Effective Temperature and Structural Rearrangement in Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry

Abstract: Modern ion mobility instrumentation is typically operated above the low field limit, which may activate the ions and cause structural rearrangement or fragmentation during analysis. Here, we quantitatively assessed the internal heating experienced by ions during trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) experiments. To this end, the fragmentation yields of fragile benzylpyridinium “thermometer” ions were monitored during both the accumulation and analysis steps inside the TIMS tunnel. The corresponding fragment… Show more

“…In addition, TIMS experiments as a function of the trapping time (100–500 ms) did not evidence any unfolding events for the [M + 6H] 6+ ions of ubiquitin but only a small narrowing of the IMS band (Figure S4c and Table S3). This means that the effective temperature in the TIMS analyzer is not high enough to induce unfolding which deviates from the observations previously reported for the case of proteins and are more in adequation with the observations reported by Bleiholder et al…”

The analysis of native concanavalin A (ConA), a homotetramer of 103 kDa, resulted in the observation of the native IMS and MS profiles consisting of a single IMS band per charge state over the [M + 17H] 17+ −[M + 21H] 21+ range (Figure 3a).…”

“…Collision-induced unfolding as a technique is still relatively new; however, early examples show it may provide insight, for example, in the study of protein–ligand binding ( 54 ). Unintentional ion heating can occur while injecting ions into, or while holding ions in, the TIMS analyzer ( 55 , 56 , 57 ). During injection, the DC field in the entrance funnel is of principle concern.…”

“…41 This raises concern when performing nMS experiments, in which maintaining the native-like structure and avoiding unintentional activation is of critical importance. 21,43,44 It has since been clarified that that ion heating likely occurs due to non-intrinsic properties of TIMS (space charge effects and RF power absorption) and that careful tuning prevents structural rearrangement, therefore making TIMS a suitable technology for nMS. 44 For the experiments performed in this manuscript, the amplitude of the RF-confining voltage in the TIMS funnel was set as low as possible, while still trapping a sufficient amount of ions, and trapping times in the TIMS analyzer were kept low to limit structural perturbation.…”
