In the present work, we employ trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) for conformational analysis of several model peptides. The TIMS distributions are extensively compared to recent ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) studies reported in the literature. At a resolving power (R) exceeding 250, many new features, otherwise hidden by lower resolution IMS analyzers, are revealed. Though still principally limited by the plurality of conformational states, at present, TIMS offers R up to 3 to 8 times greater than modern drift tube or traveling wave IMS techniques, respectively. Unlike differential IMS, TIMS not only is able to resolve congested conformational features but also can be used to determine information about their relative size, via the ion-neutral collision cross section, offering a powerful new platform to probe the structure and dynamics of biochemical systems in the gas phase.
