Abstract

The work is aimed at developing a numerical method for analysing mass spectra of deutero-substituted multicharged ions of biopolymers to determine contributions of components presumably corresponding to different biomolecule conformations. The two-dimensional decomposition of the H-D exchange mass spectra of two, three and four charged apamin ions with their separation suggests that the reaction of apamin ions with ND3 molecules in the gas phase reveals hypothetically three different structural modifications of apamin ions. Usually for H-D exchange mass spectra, the presence of many resolvable protein structures was determined from measured distributions of peak intensities of ions with the same charge state. The method is new and has no published analogues.
