of Ni(II)- nor Mg(II)-adducted arachidonic acid (Figure 3a,b). We hypothesize that Ni(II) or Mg(II) adduction may yield a “less fixed” charge compared to Mn(II) adduction, thereby failing to provide all double bond locations in EID. EID of Mn(II)-adducted arachidonic acid was compared to IRMPD of the same species. In contrast to EID (believed to occur via both electronic and vibrational activation), dissociation in IRMPD occurs solely via vibrational excitation. The mixture of mostly [C xHy + Mn] + and [CxHyO2 + Mn] + species observed in EID (Figure 4a) implies competition between charge-driven and charge-remote processes. However, IRMPD of the same precursor ions mainly yielded product ions from charge-driven fragmentation, [CxHy + Mn] + , as expected from vibrational activation (Figure 4b). In contrast, high energy CAD (known to involve electronic excitation) provides mainly charge-remote product ions. 9 The internal energy required for charge-remote fragmentation is estimated to be ∼1.4-2.9 eV for protonated fatty acids. 39 In 70 eV EI, molecular ions of small alkenes were found to be isomerized to a mixture of interconverting structures. 40 We propose that the 25-50 eV electron energies used in EID are sufficient to promote charge-remote fragmentation but not high enough to cause isomerization of Mn(II)-adducted fatty acids, which would result in double bond migration. CONCLUSION Mn(II)-adducted fatty acids were analyzed to investigate the utility of EID for determining double bond locations. Charge- (39) Deterding, L.; Gross, M. L. Org. Mass.

Analysis of [CxHyO2 + Mn] + -type product ion abundances from EID of Mn(II)-adducted fatty acids allowed determination of all double bond positions. However, other metal adducts did not generally provide characteristic product ion abundances at all double bond locations. The resulting structural information on double bond locations for Mn(II)adducted fatty acids may be explained by dominant electronic excitation processes in EID and efficient generation of a fixed charge at the carboxylate end due to strong interaction between Mn(II) cation and carboxylate anion. EID of Mn(II)-adducted arachidonic acid was compared with IRMPD of the same species. As expected, mostly charge-driven fragmentation was observed in IRMPD whereas both charge-remote and chargedriven product ions were observed in EID. In contrast, high energy CAD is known to occur mainly via electronic excitation and results in dominant charge-remote product ions.

Pr. Angot, 64053 Pau, France, and EA 3672 Santé-Travail-Environnement, Université Victor Segalen, 146, rue Léo Saignat, 33076 Bordeaux A comprehensive approach to the characterization of metallothionein (MT) isoforms based on microbore HPLC with multimodal detection was developed. MTs were separated as Cd7 complexes, detected by ICP MS and tentatively identified by molecular mass measured with 1-2 ppm accuracy using Orbital ion trap mass spectrometry. The identification was validated by accurate mass of the corresponding apo-MTs after postcolumn acidification and by their sequences acquired online by higher-energy collision dissociation MS/MS. The detection limits down to 10 fmol and 45 fmol could be obtained by ESI MS for apo- and Cd7-isoforms, respectively, and were lower than those obtained by ICP MS (100 fmol). The individual MT isoforms could be sequenced at levels as low as 200 fmol with the sequence coverage exceeding 90%. The approach was successfully applied to the identification of MT isoforms induced in a pig kidney cell line (LLC-PK1) exposed to CdS nanoparticles. Mammalian metallothioneins (MT) are low molecular weight proteins (60-62 amino acid with molecular mass of ca. 6000-7000 Da) characterized by high cysteine content (up to 30% residues) enabling to bind a wide range of transition and heavy metal ions. 1-3 They are involved in a variety of biochemical processes essential for life, such as cellular growth, stress response, copper and zinc homeostasis, and detoxification of heavy metals. Hence, MTs can be valuable biomarkers of stress conditions and several pathologies which require the development of methods for the determination and identification of the individual MT isoforms and products of their post-translational modifications. 4-7 The primary * To whom correspondence should be addressed. † Laboratoire de Chimie Analytique Bio-Inorganique et Environnement. ‡ Université Victor Segalen.

Electrospray MS, coupled with a high-resolution separation techniques, such as reversed-phase chromatography 22 or capillary electrophoresis, 23-25 was shown to be an attractive technique to (7) Coyle, P.; Philcox, J.
