Native mass spectrometry continues to develop as a significant complement to traditional structural biology techniques. Within native mass spectrometry (MS), surface-induced dissociation (SID) has been shown to be a powerful activation method for the study of noncovalent complexes of biological significance. High-resolution mass spectrometers have become increasingly adapted to the analysis of high-mass ions and have demonstrated their importance in understanding how small mass changes can affect the overall structure of large biomolecular complexes. Herein we demonstrate the first adaptation of surface-induced dissociation in a modified high-mass-range, high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The SID device was designed to be installed in the Q Exactive series of Orbitrap mass spectrometers with minimal disruption of standard functions. The performance of the SID-Orbitrap instrument has been demonstrated with several protein complex and ligand-bound protein complex systems ranging from 53 to 336 kDa. We also address the effect of ion source temperature on native protein-ligand complex ions as assessed by SID. Results are consistent with previous findings on quadrupole time-of-flight instruments and suggest that SID coupled to high-resolution MS is well-suited to provide information on the interface interactions within protein complexes and ligand-bound protein complexes.
