Time- and collision energy-resolved surface-induced dissociation (SID) of des-Arg(1)- and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin on a fluorinated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surface was studied by use of a novel Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) specially equipped to perform SID experiments. Time-resolved fragmentation efficiency curves (TFECs) were modeled by an RRKM-based approach developed in our laboratory that utilizes a very flexible analytical expression for the internal energy deposition function capable of reproducing both single- and multiple-collision activation in the gas phase and excitation by collisions with a surface. Both experimental observations and modeling establish a very sharp transition in the dynamics of ion-surface interaction: the shattering transition. The experimental signature for this transition is the appearance of prompt (time-independent) fragmentation, which becomes dominant at high collision energies. Shattering opens a variety of dissociation pathways that are not accessible to slow collisional and thermal ion activation. This results in much better sequence coverage for the singly protonated peptides than dissociation patterns obtained with any of the slow activation methods. Modeling demonstrated that, for short reaction delays, dissociation of these peptides is solely determined by shattering. Internal energies required for shattering transition are approximately the same for des-Arg(1) and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin, resulting in the overlap of fragmentation efficiency curves obtained at short reaction delays. At longer delay times, parent ions depletion is mainly determined by a slow decay rate and fragmentation efficiency curves for des-Arg(1) and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin diverge. Dissociation thresholds of 1.17 and 1.09 eV and activation entropies of -22.2 and -23.3 cal/(mol K) were obtained for des-Arg1 and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin from RRKM modeling of time-resolved data. Dissociation parameters for des-Arg(1)-bradykinin are in good agreement with parameters derived from thermal experiments. However, there is a significant discrepancy between the thermal data and dissociation parameters for des-Arg9-bradykinin obtained in this study. The difference is attributed to the differences in conformations that undergo thermal activation and activation by ion-surface collisions prior to dissociation.
