Abstract
The study of metal ion's role in the biological processes of Alzheimer's disease has spurred investigations into the coordination chemistry of amyloid beta peptide and its fragments. Nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nESI-MS) has been utilized to examine the stabilization of bound anions on multiprotein complexes without bulk solvent. However, the effects of anions on metal ion binding interactions with amyloid beta peptide have not been explored. This study directly examined metal-peptide complexes using nESI-MS and investigated the effects of various anions on the binding ratio and stability of these complexes from ammonium salt solutions. The results indicate that different anions have distinct effects on the binding ratio and stability of various metal-peptide complexes. Of these, the bicarbonate ion exhibits the highest binding ratios for metal-peptide complexes, while binding ratios for these complexes in phosphate are comparatively low. Our results suggest that acetate, formate, bicarbonate, and phosphate have weak affinities and act as weak stabilizers of the metal-peptide complex structure in the gas phase. Intriguingly, chloride and sulfate act as stabilizers of the metal-peptide complex in the gas phase. The rank order determined from these data is substantially different from the Hofmeister salt series in solution. Although this outcome was anticipated due to the reduced influence of anions and water solvation, our findings correlate well with expected anion binding in solution and emphasize the importance of both hydration layer and anion-metal-peptide binding effects for Hofmeister-type stabilization in solution. This approach proved useful in examining the interactions between metal ions and amyloid beta peptide, which are relevant to Alzheimer's disease, using direct ESI-MS.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mass Spectrometry publishes papers on a broad range of topics of interest to scientists working in both fundamental and applied areas involving the study of gaseous ions.
The aim of JMS is to serve the scientific community with information provided and arranged to help senior investigators to better stay abreast of new discoveries and studies in their own field, to make them aware of events and developments in associated fields, and to provide students and newcomers the basic tools with which to learn fundamental and applied aspects of mass spectrometry.
