Collisionally Activated Dissociation
(of proteins and peptides)
Prof. Peter B. O’Connor
EI Mass Spectrum of an acetylated and reduced peptide
Tandem Mass Spectrometry or MS/MS
MS/MSMS/MS/MS, or MS3
Benefits: 1.Extremely high specificity2.More structural information
Limitations:1.Isolation window2.Fragmentation efficiency3.Ion Losses

• Ion’s smack into neutral gas molecules and break up
• Energy of the collision is controlled by changing the kinetic energy of the ion.
• Fragments scatter radially
• By far the most common MS/MS technique
• slow fragmentation method, deposits vibrational energy throughout the molecule prior to fragmentation.
•SORI-CAD, ITMSn, Triple quad, TOF/TOF, etcetera
Photo-Dissociation
++

• Ion absorbs photon(s) and break
• Energy of the fragmentation is controlled by changing the photon’s wavelength.
• No scattering, except for multiply charged ions
•slow fragmentation method, deposits vibrational energy throughout the molecule prior to fragmentation (depends on wavelength).

• Ion smack into a surface, break, and rebound
• Energy of the fragmentation is controlled by changing the ion kinetic energy.
• Fragments scatter radially
•slow fragmentation method, deposits vibrational energy throughout the molecule prior to fragmentation.
•Ions are lost by neutralization at the surface (much better with perfluorinated surfaces)
Outline: Collision models• Collision theory
– Hard-sphere– Soft-sphere– Collision forces– Langevin Cross-section– Measuring cross-section– Use of cross-sections – ion mobility– Reactive collisions – ion molecule reactions– Internal energy deposition– Many, low energy collisions versus single high
energy collisions
• Peptide fragmentation nomenclature– Roepstorff– Biemann
• examples• Preferential cleavage sites
– Asp/glu– Pro
•Structure of b,y ions
•B2 ion
•More examples
•Breakdown diagrams
•Proteins versus peptides
•Oddball spectra – a/x ions in ubiquitin or CA

Θ = scattering angle
For the usual case of mion >> mneutral, and for the “worst case” scenario of a head-on collision (θ=0), this reduces to:

m
This is the maximum amount of collision energy available, which will be distributed into translational, vibrational, and rotational modes.
Note: increasing the neutral’s mass, increases energy deposition
Internal Energy
Conversion
Typically, 20-50% of the ΔE is converted to internal vibrational energy.
This ratio is a function of temperature, number of states, transition state energies of each reaction channel, etc.

A Mobile Proton Theory of Peptide Fragmentation
• The most stable protonated form may not be the fragmenting structure
• Fragmentation (backbone) occurs due to the weakening of the amide bond, i.e. decrease of the bond order
• Calculations showed that this will happen in the case of the protonation of the amide N
• The more “mobile” (not localised) the proton, the more fragments in a MS/MS spectrum =>the more information from the spectrum
Proton affinity
Amino acid Proton affinity (kcal/mol)
Proton affinity (eV’s)
Lysine 110 4.8
Histidine 290 12.6
Arginine 315 13.7
Backbone amide
~40 1.7
Thus, the amino acids are protonated at Arginine first, then Histidine, then Lysine, then the backbone.

Self Assessment questions• What’s the main cleavage type for peptides/proteins under
CAD/SID/IRMPD condition? Draw the structures of the fragments.• What additional fragment ions come from higher energy
fragmentation? Draw the structures of the fragments.• Name two preferential cleavage points in peptide sequences.• What happens when a phosphoserine containing peptide undergoes
CAD?• Memorize the structures of all 20 natural amino acids. (this is a very
common viva question…)• Would a hard-sphere collision model or a langevin collision model
yield a higher cross section for collision with Argon?
