We describe two approaches employing electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) post-source decay (PSD) for determining the location of an abasic site in modified oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs). With MS/MS, we found both complementary fragment ions (a(n)' and w(n)') produced at the abasic site were predominant in the mass spectra and allowed the location to be determined. Under MALDI conditions, most ODNs carrying an abasic site are singly charged, and PSD gives predominately w(n)' ions at the abasic sites, revealing their location. We also describe another approach for identifying and locating abasic sites in model ODNs; namely, an in situ derivatization coupled with MALDI mass spectrometry (MS). In general, an ODN n-mer containing an abasic site at the m-th position from the 5-terminus can react with the matrix component, anthranilic acid, to form a Schiff base. The adduct upon MALDI breaks into 3' and 5' fragments (W-n-m,W- b(m), a(m), d(m-1)) at the abasic site, revealing its location. ESI MS methods are also applicable for detecting the hydrazone derivatives of abasic sites, and the fragmentation of hydrazones shows the location of the abasic site.
