We report the electron capture dissociation (ECD) mass spectrometry of the third generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer that contains amide functionalities. The dendrimer was chosen because it offers a unique opportunity to understand the ECD behavior of the amide functionality in a framework other than peptides/proteins. In this study; PAMAM ECD was found to exhibit a fragmentation pattern strikingly different from that of ordinary peptide/protein ECD. Specifically; ECD of multiply protonated PAMAM ions gave rise to significant b• y cleavages as well as S; E dissociations but; unexpectedly; only minor c; z&bull fragmentations are observed. In an effort to account for the unexpectedly different fragmentation pattern; a comparative ECD experiment on the poly(propylene imine) dendrimer in which the amide bond moiety is not available and density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-311 + G(d)) investigations on the model system of a charge-solvated single-repeat unit were carried out. On the basis of these results; we discuss here possible implications of intramolecular charge-solvation; energy barriers in dissociation reactions; and macromolecular properties of the dendritic molecule for understanding the reaction pathway of PAMAM ECD. © 2006 American Society for Mass Spectrometry;
