Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) was used for several small proteins (such as insulin) and for peptides. It was found that the detection efficiencies of MALDI for the insulin B chain and the insulin A chain are drastically different. Similar phenomena were also observed for various types of peptides. The positive-ion signal of MALDI in detecting proteins or peptides was found to be greatly enhanced by the presence of a basic amino acid in their chains. The experimental results indicate that this enhancement may arise from proton transfer in solution by an acid-base reaction between the protein/peptide and matrix molecule. This pre-protonated mechanism provides a low energy barrier for the ionization of peptides in a MALDI process, and greatly reduces the energy threshold of MALDI. Matrix effects on the ionization mechanism are discussed.
