A new method for double bond characterization in lipids by ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry

Lipids are structurally diverse biomolecules with vital functions in biological systems. Some of these functions are closely associated with the specific location of the carbon-carbon double bond in the lipid acyl chains. The chain length and the number of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds can be determined using conventional MS/MS-based structural elucidation methods employing low or higher energy collision-induced dissociation. However, these dissociation techniques do not provide more subtle structural details, for example, the position of unsaturated bonds. Another type of activation method – ultraviolet photodissociation can be used for this purpose. In this study, a new method for characterization of double bond location in lipids acyl chain was developed using 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation implemented on Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer. This approach is based on the derivatization of the double bond with bis-(5-iodo-[2]pyridyl)-disulfide, subsequent specific cleavages provide a unique diagnostic pair bearing information about the double bond position.

Anionic highly sulfated β- and γ-cyclodextrins (S-CDs) and single-isomer heptakis-(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfato)-β-CD (14Ac-7S-β-CD) were used for chiral separation of [5], [6] and [7]-ring helquats and helquat styryl dyes by capillary electrophoresis (CE) in the background electrolyte composed of 22 mM NaOH/35 mM H3PO4, pH 2.4. The CE method was applied for monitoring of racemization of eight helquats and helical dyes. Rate constant k of conversion, half-life T1/2 of racemization, and activation Gibbs free energy ΔGǂ of interconversion of one enantiomer into the other were calculated from the dependence of natural logarithm of enantiomeric excess (ee) on time using linear regression analysis.

Determination of binding constants of human insulin complexes with serotonin, dopamine, arginine, and phenol by pressure assisted partial filling affinity capillary electrophoresis
Šolínová, Veronika; Žáková, Lenka; Jiráček, Jiří; Kašička, Václav
2018 - English
A new method, pressure assisted partial filling affinity capillary electrophoresis (PF-ACE), has been developed to study noncovalent interactions of the hexamer of human insulin (HI) with cationic ligands, such as phenolic neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, and amino acid arginine, or with anionic ligand phenol, in alkaline aqueous solutions. The apparent binding constants, Kb, of the HI-ligand complexes were determined from the dependence of the effective migration time changes of the above ligands on the variable zone lengths of HI dissolved in the background electrolyte and hydrodynamically introduced into the bare fused silica capillary close to the UV detector. The HI interactions with the above ligands were found to be moderately strong, with Kb values in the range 385-1314 L/mol.

Temperature-programed micro-HPLC analysis of fatty acid methyl esters with APCI-MS detection

2018 - English
HPLC/APCI-MS analysis at microliters-per-minute flow rates was optimized for separation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). HPLC C18 column with an internal diameter of 0.3 mm and isocratic elution using 99.9 % acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid were employed. Standard APCI ion source was suitable for detection of FAMEs at 10 μl/min flow rate with the detection limit of micrograms-per-milliliter. APCI-MS spectra with predominant [M + H]+ molecular adducts were observed. The main advantage of micro-flow measurements is the possibility of using a temperature gradient, which significantly reduces retention times of FAMEs with longer aliphatic chain. The significant reduction of solvent consumption is also an important economic and environmental advantage. The positions of double bonds in FAME chains were established using acetonitrile-related adducts and tandem mass spectrometry. The optimized method was applied for analysis of FAMEs in triacylglycerol fraction of black currant seeds oil.
