Abstract
We have used normal metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) microcalorimeter to measure the impact energy of protein ions produced by electrospray ionization (ESI) in a magnetic-sector mass spectrometer (MS). We have used these measurements to resolve spectral ambiguities and to analyze protein mixtures. Energy measurement may be useful for the direct MS analysis of complex biopolymer mixtures that normally would confound ESI-MS deconvolution algorithms.
