The use of post-source decay matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for the structural analysis of ((partly) methyl-esterified) oligogalacturonides (oligoGalA) is described. The fragmentation behavior of purified (un)saturated oligoGalA (degree of polymerization 3-6), methyl-esterified and methyl-glycosydated oligoGalA was studied. General fragmentation patterns are described and used for the elucidation of the positions of methyl esters on partly methyl-esterified oligoGalA. This technique now permits the determination of the position of methyl esters or other substituents on pectic fragments, helping in understanding the mode of action of pectinolytic enzymes.

D019032 Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.
