Unknown peptide sequencing using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and in-source decay

Analytical Chemistry

Abstract

The results of a study to determine the utility of in-source decay fragmentation of matrix-assisted laser-desorbed ions for obtaining useful sequence information on unknown peptides are presented. Six peptides were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and submitted as single blind unknowns. The in-source decay fragment ion data were collected on a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer equipped with delayed extraction. These fragment ion data were manually interpreted on the basis of known fragmentation pathways to determine a proposed sequence. The proposed sequences for three of the unknowns were essentially correct, with a few minor errors. A fourth unknown had significant errors associated with its proposed sequence due to misinterpretation of the fragmentation data. Two unknowns were found to have undergone significant sample degradation prior to analysis, which compromised the results for these samples. An example of the use of protein database searching of a partial peptide sequence to aid in a sequence determination is also presented.
