Mass spectrometry is applied physics • Magnetism • Newtons laws of motion • Basic tennants are dealing with charged molecules • Two laws: • Lorenz force law: • If a particle of charge q moves with velocity v in the presence of an electric field E and a magnetic field B, then it will experience a force (F) • Newtons second law (non-relatavistic motion): • F=ma • The terms F can be related and the equation derived: • (m/q)a= E + v x B
Basic equations governing mass spectrometry Ion’s kinetic E function of accelerating voltage (V) and charge (z). Centrifugal force Applied magnetic field balance as ion goes through flight tube Combine equations to obtain: Fundamental equation of mass spectrometry Change ‘mass-to-charge’ (m/z) ratio by changing V or changing B. NOTE: if B, V, z constant, then: Cobb lab
What is the take home point? • We can control our voltages • We know our distances • We know our field strengths • Thus: • A simple set of equations can be used to calculate the m/z for all different types of mass spectrometers

Mass analyzers • Mass analyzers separate ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) • Operate under high vacuum (keeps ions from bumping into gas molecules) • Actually measure mass-to-charge ratio of ions (m/z) • Key specifications are resolution, mass measurement accuracy, and sensitivity. • Several kinds exist: for bioanalysis, quadrupole,time-of-flight and ion traps are most used. Modified from Agard lab
Quadrupole Mass Analyzer Uses a combination of RF and DC voltages to operate as a mass filter. • Has four parallel metal rods. • Lets one mass pass through at a time. • Can scan through all masses or sit at one fixed mass. Modified from Agard lab

Atomic Mass Units • Despite being called a Dalton after John Dalton in 1803 who suggested 1H, the discovery of naturally occurring isotopes in 1912 eventually lead to one AMU or Dalton (Da) as being based upon using carbon 12, 12C, as a reference • One Dalton is defined as 1/12 the mass of a single carbon-12 atom • Thus, one 12C atom has a mass of 12.0000 Da.

Mass spectrum of insulin 2 x 13C 13C 12C: 5730.61 Insulin has 257 C-atoms. Above this mass, the monoisotopic peak is too small to be very useful, and the average mass is usually used. Modified from Agard lab
Monoisotopic mass When the isotopes are clearly resolved the monoisotopic mass is used as it is the most accurate measurement. Modified from Agard lab
Average mass Average mass corresponds to the centroid of the unresolved peak cluster When the isotopes are not resolved, the centroid of the envelope corresponds to the weighted average of all the the isotope peaks in the cluster, which is the same as the average or chemical mass. Modified from Agard lab
What if the resolution is not so good? At lower resolution, the mass measured is the average mass. Better resolution Poorer resolution 6130 6140 6150 6160 6170 Mass Modified from Agard lab

How is resolution calculated? • Resolution is the ratio of the mass divided by full width at half maximum. Also known as resolving power • R = m/Δmwhere • Δm= peak width (FWHM definition) • Δm= mass difference between two • peaks (valley definition) • What mass resolution is required to separate m/z 88 and 89? m/Δm = 88/1 = 88 Modified from Agard lab / ME 330.804
