A novel ultra-high resolution multi-reflecting time-of-flight mass spectrometer in Y-MRT configuration for bottom-up proteomics
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The first results of using a new type of ultrahigh-resolution mass analyzer based on a planar multi-pass time-of-flight mass spectrometer with periodic reflecting lenses (Y-MRT MS) for bottom-up whole-proteome analysis are presented. The instrument achieves a resolving power of 1,000,000 for peptides across an m/z range of 200-2000, with a high repetition rate of 300 Hz (averaged to 1 Hz for enhanced dynamic range). In preliminary experiments, a single 30-minute gradient HPLC separation of 1 µg proteolytic cell digest yielded over 3700 protein groups (4500 at 5% FDR) in DirectMS1 mode (without fragmentation). Combining three technical runs increased this to 5200 protein groups at 5% FDR. Peptide ion mass measurements demonstrated an accuracy of 100-150 ppb across the whole m/z range, with a dynamic range exceeding 10⁴. In DIA mode (SWATH-DIA, 20 Th window, 30-minute gradient), 4200 protein IDs were obtained at 1% FDR. These results highlight Y-MRT mass analyzer potential as a powerful addition to existing high resolution mass spectrometers for bottom-up proteomics. Further improvements in proteome coverage and analysis time are anticipated with optimized HPLC configurations and the integration of gas-phase ion mobility separation.
