharide influences the conformation and metal coordination sites of the Zn(II)/monosaccharide/dien complex. These differences may influence the dissociation products observed under collisionally activated conditions.

Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has recently been established as a powerful tool to separate the protease digest mixtures and identify their peptide components. As accurate calculation of mobilities is critical for this technique, a new rapid method based on intrinsic size parameters (ISPs) of amino acid residues has been devised. However, those parameters had to be obtained by tedious statistical analysis of a large body of experimental data. Here we demonstrate that they can instead be derived a priori, based on the stoichiometry of a residue. Our main finding is that the ISP of a residue is essentially determined by its density, that is, the average mass/size ratio of its constituent atoms. This is in accordance with an interpretation in which peptides assume compact conformations in the gas phase dominated by the solvation of ionic charge.

Abstract
The separation of opiates and the primary metabolites was evaluated with ESI-IMS/MS. Seven opiate molecules were analyzed, and spectra were shown for each compound. The IMS separation of two isomers (morphine and norcodeine) was shown with baseline separation. Differences in the mobilities were found for the nonacetylated, monoacetylated, and biacetylated compounds. In this study, two primary findings are reported. First, IMS can easily separate metabolic isomers, and second, the two-dimensional separation capability of IMS/MS can be employed to confidently identify and separate both the opiates and metabolites. Although previous IMS studies have shown the separation of isomers, this is the first example to show the capability of IMS to separate metabolic isomers (within 70 s), a significant advantage in high-throughput screening for pharmacokinetic studies. Second, the monoacetylated and biacetylated compounds were found to form more compact ions for the sodium adducts in comparison to the protonated molecular ions. On the basis of the mobilities, information on structures and conformation can be deduced when sodium and protonated ions are compared.

Abstract
Recent progress in the rational design of metal sites within peptide model systems shows increasing control in the placement of metals within helical bundles and inclusion of sophisticated elements such as second-sphere ligand interactions. A crystallographically characterized two-metal peptide model for diiron proteins represents a major achievement in de novo design methodologies. Increasingly complex and robust models for electron transfer through and between helices, and electrode-supported electron-transfer peptides, have been constructed. Design elements for peptide-supported ferredoxins and mononuclear Fe(II) and Zn(II) sites have been refined.
