It is well-known that mass resolving power in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS) can increase linearly with increasing applied magnetic field induction, B. Here, we show that eight other FTICR primary performance parameters theoretically also increase linearly (qu

β¦ Synopsis
An efficient technique for generation of H* (D*) radicals in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry is described. The method allows the probing of the reactivity of gas-phase H* radicals towards various ions isolated in the cell of an FTICR mass spectrometer. Results on interactions of H* and D* radicals with trapped positive or negative C60 fullerene ions, as well as singly charged peptide ions, are presented. Hydrogen radical addition or H/D-exchange reactions between trapped ions and free H* (D*) radicals were observed. Potential implementation of the technique for probing the gas-phase three-dimensional structures of polyatomic ions is discussed as well.

The use in Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry of the collision-induced dissociation of proton-bound dimers, the kinetic method or Cooks's method, is tested. This method is compared with the proton-transfer equilibrium method. Good agreement between the two methods is
A new method is presented to accurately determine the probability of having a deuterium or hydrogen atom on a specific amide position within a peptide after deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) exchange in solution. Amide hydrogen exchange has been proven to be a sensitive probe for studying protein structures
Trivalent and hexavalent chromium oxides have been examined by time-of-flight laser microprobe mass spectrometry and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICRMS). The positive-ion spectra show a strong correlation with the valency of chromium in the oxide. Thus, the positive
