A modified ion trapdetector has been utilized to obtain high-performance collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra of peptide ions formed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). MALDI ions are trapped while increasing the fundamental radio frequency field, obviating the need for elevated helium gas pres-sures. Molecular ion isotopic clusters are then isolated by a reverse-forward-reverse scan sequence. A single species within the isotopic cluster (generally the monoiso-topic mass) is then selected for activation. Finally, modulation of the amplitude of the resonant excitation voltage on the end-cap electrodes, used previously to improve mass calibration in normal mass spectra, is now utilized to provide high mass accuracy for the product ions. The CID mass spectra of several protonated and sodium-cationized peptides are presented and are often characterized by a series of rearrangement ions that can be utilized in the determination of amino acid sequences.Collision-induced dissociation (CID) 1 enhances the structural information available from mass spectrometry by increasing the fragmentation of molecular and fragment ions through energetic collisions with an inert gas. CID is used most effectively on tandem instruments, which also provide the opportunity for selection of a single ionic species from a mixture in the first mass analyzer and recording of its CID mass spectrum in the second. Tandem mass spectrometers currently include four-sector, 1 2 triple-quadrupole, 3 and hybrid4 instruments, as well as Fourier transform mass spectrometers (FTMS) 5 and quadrupole ion traps6 configured to carry out tandem-in-time measurements in a single mass analyzer. For the determinationof complex biological structures, unit mass selection of precursor ions, high resolution, and accurate mass assignment of product ions may be required7 and can generally be achieved only on four-sector and FTMS instruments. These high-performance instruments are, of course, the most
