Why Metal Ion – Ligand – Oligonucleotides? • In vivo processes with DNAare mediated by interactions with metal ions, small molecules and proteins. • The mechanisms of action of many anti-tumor drugs include the formation of their adducts with strandsofDNA only in the presence of metal ions. • ESI-MS has been successfully utilized in the study of interactionsbetween DNAand Pt complexes important in chemotherapy (Beck et al. Mass Spec. Rev., 2001, 20, 61). • Systematic ESI-MS studies of metal ion - ligand - DNA interactions remain insufficient.

Experimental • Instruments: MDS SCIEX API 2000 and Q Trap 2000. • Duplexes of the hexamers were prepared by heating 70 M ss in 70 mM aqueous NH4CH3COO to 900C for 10 min, neutral pH, and then cooled down slowly over a 3-hour period. • 20 M solution prepared in 20:80 (vol/vol) methanol/water was injected into the ESI sources of the mass spectrometers. • Ratios metal cation to ligand to ss were 5:varied:1, [ss]0 = 20 M. • Flow rate: 5 L/min; N2 as the collision gas; collision voltages : -1 to -100 V in the negative mode.

Conclusions • ESI/CID provides insight into Metal ion - Ligand - DNA interactions: the stoichiometry and mode of binding, the dissociation pathway and relative gas phase stabilities. Future Plans • Systematic ESI/CID studies of Metal ion - Drug - DNA interactions are needed to establish general trends in the gas-phase stability, dissociation mechanisms. • Investigation of the intrinsic reactivity of metallated biological ions toward gaseous carcinogens and other harmful compounds using the Q-trap 2000 and ESI SIFT QqQ instruments. • Solution and gas-phase experiments with double-stranded sequences containing a mismatching base pair and various intercalating species.
