By measuring the isotopic exchange of backbone amide hydrogens in solution, HDX-MS offers valuable structural insights into challenging biological systems. Traditional HDX-MS approaches utilize bottom–up (BU) proteomics, in which deuterated proteins are digested before MS analysis. BU-HDX enables the characterization of proteins with various sizes in simple protein mixtures or complex biological samples such as cell lysates. However, BU methods are inherently limited by the inability to resolve protein sub-populations arising from different protein conformations, such as those arising from post-translational modifications (PTMs). Alternatively, top–down (TD) HDX-MS detects the global deuterium uptake at the intact proteoform level, allowing direct probing of structural changes due to protein–protein interactions, PTMs, or conformational changes. Combining TD-HDX-MS with electron-based fragmentation techniques, such as electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD), has demonstrated the feasibility of studying intact protein interactions with amino acid-level resolution. Here, we present a brief overview of methodologies, limitations, and applications of TD-HDX-MS using direct infusion techniques and LC-based approaches. Furthermore, we conclude with a perspective on the future directions for TD-HDX-MS.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mass Spectrometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nESI-MS) has been utilized to examine the stabilization of bound anions on multiprotein complexes without bulk solvent. However, the effects of anions on metal ion binding interactions with amyloid beta peptide have not been explored. This study directly examined metal-peptide complexes using nESI-MS and investigated the effects of various anions on the binding ratio and stability of these complexes from ammonium salt solutions. The results indicate that different anions have distinct effects on the binding ratio and stability of various metal-peptide complexes. Of these, the bicarbonate ion exhibits the highest binding ratios for metal-peptide complexes, while binding ratios for these complexes in phosphate are comparatively low. Our results suggest that acetate, formate, bicarbonate, and phosphate have weak affinities and act as weak stabilizers of the metal-peptide complex structure in the gas phase. Intriguingly, chloride and sulfate act as stabilizers of the metal-peptide complex in the gas phase. The rank order determined from these data is substantially different from the Hofmeister salt series in solution. Although this outcome was anticipated due to the reduced influence of anions and water solvation, our findings correlate well with expected anion binding in solution and emphasize the importance of both hydration layer and anion-metal-peptide binding effects for Hofmeister-type stabilization in solution.

A wide range of liquid chromatography (LC; HPLC/UHPLC)-based methods is available for measuring the quantity of amino acids in plants. Additionally, the coupling of LC with mass spectrometry (MS) significantly enhanced the robustness of existing chromatographic methods used for amino acid quantification. However, accurate annotation and integration of mass peaks can be challenging for plant biologists with limited experience in analyzing MS data, especially in studies involving large datasets with multiple treatments and/or replicates. Further, there are instances when the experiment demands an overall view of the amino acids profile rather than focusing on absolute quantification. The present protocol provides a detailed LC–MS method for obtaining a qualitative amino acids profile using MS-DIAL, a versatile and user-friendly program for processing MS data.

Extracted amino acids were derivatized and separated using UHPLC-QTOF, with each amino acid subsequently identified by aligning mass data with a custom text library created in MS-DIAL. Further, MS-DIAL was employed for internal standard-based normalization to obtain a qualitative profile of 15 amino acids in control and virus-infected plants.

However, APCI (along with other atmospheric pressure sources) is often impacted by in-source oxidation, leading to a variety of ionic products. Identifying these products and understanding their mechanisms of formation is crucial for characterizing complex mixtures with substantial hydrocarbon content, such as those found in the petrochemical industry. In this study, in-source oxidation of LSHs was observed in gas chromatography (GC) coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) via a custom-built APCI interface. Studies showed that the abundance of these oxidized ions correlated positively with atmospheric water, yet occurred without the inclusion of water-based oxygen as judged by experiments with stable isotope-labeled water. The oxidation of LSHs was further influenced by the reactive species in the ionization atmosphere. Fragmentation data using stable isotope-labeled LSH standards unveiled multiple structurally unique ions with one or more oxidation sites on both primary and secondary carbons. These ionic products bear resemblance to combustion byproducts, suggesting the instrumental configuration fosters plasma-assisted combustion-like processes that encourage the radical-mediated oxidation of LSHs rather than generate [M − H]<sup>+</sup>. Through these investigative efforts, a mechanism analogous to combustion was proposed for the formation of LSH oxidation products in GC-APCI-HRMS.
