FAB and tandem mass spectrometry for endorphin- and ACTH peptides of molecular weight to 2000

This survey covers the mass spectrometic properties of organosulfur compounds containing the sulfide, disulfide, and sulfone functional groups. Attention is paid to the uni‐ and biomolecular chemistry of both positive and negative ions, as well as to the reactions of ions, with sulfur containing species, in the gas phase. The role of other functional groups on the decomposition of organic S, SO, SO2 containing gaseous ions is also discussed. The selection of sulfur containing compounds includes many naturally occurring and pharmaceutically significant products, that will be presented in the following order: alkaloids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, steroids, and metabolites. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…The fast atom bombardment spectra of the endorphins contained predominantly peaks due to the Y‐series ions, while the metastable ion and collision‐induced dissociation spectra showed abundant ions of both the B‐ and the Y‐series. The metastable ion and collision‐induced dissociation spectra of the ACTH peptides contained practically only peaks due to the Y‐series ions that were less intense compared with those from the endorphins (Tomer et al, 1988). In cooperation with the Dutch pharmaceutical company mentioned the amino acid sequence of a synthetic neuropeptide, and its deuterium labeled analogs was verified by use of fast atom bombardment and tandem mass spectrometry.…”

Tremendous developments in mass spectrometry have taken place in the last 40 years. This holds for both the science and the instrumental revolutions in this field. In chemistry the research was heavily focused on organic molecules that upon electron ionization fragmented via complex mechanistic pathways as shown by isotopic labeling experiments. These studies, including ion structure determinations, were performed with use of double focusing mass spectrometers of both conventional and reversed geometry, and equipped with various types of metastable ion scanning and collision-induced dissociation techniques developed by physical and analytical chemists. Time-resolved mass spectrometry by use of the field ionization kinetics method, developed by physical chemists, was another powerful way to unravel details of unimolecular gas phase ion dissociations. Then the development of new ionization methods, such as desorption chemical ionization, field desorption, and fast atom bombardment permitted not only to analyze unvolatile, thermally labile and higher molecular weight compounds, but also to study their chemical behavior in the gas phase, initially with use of double focusing instruments and later on with multisector and hybrid mass spectrometers. These ionization methods also enabled to study organometallic compounds and increasingly the field of medium-sized to large biomolecules, the latter being exploded in the last decade by the development of electrospray- and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Another area of research concerned the bimolecular chemistry of organic ions with organic molecules in the gas phase. Initially this was performed with use of among others drift-cell ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy, that later on was replaced by the developed method of ion trapping and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance. Combination of the latter with the afore-mentioned ionization methods has shifted also in this case the research on organic molecules to organometallic/inorganic systems, and predominantly to biomolecules in the last decade. This invited review will describe the research efforts made by the author's group over the last 40 years together with some personal experiences during his career.
