Argentinated peptide ions are formed in abundance under matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) conditions in the presence of Ag+ ions. These argentinated peptide ions are fragmented facilely under MALDI-MS/MS conditions to yield [b(n) + OH + Ag]+, [b(n) - H + Ag]+ and [a(n) - H + Ag]+ ions that are indicative of the C-terminal sequence. These observations parallel those made earlier under electrospray MS conditions (Chu, I. K; Guo, X.; Lau, T.-C.; Siu, K W. M. Anal. Chem. 1999, 71, 2364-2372). A mixed protonated and argentinated tryptic peptide map was generated from 37 fmol of bovine serum albumin (BSA) using MALDI-MS. MALDI-MS/MS data from four argentinated peptides at a protein amount of 350 fmol unambiguously identified the protein as BSA. Sequence-tag analysis of two argentinated tryptic peptides was used to identify unambiguously myocyte enhancer factor 2A, which had been recombinantly expressed in a bacterial cell line.

Rationale: The increased use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for various biological applications, and over-expression of various peptide receptors in different tumors/cancer cells, necessitate the need for dedicated investigations on the intrinsic binding ability of Ag with various biologically important peptides for better understanding of AgNPs-peptide interactions and for the future development of contrasting agents as well as drugs for imaging/biomedical applications.
Methods: The [M+(Ag)n ](+) complexes are prepared and characterized using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS).

Rationale: Experiments were performed to probe the creation of apparent even-electron, [M-H](+) ions by CID of Ag-cationized peptides with N-terminal imine groups (Schiff bases).
Methods: Imine-modified peptides were prepared using condensation reactions with aldehydes. Ag(+) -cationized precursors were generated by electrospray ionization (ESI).

We have examined the multi-stage collision induced dissociation (CID) of metal cationized leucine enkephalin, leucine enkephalin amide, and the N-acetylated versions of the peptides using ion trap mass spectrometry. In accord with earlier studies, the most prominent species observed during the multi-stage CID of alkali metal cationized leucine enkephalin are the [b(n) + 17 + Cat]+ ions. At higher CID stages (i.

Tandem mass spectrometry performed on a pool of 18 oligopeptides shows that the product ion spectra of argentinated peptides, the [bn + OH + Ag]+ ions and the [yn - H + Ag]+ ions bearing identical sequences are virtually identical. These observations suggest strongly that these ions have identical structures in the gas phase. The structures of argentinated glycine, glycylglycine, and glycylglycylglycine were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/DZVP level of theory; they were independently confirmed using HF/LANL2DZ.
