In this study, it was demonstrated that ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) can effectively discriminate isomers of cyclic oligosaccharides and provide models through molecular modeling. These results are significant for the identification of carbohydrate conformers that cannot be easily reached by other approaches.
Cyclic oligosaccharides are well known to interact with various metals, able to form supramolecular complexes with distinct sizes and shapes. However, the presence of various isomers in a sample, including positional isomers and conformers, can significantly impact molecular recognition, encapsulation ability and chemical reactivity. Therefore, it is crucial to have tools for deep samples probing and correlation establishments. The emerging ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has the advantages to be rapid and sensitive, but is still in its infancy for the investigation of supramolecular assemblies. In the herein study, it was demonstrated that IM-MS is suitable to discriminate several isomers of cyclodextrins (CD)-metals complexes, used as cyclic oligosaccharide models. In this sense, we investigated branched 6-O-& alpha;-glucosyl- or 6-O-& alpha;-maltosyl-& beta;-cyclodextrins (G1-& beta;-CD and G2-& beta;-CD) and their purely cyclic isomers: CD8 (& gamma;-CD) and CD9 (& delta;-CD). The corresponding collision cross section (CCS) values were deducted for the main positive singly and doubly charged species. Experimental CCS values were matched with models obtained from molecular modelling. The high mobility resolving power and resolution enabled discrimination of positional isomers, identification of various conformers and accurate relative content estimation. These results represent a milestone in the identification of carbohydrate conformers that cannot be easily reached by other approaches.
