Collision cross sections of high-mannose N-glycans in commonly observed adduct states – identification of gas-phase conformers unique to [M − H] ions

We report collision cross sections (CCS) of high-mannose N-glycans as [M + Na]+, [M + K]+, [M + H]+, [M + Cl], [M + H2PO4] and [M − H] ions, measured by drift tube (DT) ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) in helium and nitrogen gases.

Early stages of insulin fibrillogenesis examined with ion mobility mass spectrometry and molecular modelling

Mass spectrometry shows insulin oligomers [I]n where n ranges from 1-12, and ion mobility analysis reveals ∼60 structurally distinct species across this oligomer distribution. Experimental data trains MD simulations to characterize a persistent prefibrillar protein oligomer that is a dimer enriched in β sheets.

High resolution ion mobility-mass spectrometry for separation and identification of isomeric lipids

Separation and identification of isomeric species is a major challenge in lipidomics. Herein, we demonstrate that lipid isomers that differ only in position of the acyl chain, position of the double bond or double bond geometry can be distinguished using drift-tube ion mobility-mass spectrometry, even in complex biological samples.
