Cross-ring cleavage ions produced by in-source decay (ISD), as well as deprotonated molecular ions [M - H]-, are invariably observed in negative-ion linear-mode matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry spectra of neutral oligosaccharides with 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (norharman) as a matrix. The patterns of ISD ions depend on the oligosaccharide linkage type; thus, these ions are potentially useful in linkage analysis. In postsource decay (PSD) spectra from chlorinated molecular ions [M + Cl]-, all PSD ions are observed in the deprotonated form, although no deprotonated molecular ions are detected. In oligosaccharides having an alditol at the reducing end, deprotonated molecular ions [M - H]- are clearly seen in linear-mode mass spectra and survive in the PSD measurements. These results indicate that the deprotonation process drives ISD and PSD of oligosaccharides and that keto-enol tautomerization at the reducing terminal promotes ISD and PSD processes.

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.
