pubmed:abstractText |
A rare example of ion/ion reaction between species of like polarity was shown to take place during the transfer of metal cations from nucleic acid substrates to chelating agents in the gas phase. Gaseous anionic reactants were generated from separate solutions of analyte and chelator by using a dual nanospray setup. The respective multiply charged ions shared the same path and were allowed to react for a predetermined interval in an rf-only hexapole before high-resolution analysis by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry. Efficient transfer of sodium and magnesium ions was readily observed with significant reduction of the nonspecific adducts that are typically associated with decreased sensitivity and resolution in the analysis of nucleic acid samples. Metal cations were abstracted from the initial analyte without being replaced by protons, in a process that was clearly dependent on the concentration of chelator in the auxiliary emitter and on the time spent by the reactants in the hexapole element. A survey of the properties of selected anionic chelators showed that their known affinity for a target cation in solution was more critical than their maximum anionic charge in determining the outcome of the transfer process. The analysis of selected assemblies requiring divalent cations to preserve their structural integrity and functional properties demonstrated that ion/ion reactions were clearly capable of discriminating between nonspecific interactions and specific coordination based on transfer susceptibility. These examples demonstrated that the ability to selectively eliminate nonspecific adducts in the gas phase, after the desolvation process is complete, offers a unique opportunity for studying specific metal binding in biological systems without resorting to separation procedures that may adversely affect the position of binding equilibria in solution and disrupt the assemblies under investigation.
