Towards understanding the formation of internal fragments generated by collisionally activated dissociation for top-down mass spectrometry

Benqian Wei et al.

Summary: This study compares the fragmentation patterns of internal and terminal fragments in mass spectrometry and finds that they share similar fragmentation propensities. The formation of internal fragments can be explained by the mobile proton model, and they can combine with terminal fragments to form complementary product ions that span the entire protein sequence.

Characterization of Insulin Dimers by Top-Down Mass Spectrometry

Simon K. Gammelgaard et al.

Summary: High-molecular weight products (HMWP) are critical quality attributes in insulin biopharmaceutical research and development. This study demonstrates the de novo characterization of cross-linked insulin dimers using top-down mass spectrometry workflows, including the efficient cleavage of interchain disulfide bonds and the identification of cross-link connectivities between chains. Various multistage approaches were utilized to identify the chemical composition and cross-link sites within the dimers, revealing specific cross-link patterns in different induced dimers.

Internal Fragment Ions Disambiguate and Increase Identifications in Top-Down Proteomics

Zach Rolfs et al.

Summary: A significant portion of unidentified fragment ion intensity in top-down proteomics is believed to come from internal fragment ions, which contain neither protein terminus. The computational complexity of internal fragment ions has historically limited their application to low-complexity samples, but the implementation of internal fragment ion functionality in MetaMorpheus allows for proteome-wide annotation of these ions, leading to disambiguation of proteoforms and increased identification accuracy. MetaMorpheus demonstrated success in disambiguating previously unclear proteoforms and improving proteoform-spectrum matches in mammalian cell lysates.

Tracking internal and external ions for constrained peptides leads to enhanced sequence coverage and disulfide bond deciphering

Steven Chin et al.

Summary: Top-down characterization of disulfide-rich peptides and proteins faces challenges due to the constrained amino acid backbone, often requiring chemical reduction or enzymatic digestion. In this study, collisional activation was used to confirm disulfide bond connectivity and localize modifications in synthetic therapeutic peptides. Traditional top-down sequencing experiments may overlook internal and external ions produced through secondary fragmentation pathways, which could simplify the experimental process in accurately depicting the disulfide connectivity and sequencing of these biomolecules.

Increasing Top-Down Mass Spectrometry Sequence Coverage by an Order of Magnitude through Optimized Internal Fragment Generation and Assignment

Nicholas D. Schmitt et al.

Summary: Intact protein fragmentation often lacks sequence coverage within proteins' interiors. Collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) produces internal fragmentation within proteins' interiors, filling existing gaps in sequence coverage. Challenges in identifying internal fragments, such as "frameshift ambiguity," can be overcome through optimizing methods and considering fragmentation propensities.

Summary: Monoclonal antibodies play a crucial role in treating cancer and immunological disorders, with disulfide bonds being key to the structure and activity of therapeutic antibodies. Monitoring disulfide connectivity and cysteine-related variants is essential during mAb manufacturing and storage, with mass spectrometry techniques being powerful tools for accurate identification of disulfide connectivity.
