Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) has proven to be an extremely powerful technique for studying the stoichiometry and binding strength of peptide-metal complexes. We have found a significant new problem in the ESI-MS of zinc-peptide systems involving the deposition of zinc in the ESI emitter. This deposition of zinc during the experiment removes a significant amount of zinc ions from the solution, impacting the resulting mass spectral intensities used to quantify the amount of the zinc-bound species. Analysis of infused zinc-peptide samples with atomic absorption spectrometry and with a custom-built nanoflow ESI source confirms the alteration of the analyte solutions with positive or negative or no potential applied to the emitter. Ultimately, the location of the zinc deposition was determined to be the stainless steel emitter. The use of a custom-built nanoESI interface using glass emitters was found to mitigate the zinc deposition problem. The phenomenon of metal deposition warrants further investigation as it may not be limited to just zinc and may represent a significant obstacle in the ESI-MS analysis of all protein-metal systems.
