Application of electrospray ionization with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry for structural screening of core oligosaccharides from lipopolysaccharides of the bacteria Proteus
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry 19(16) (2005) 2343-2349
 

Electrospray ionization with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICRMS) was used for screening and structural elucidation of core oligosaccharides isolated from lipopolysaccharides of bacteria of the genus Proteus. Mass spectra allowed the determination of the molecular masses with high accuracy and the estimation of the chemical heterogeneity of the samples. They did not, however, provide sufficient information to identify structural details of the branched oligosaccharides. Therefore, various fragmentation techniques for determining such details were examined. Infrared multiphoton dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (IRMPD-MS/MS) experiments in negative ion mode resulted in cleavage between the structurally conserved inner core region and the variable outer core region. Positive ion capillary skimmer dissociation mass spectra showed numerous fragment ion peaks, including those corresponding to the subsequent cleavage of the glycosidic linkages starting from the non-reducing end of the oligosaccharide. Despite their complexity, these mass spectrometric studies allowed confirmation of previously determined Proteus lipopolysaccharide core structures, and identification of new related structures in other strains of these bacteria.
