A new method that makes possible, for the first time, simultaneous acquisition of individual dissociation mass spectra of isomeric ions in mixtures is presented. This method exploits the exquisite sensitivity of blackbody infrared radiative dissociation kinetics to minor differences in ion structure. Instead of separating precursor ions based on mass (isomers have identical mass), fragment ions are related to their original precursor ions on the basis of rate constants for dissociation. Mixtures of the peptide isomers des-R1 and des-R9 bradykinin are dissociated simultaneously at several temperatures. By fitting the kinetic data to double-exponential functions, the dissociation rate constant and abundance of each isomer in the mixture are obtained. To overcome the difficulty of fitting double-exponential functions, a novel global analysis method is used in which several dissociation data sets collected at different temperatures are simultaneously fit. The kinetic data measured at multiple temperatures are modeled with the preexponentials (corresponding to the abundance of each isomer) as "global" parameters which are constant for all data sets and the exponentials (rate constants) as "local" variables which differ for each data set. The use of global parameters significantly improves the accuracy with which abundances and dissociation rate constants of each individual compound can be obtained from the mixture data. Fragment ions produced from a mixture of these two isomers are related back to their respective precursor ions from the kinetic data. Thus, not only can the composition of the isomeric mixture be determined but an individual tandem mass spectrum of each component in the mixture can be obtained.
