AbstractNegative ion collision-induced dissociation (CID) of underivatized N-glycans has proved to be a simple, yet powerful method for their structural determination. Recently, we have identified a series of such structures with GalNAc rather than the more common galactose capping the antennae of hybrid and complex glycans. As part of a series of publications describing the negative ion fragmentation of different types of N-glycan, this paper describes their CID spectra and estimated nitrogen cross sections recorded by travelling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry (TWIMS). Most of the glycans were derived from the recombinant glycoproteins gp120 and gp41 from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), recombinantly derived from human embryonic kidney (HEK 293T) cells. Twenty-six GalNAc-capped hybrid and complex N-glycans were identified by a combination of TWIMS, negative ion CID, and exoglycosidase digestions. They were present as the neutral glycans and their sulfated and α2→3-linked sialylated analogues. Overall, negative ion fragmentation of glycans generates fingerprints that reveal their structural identity.

Many experiments show features of the Raman spectrum at variance with the predictions of conventional theory. One persistent discrepancy, the cut-off in the spectrum of scattered light at about 1·5λ0, led Simon and Short to postulate that the scattered spectrum is not Raman light as such, but derives from enhanced Thomson scattering from plasmas in which a population of suprathermal electrons is present. We describe a set of simulations which model the propagation of a light wave through a plasma characterized by two electron temperatures with the hot electron fraction varying between 0 and 0·05. The results show that enhanced Thomson scattering will contribute to the spectra observed in some experiments at least and confirm the contention that the spectrum of the scattered light is not especially sensitive to the width of the suprathermal electron feature. We have also examined the effect of a finite quiver velocity on the enhanced Thomson spectrum as a function of the population of suprathermal electrons, in particular its effect on the wavelength bands.

AbstractThe effects of dynamic temperature and electron–electron collisions on the elastic electron–ion collision are investigated in a collisional plasma. The second-order eikonal analysis and the velocity-dependent screening length are employed to derive the eikonal phase shift and eikonal cross section as functions of collision energy, electron collision frequency, Debye length, impact parameter, and thermal energy. It is interesting to find out that the electron–electron collision effect would be vanished; however, the dynamic temperature effect is included in the first-order approximation. We have found that the dynamic temperature effect strongly enhances the eikonal phase shift as well as the eikonal cross section for electron–ion collision since the dynamic screening increases the effective shielding distance. In addition, the detailed characteristic behavior of the dynamic screening function is also discussed.
