Book excerpt: This dissertation details innovations in mass spectrometry-based instrumentation that expand our ability to survey biopolymers, including proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides, with increased sensitivity, speed, and depth. Chapter 1 provides an overview of mass spectrometry instrumentation at the leading edge of proteomics and for nucleic acid analysis. In Chapter 2, the optical-fiber enabled coupling of a mass spectrometer to an infrared laser improves proteomic characterization. For Chapter 3, electron transfer dissociation-based proteomics is investigated and inefficiencies of related ion-ion reactions are characterized. Chapter 4 introduces a novel nucleic acid sequencing technology with activated ion-negative electron transfer dissociation to profile RNA molecules and their modifications. In Chapter 5, tandem mass spectrometry comprehensively characterizes heavily-modified RNA therapeutics. Chapter 6 focuses on a proteome-wide analysis of the bacterial post-translational modification O-mycoloylation. In Chapter 7, a novel tandem mass spectrometry strategy, termed activated ion-tandem mass tags, is revealed, boosting quantitative reporter ion generation. Chapter 8 expands upon AI-TMT for quantitative single-cell proteomics, realizing sensitivity gains which drive a greater dynamic range of quantification. In Chapter 9, a novel mass spectrometer enables the one hour human proteome and we explore one minute proteome analyses, pushing the limits of high-throughput proteome analysis. Chapter 10 discusses emergent proteomic techniques and suggests future directions of the field.
