Manual MS/MS spectra interpretation Practical course 18.03.2014
Overview of fragmentation modes • CID: collision induced dissociation • HCD: higher energy collision induced dissociation • ETD: electron transfer dissociation CID, ETD HCD
Typical scan cycle • Accumulation of 1e6 intact peptide ions in linear ion trap • Transfer of intact peptide ions into orbitrap and acquisition • Overfilling of linear ion trap and isolation of ~3e4 precursor ions in linear ion trap • Fragmentation of precursor ions and acquisition of fragment spectrum (MS/MS)
Characteristics of CID and HCD • CID • Peptides are fragmented in an ion trap • “low energy” fragmentation • Peptides undergo multiple collisions with inert gas molecules • Additional excitation (RF pulse) required • HCD • Peptides are fragmented in dedicated fragmentation cell (quadrupole, octopole) • “high energy” fragmentation • Peptides are accelerated and collide with inert gas molecules • Peptides fragment instantaneously
Characteristics of CID and HCD • CID • Works best for 2+/3+charge states • Efficient fragmentation • Sensitive detector (1 ion -> 1 detector count) • Produces predominantly b and y ions • Low mass cutoff • Low resolution/mass accuracy • Fragment charge state determination (>1+) impossible • HCD • Efficient fragmentation • Detector less sensitive (~5 ions required for orbi signal) • Produces mainly y ions, but also internal ions • No low mass cutoff • High resolution/mass accuracy • Fragment charge states
Peptide fragmentation • MS/MS spectra y-ions: C N B-ions: N C
y1 ions • If you have performed a trypsin digest then one of these ions should be present in the MS/MS fragmentation spectrum and this will reveal the C-terminal residue. • The N-terminal b1 ion is never observed (often the b1 ion can be found after acetylation of the peptide) 1xOH = 17,00274 1xH = 1,00783 1xH+ = 1,00728
