Abstract: | Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of deprotonated and protonated oligonucleotides ranging from 5 to 40 residues has been performed in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer at normal operating pressure and temperature. Only moderate exposure times and laser powers were required to achieve efficient dissociation. In general, IRMPD and collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) produce comparable sequencing information, indicating that IRMPD is a viable alternative to CAD for oligonucleotide analysis in the quadrupole ion trap. Two major characteristics distinguish CAD and IRMPD spectra for a given parent ion. First, structurally uninformative M-B ions that dominate CAD spectra are generally only low-intensity species in IRMPD spectra because nonresonant activation causes these species to dissociate to backbone cleavage products. Second, phosphate and nucleobase ions can be observed directly in IRMPD experiments because the low-mass cutoff can be set to trap small fragment ions. For this reason IRMPD can sometimes facilitate analysis of sequences containing modified bases. |
