This proposal describes a program for developing gas-phase ion separation strategies for the analysis of complex biomolecular mixtures such as combinatorial libraries. Preliminary data show that a new ion mobility/time-of-flight mass spectrometry technique combined with electrospray ionization allows components of complex peptide mixtures to be simultaneously characterized. Th this approach the components of the mixture are ionized and the ions are separated by differences in their mobilities through an inert buffer gas before being dispersed into a mass spectrometer. The gas-phase separation step allows structural and sequence isomers to be distinguished. An important feature of the proposal is the development of instrumentation that is capable of parallel sequencing of multiple mobility-separated components of a mixture. This is feasible because fragment ions will be formed after mobility separation and thus are labeled according to parent ion mobilities. Applications of the proposed techniques to several types of libraries (peptide, oligonucleotide, and organic molecule) are outlined. The ability to characterize isomers within a given m/z ratio will have a tremendous impact on the utility of mass spectrometric methods in revealing whether or not expected library components are truly present. This will be a powerful tool in refinement of synthetic methods, and will provide opportunities for development of new search strategies.

本提案描述了一个开发气相离子分离策略的程序，用于分析复杂的生物分子混合物，如组合文库。初步数据表明，一种新的离子迁移率/飞行时间质谱技术结合电喷雾电离可以同时表征复杂肽混合物的成分。在这种方法中，混合物的成分被电离，离子通过惰性缓冲气体通过其迁移率的差异被分离，然后被分散到质谱仪中。气相分离步骤允许区分结构和序列异构体。该提案的一个重要特征是开发能够对混合物的多个流动性分离组分进行平行测序的仪器。这是可行的，因为碎片离子会在迁移率分离后形成，从而根据母离子迁移率进行标记。提出的技术应用于几种类型的文库（肽，寡核苷酸和有机分子）概述。在给定的m/z比内表征同分异构体的能力将对质谱方法的效用产生巨大影响，以揭示期望的库成分是否真正存在。这将是改进合成方法的有力工具，并将为开发新的搜索策略提供机会。
