Summary, Etc.  

요약Mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the most commonly used analytical techniques in bioanalytical analysis, allowing scientists to characterize molecules with very diverse chemical features. The advance in ionization strategies significantly improves the potential in using MS for that purpose, especially electrospray ionization (ESI) can generate ions directly from solution in ambient conditions, showing high flexibility in coupling with other techniques. Moreover, a hallmark of the ESI of large polymeric molecules is also its tendency to generate a distribution of charge states based on their chemical characteristics, allowing us to exploit the multiple charging phenomenon in various applications.This dissertation introduces the relationships between ESI and multiple charging phenomena with different proposed ionization models, and how condensed-phase and gas-phase approaches affect the multiple charging phenomenon. Moreover, multiply charged ions permit gas-phase ion/ion reactions to occur without neutralizing the ions. Therefore, various ion/ion reactions can be utilized for distinct analytical purposes. Objectively, this dissertation focuses on the investigation of the multiple charging phenomenon from ESI-MS, and the applications from taking the multiply charged ions to perform gas-phase ion chemistry in order to a) manipulate the charges of the targeted ions; b) invert the polarity of the targeted ions; c) and characterization of the ions from the gas-phase ion/ion reactions.The first work demonstrates how multiple components (i.e., complicated mixtures) lead to a highly congested spectrum of ions with overlapped m/z values, resulting from the multiple charging phenomenon after the ESI process. Utilizing ionic reactions can de-congest the spectra via manipulating the charges of the ions to separate the overlapped signals. A universal spectral pattern in the ESI mass spectra is observed while analyzing multiply-charged homopolymers. Various parameters, such as the charges of the ions, widths of polymer distributions, monomer mass, and cationizing agent masses, are investigated to show how they can affect the appearance of the unique patterns, which condense the information of the overall distribution of the homopolymers. Combined with gas-phase charge reduction (i.e., proton transfer reaction), we can characterize the size distribution of polydisperse homopolymer samples.Second, a novel type charge inversion ion/ion reaction summarizing the conversion of multiply charged protein ions to their opposite polarity and still holds multiple charges is reported. The reaction occurs via a single ion/ion collision with highly charged reagent ions, which we usually obtain from biological relevant polymers. Hyaluronic acid (HAs) anions and polyethylenimine (PEI) cations are used as the charge inversion reagents to react with protein ions. Remarkably, inversion of high absolute charge (up to 41) from the reaction is demonstrated. All mechanisms for ion/ion charge inversion involve low-energy ions proceeding via the formation of a long-lived complex. Factors that underlie the charge inversion of protein ions to the opposite polarity with high charge states in reaction with those reagent ions are hypothesized to include: (i) the relatively high charge densities of the HA anions and PEI cations that facilitate the extraction/donation of multiple protons from/to the protein leading to multiply charged protein anions/cations, (ii) the relatively high sum of absolute charges of the reactants that leads to high initial energies in the ion/ion complex, and (iii) the relatively high charge of the ion/ion complex following the multiple proton transfers that tends to destabilize the complex.
