Guest Speaker: Professor Evgeny Nikolaev, FFF Skoltech, The head of Laboratory of Ion and Molecular Physics of the Institute for Energy Problems of Chemical Physics Russian Academy of Sciences, The Head of Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry of Biomacromolecules of the Institute for Biochemical Physics Russian Academy of Sciences, The main scientific researcher of the Institute Biomedical Chemistry Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

When: March 27; 4:00pm.

Where: Institute of Gene Biology RAS, Vavilova street 34/5, Conference room, 1st floor.

What: Mass spectrometry of high resolution for biological research.

Abstract: Application of mass spectrometry in the field of top-down proteomics and protein modification analyses via accurate mass measurements is demanding further increase of the resolution and mass accuracy. We are discussing different approaches to MS analyses of biological mixtures and different instruments used: quadrupoles, time of flight, ion traps, ion cyclotron resonance MS (FT ICR) and orbitraps . Multidisciplinary project will be discussed which includes supercomputer simulations of ion cloud motion in high magnetic fields, ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry, signal processing, mass spectrometry in proteomics. Recently introduced new type of FT ICR measuring cell based on a Penning ion provides jump in both mass resolution and mass measurement accuracy. This new technology was born in supercomputer research of non neutral plasma behavior in Penning ion traps. Very high resolution was achieved for peptides (reserpine resolution 39 000 000 at 609 Da) and for proteins (BSA resolution 1 800 000 at 65 kDa) in moderate strength magnetic field (7 Tesla). Fine structure of isotopic cluster peaks in mass spectra of up to 5 KDa peptides has been resolved for the first time.
