The use of metal salts in electrospray ionization (ESI) of peptides increases the charge state of peptide ions, facilitating electron transfer dissociation (ETD) in tandem mass spectrometry. In the present study, K+and Ca2+were used as charge carriers to form multiply-charged metal–peptide complexes. ETD of the potassium- or calcium-peptide complex was initiated by transfer of an electron to a proton remote from the metal cation, and ac'-z• fragment complex, in which thec'andz• fragments were linked together via a metal cation coordinating with several amino acid residues, was formed. The presence of a metal cation in the precursor for ETD increased the lifetime of thec'-z• fragment complex, eventually generatingc• andz'fragments through inter-fragment hydrogen migration. The degree of hydrogen migration was dependent on the location of the metal cation in the metal-peptide complex, but was not reconciled with conformation of the precursor ion obtained by molecular mechanics simulation. In contrast, the location of the metal cation in the intermediate suggested by the ETD spectrum was in agreement with the conformation of “proton-removed” precursors, indicating that the charge reduction of precursor ions by ETD induces conformational rearrangement during the fragmentation process.
