Abstract
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). RESULTS Silver complexes of the peptides [M+(Ag)n ](+) , where M = oxytocin, arg(8) -vasopressin, bradykinin, bombesin, somatostatin, and neurotensin, have been investigated for their intrinsic Ag(+) -binding ability. Unusual binding of up to seven Ag(+) with these small peptides is observed. The mass spectra show n = 1-5 for bombesin and somatostatin, n = 1-6 for bradykinin and arg(8) -vasopressin, and n = 1-7 for oxytocin and neurotensin. In addition, oxytocin and arg(8) -vasopressin show the formation of dimers and their complexes [M2 +(Ag)n ](+) with n = 1-8 and n = 1-5, respectively. The possible amino acid residues responsible for Ag(+) binding in each peptide have been identified on the basis of density functional theory (DFT)-calculated binding energy values of Ag(+) towards individual amino acids. CONCLUSIONS Mass spectrometric evidence indicates that the peptides, viz., oxytocin, arg(8) -vasopressin, bradykinin, bombesin, somatostatin, and neurotensin, show greater affinity for Ag(+) . Hence, they may be used as carriers for AgNPs in targeted drug delivery as well as an alternative for iodinated contrasting agents in dual energy X-ray imaging techniques. Radio-labeled Ag with these peptides can also be used in radio-pharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
The binding preferences of Pb(2+)and Zn(2+) in doubly charged complexes with zinc finger-like 12-residue peptides (Pep), [Mn(Pep-2(n-1)H)](2+) have been explored using tandem mass spectrometry. The peptides were synthesized strategically by blocking the N-terminus with an acetyl group and with four cysteine and/or histidine residues in positions 2, 5, 8, and 11, arranged in different motifs: CCHH, CHCH, and CCCC. The MS(2) spectra of the Pb(2+) and Zn(2+) complexes show multiple losses of water and a single methane loss and these provide a sensitive method for locating the metal dication and so elucidating its coordination. The elimination of a methane molecule indicated the position of the metal at the Cys2 residue. Whereas lead was observed to preferentially bind to cysteine residues, zinc was found to primarily bind to histidine residues and secondarily to cysteine residues. Preferential binding of lead to cysteine is preserved in the complexes with more than one Pb(2+). Key to the mechanism of the loss of water and methane is the metal dication withdrawing electrons from the proximal amidic nitrogen. This acidic nitrogen loses its hydrogen to an amidic oxygen situated four atoms away leading to formation of a five-member ring and the elimination of water.

Abstract
Silver ion complexes of peptides [M + (Ag)(n) ](+) , M = angiotensin I or substance P where n = 1-8 and 17-23 for angiotensin I and n = 1-5 for substance P, are identified and characterized using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS). The Ag(+) coordination number exceeds the number of available amino acid residues in angiotensin I whereas the number of observed complexes in substance P is less than the number of amino acid residues in it. The larger coordination number of angiotensin I with Ag(+) indicates the simultaneous binding of several Ag(+) ions to the amino acid residue present in it. The lower number of observed complexes in substance P suggests the binding of two or more residues to one Ag(+) ion. The presence of trifluoroacetic acid in the peptide samples reduces the Ag(+) coordination ability in both the peptides which indicates that the basic residues in it are already protonated and do not participate in the Ag(+) -binding process. The Ag(+) ion also forms a complex with the α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) matrix and is observed in the MALDI mass spectra and the formation of [CHCA + Ag](+) , [CHCA + AgNO(3) ](+) and [(CHCA)(2) + Ag](+) ions is due to the high binding affinity of Ag(+) to the CN group of CHCA.

Abstract
A simple and effective method was developed for peptide sequencing and protein identification through the determination of its N-terminal residue. The method of N-terminal carbamidomethylation with iodoacetamide could specifically and remarkably enhance the intensity of a(1) ions in the tandem mass spectra of the peptide derivatives without significantly altering their fragmentation pattern, thus allowing determination of their N-terminal residues. The effectiveness and specificity of the method was demonstrated by confirming and extending sequence interpretation of several model peptides and proteins. The developed method was then applied in the LC-MS/MS analysis of the tryptic digests of myoglobin and a whole protein extract from rat heart tissues. The results from database searches were well validated with the enhancement of a(1) ions in tandem mass spectra and the specificity of protein identification was obtained when the information of N-terminal residues was included in the database search.

Abstract
The complexes formed between chromium(III) and synthetic acidic peptides were studied by sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) in a Fourier transform ion-cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization (ESI). Neutral peptides and peptides containing one, two, and multiple acidic residues were studied. Formation of [M + Cr-2H]+ occurred for all peptides. Three noteworthy features were found in the CID spectra of [M + Cr-2H]+. The first is that fewer fragment ions were produced from [M + Cr-2H]+ than from [M + H]+. The reason may be that multiple coordination between chromium(III) and carboxylate or carbonyl groups hinders the production of fragment ions by continuing to bind pieces of the peptide to chromium(III) after cleavage of bonds within the peptide. The second feature is loss of CO from [M + Cr-2H]+ and [y(n) + Cr-H]+. A mechanism involving coordination of chromium(III) with carboxylate groups is proposed to rationalize elimination of CO. The third feature is that chromium(III) is retained in all fragment ions, indicating strong binding of the metal ion to the peptides. The complex [M + 2Cr-5H]+ is formed as the peptide chain length and number of acidic residues increases. Longer peptides have more sites to coordinate with chromium(III) and more conformational flexibility. In addition, formation of [M + Cr-2H]+ from AGGAAAA-OCH(3), which has no carboxylic acid groups, suggests that chromium(III) can coordinate with sites on the peptide backbone, albeit in low abundance. In the negative mode, [M + Cr-4H](-) was only found for peptides containing four or more carboxylic acid groups. This is consistent with deprotonated carboxylic acid groups being involved in chromium(III) coordination and with chromium existing in the 3 + state in the gas-phase ions.

Abstract
Gas-phase complexes [La(peptide)](3+) containing 2-4 amino-acid residues have been investigated by electrospraying solutions containing La(3+) and the peptide; only complexes in which the peptide contained an arginine residue were observed. Using the coordination number of eight for La(3+) [Shi, T.; Hopkinson, A. C.; Siu, K. W. M. Chem. Eur. J. 2007, 13, 1142-1151] and the relative abundances of the hydrates [La(peptide)(H(2)O)(n)](3+), the number of binding sites provided by the peptides was deduced: Leu-Trp-Met-Arg, 7; Met-Arg-Phe-Ala, 6; Gly-Arg-Gly, 4; Gly-Gly-Arg 4; and Met-Arg, 4. Density Functional Theory calculations show that the zwitterionic form of Gly-Gly-Arg preferentially binds La(3+) through four coordination sites-the two amide oxygens and the two carboxy oxygens.

Abstract
A considerable momentum has recently been gained by in vitro and in vivo studies of interactions of trace elements in biomolecules due to advances in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS) used as a detector in chromatography and capillary and planar electrophoresis. The multi-isotopic (including non-metals such as S, P, or Se) detection capability, high sensitivity, tolerance to matrix, and large linearity range regardless of the chemical environment of an analyte make ICP MS a valuable complementary technique to electrospray MS and MALDI MS. This review covers different facets of the recent progress in metal speciation in biochemistry, including probing in vitro interactions between metals and biomolecules, detection, determination, and structural characterization of heteroatom-containing molecules in biological tissues, and protein monitoring and quantification via a heteroelement (S, Se, or P) signal. The application areas include environmental chemistry, plant and animal biochemistry, nutrition, and medicine.

Abstract
Gas-phase reactions of multiply protonated polypeptides and metal containing anions represent a new methodology for manipulating the cationizing agent composition of polypeptides. This approach affords greater flexibility in forming metal containing ions than commonly used methods, such as electrospray ionization of a metal salt/peptide mixture and matrix-assisted laser desorption. Here, the effects of properties of the polypeptide and anionic reactant on the nature of the reaction products are investigated. For a given metal, the identity of the ligand in the metal containing anion is the dominant factor in determining product distributions. For a given polypeptide ion, the difference between the metal ion affinity and the proton affinity of the negatively charged ligand in the anionic reactant is of predictive value in anticipating the relative contributions of proton transfer and metal ion transfer. Furthermore, the binding strength of the ligand anion to charge sites in the polypeptide correlates with the extent of observed cluster ion formation. Polypeptide composition, sequence, and charge state can also play a notable role in determining the distribution of products. In addition to their usefulness in gas-phase ion synthesis strategies, the reactions of protonated polypeptides and metal containing anions represent an example of a gas-phase ion/ion reaction that is sensitive to polypeptide structure. These observations are noteworthy in that they allude to the possibility of obtaining information, without requiring fragmentation of the peptide backbone, about ion structure as well as the relative ion affinities associated with the reactants.

Abstract
The recent developments in analytical techniques capable of providing information on the identity and quantity of heteroatom-containing biomolecules are critically discussed. Particular attention is paid to the emerging areas of bioinorganic analysis including: (i) a comprehensive analysis of the entirety of metal and metalloid species within a cell or tissue type (metallomics), (ii) the study of the part of the metallome involving the protein ligands (metalloproteomics), and (iii) the use of a heteroelement, naturally present in a protein or introduced in a tag added by means of derivatisation, for the spotting and quantification of proteins (heteroatom-tagged proteomics). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS), used as detector in chromatography and electrophoresis, and supported by electrospray and MALDI MS, appears as the linchpin analytical technique for these emerging areas. This review focuses on the recent advances in ICP MS in biological speciation analysis including sensitive detection of non-metals, especially of sulfur and phosphorus, couplings to capillary and nanoflow HPLC and capillary electrophoresis, laser ablation ICP MS detection of proteins in gel electrophoresis, and isotope dilution quantification of biomolecules. The paper can be considered as a followup of a previous review by the author on a similar topic (J. Szpunar, Analyst, 2000, 125, 963).

Abstract
Protonated peptides derived from proline-rich proteins (PRP) are often difficult to sequence by standard collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometry (MS) due to preferential amide bond cleavage N-terminal to proline. In connection with bovine spongiform encephalopathy regulations, proteolytic products derived from the PRP collagen have been suggested as markers for contamination of animal feedstuffs with processed animal protein (Fernandez Ocaña, M. et al., Analyst 2004, 129, 111-115). Herein, we report the identification of these marker peptides using the strategy of C-terminal sequencing by CID MS from their sodium and lithium adducts. Upon fragmentation a new cationized peptide was produced that is one C-terminal amino acid shorter in length. This dissociation pathway allowed for the facile identification of the C-terminal residue by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Each newly formed cationized peptide was further fragmented by up to seven stages of electrospray ionization ion trap MS. Proline-rich C-terminal sequence tags were established which permitted successful database identification of collagen alpha type I proteins.

Abstract
MS(n) experiments involving low energy collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) in a quadrupole ion trap were used to characterize the fragmentation of alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal complexes of five cyclic peptides, and the results were compared with those obtained for protonated cyclic peptides. Complexes with metal ions produced enhanced abundances of the most diagnostic fragments for elucidating the primary structures. For cyclosporin A, nickel and lithium complexes gave additional sequence information compared with the protonated peptide. For depsipeptides, sodium and lead complexes were superior to the protonated peptide or other metal complexes for sequencing residues, and CAD of the lead complexes led to preferential cleavage of two residues at a time. For cyclic lipopeptides, complexes with silver, nickel and strontium ions provided enhanced abundances of key fragment ions.

Abstract
Gas-phase complexes of triply charged metal ions with peptides may be readily produced using electrospray ionization, including for small peptides such as bradykinin and peptides with no basic residues such as insulin chain A. Attachment without charge-reduction is demonstrated for all trications studied: La(3+), Al(3+), Ga(3+), Fe(3+), V(3+), and Cr(3+). The intensities of adducts are often comparable to, or even exceed, those of protonated analogs in any charge state.

Abstract
Abundant Ag(I)-cationized complexes of 13 polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), [Ag+PAH](+) and [Ag+2(PAH)](+), were readily generated by electrospray ionization (ESI). In-source collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the [Ag+2(PAH)](+) complex yielded the monomer complex [Ag+PAH](+), which fragmented further to yield the radical molecular ion [PAH](+.). Based on significant differences in relative intensities of [Ag+2(PAH)](+), [Ag+PAH](+) and [PAH](+.), isomeric PAHs can be differentiated. The [PAH](+.)/[Ag+PAH](+) ion intensity ratio was found to increase with decreasing ionization potentials (IPs) of PAHs. The ratio was significantly different for the isomeric PAHs studied over a wide range of PAH concentrations (1.6-100 nmol/mL), and showed good measurement reproducibility; the coefficient of variation of inter-day measurements was in the range 3-12% for four representative PAHs (n = 5). Detection limits for phenanthrene, pyrene, chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene, in the form of the monomer complexes [(107)Ag+PAH](+) and measured in the selected-ion monitoring (SIM) mode, were 0.31, 0.63, 0.16 and 1.25 pmol/5 microl injection, respectively (S/N ratio approximately 2-3).
