Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS), a variant of mass spectrometry measures both m/z and charge, affording determination of the mass of ions in a sample. It is an advanced analytical technique used in the field of mass spectrometry. It's particularly powerful for analyzing very large molecules, such as proteins and polymers, with high precision. In CDMS, individual molecules are captured in a trap and then subjected to an electric field. As the molecules move within this field, their charge state is detected with extreme accuracy, often down to single charges. This information about the charge states can then be used to determine the mass of the molecules, providing detailed insights into their structure and composition. CDMS has found applications in various fields including biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS)
[edit]Charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) is an analytical technique used for the precise measurement of mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) of ions. Unlike conventional mass spectrometry methods, which measure ion masses indirectly based on their acceleration in an electric or magnetic field, CDMS directly detects the charge of individual ions. This technique involves trapping ions in an electrostatic field and measuring the induced charge as they move within the field. By analyzing the charge distribution of ions, CDMS provides accurate mass measurements and has applications in the analysis of biomolecules, nanoparticles, and polymers. It offers high sensitivity and resolution, making it valuable for studying complex molecular systems and characterizing macromolecules with diverse structures.[1]
Overview and Experimental Process
[edit]In charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS), the ions are first formed by a separate technique such as Electrospray Ionization (ESI) or Laser Ablation which induces a charge on the atoms. Once charged, the ions are trapped into a metal tube with electrodes that apply an electric field. This electric field causes the ions to oscillate which induces a charge on the tube which can be then detected by the amplifier. The frequency at which the ions oscillate undergo a Fourier transform which allows for accurate characterization with minimal error. Depending on the ion, there are different oscillation frequencies that occur which allow for precise detection of the ion's mass to charge. By analyzing the mass to charge ratios, a mass spectrum can then be formed to display a distribution of the ions mass to charge ratios present in the sample. Typically, the data is collected over the span of tens of minutes to hours.[2][3]
Linear Ion Traps AND TrueMass
[edit]When CDMS is based on linear ion traps, only a few ions enter a metal tube simultaneously. These ions then bounce back and forth between electrodes placed at both ends of the ion trap. The oscillating ions induce a charge detected by an amplifier; their oscillation frequency is then used to determine m/z. The charge is is induced, which an amplifier detects. The m/z is determined by the oscillation frequency of the ions (uses Fourier transform for data analysis). The Fourier transform signal gives an amplitude, which is used to calculate the charge. The error rate of the assignment of the charge state is very low due to Fourier transform data analysis. This type of CDMS is slow as each ion is measured individually. At TrueMass (a operation of one-person), John Hoyes has a CDMS instrument design which includes replacing the linear configuration for a path that is figure-eight. This new geometry would be potential solution to the inconvenience of the slow rate of quantity of ions analyzed seeing that at the end of the tube, the ions will not change directions. The instrument was built in partnership with a few companies, but is planned to be available to anyone.[4]
Orbitraps
[edit]When CDMS is performed on Orbitrap mass spectrometers, approximately 800 ions can enter the trap at one time. The m/z for each ion is then determined by its frequency of motion along a central electrode. The induced charge of the outer electrode is measured, and this charge is then proportional to the charge of a specific ion.[5]
Development
[edit]One of the major contributors to the development of CDMS is the Martin F. Jarrold, MFJ, Research Group. The Jarrold Lab stands at the forefront globally in pioneering the development and application of Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry for analyzing large biological molecules. [6] Martin F. Jarrold is a chemist specializing in physical and analytical chemistry and has made significant contributions towards charge detection mass spectrometry as well as ion-mobility spectrometry and heat capacity measurements of metal clusters. He also serves as the Robert & Marjorie Mann Chair at the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University. His involvement with Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS) dates back to 2006, during which time he has spearheaded numerous technical advancements that have significantly heightened the sensitivity and precision of CDMS, advancing it by orders of magnitude. Under Jarrold's guidance, his research group boasts two cutting-edge CDMS instruments, which have proven instrumental in collaborations with over 25 research teams worldwide. These collaborations have encompassed a diverse array of molecules, spanning protein complexes, viruses, nanoparticles, and lipoproteins, among others. [7] Currently, the MFJ group is developing a new CDMS instrument that implements a DC ion carpet, digitally scanned quadrupole, and a cylindrical cone trap. These devices were designed by the research group to measure the charge of high mass ions with near perfect precision. [8] Jarrold's research also spans to analyzing proteins, clusters, etc through ion-mobility spectrometry to observe variations from the original state and various conformations (distinct modes of protein folding). He has contributed to the publications of more than 250 articles, and has won the John B. Fenn Award, bestowed upon chemists who have made distinguished contributions to the field of mass spectrometry, at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry Conference for his research. In more recent years, Jarrold and his group have explored the formation of viral capsids by analyzing the intermediates in their assembly using CDMS.
Applications
[edit]Compared to normal mass spectrometry, CDMS is more suited for molecules with larger molecular weights.[9] This provides use in the biochemical field when analyzing various proteins. When these proteins are fragmented and ionized, they tend to have multiple charges as they are bulky molecules. Too many different charges in the molecule can cause peak broadening in regular mass spectrometry, which is hard to analyze. CDMS can assign specific charges to each ion. A clearer spectrum is generated as the instrument can account for multiple charges. This allows for the mass to be calculated by multiplying the charge to the m/z ratio. This leads to various advancements in biochemical and medical fields, as it allows for more information to be gathered about viruses.[10]
Charge detection mass spectrometry has been applicated in molecular biology and biotechnology. One example is protein complexes. When used for protein complexes, with masses in the half megadalton range, are used to characterize the CDMS. This can provide information such as the stoichiometry of the complexes.[9] CDMS is also used to track protein aggregation which is associated with several diseases. This allows for the characterization of charge and length distribution which is difficult or not possible for other characterization methods.[9] CDMS has lead to several advancements in the molecular biology and biotechnology industries including the characterization of protein aggression and complexes.
Challenges
[edit]Navigating charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) presents several overarching challenges. Instrumentation complexity, encompassing the intricacies of charge detection devices and associated electronics, demands specialized expertise for construction and maintenance. Interpreting CDMS data requires advanced algorithms due to its multidimensional nature, often necessitating significant computational resources. Optimizing sample preparation techniques to preserve biomolecular structures adds another layer of complexity. These challenges highlight the ongoing need for advancements in instrumentation, data analysis methodologies, and sample preparation protocols to harness CDMS's potential across various research domains fully.
