The gas-phase binding of small molecules to the Amyloid β-40 peptide generated by electrospray ionization has been explored with collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry and kinetic rate theory. This study discusses a simple procedure used to theoretically model the experimental breakdown diagrams for the Aβ-40 peptide complexed with a series of aminosulfonate small molecules, namely homotaurine, 3-cyclohexylamino-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid (CAPSO), 3-(1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-2H-β-carbolin-2-yl)propane-1-sulfonic acid, 3-(1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-2H-β-carbolin-2-yl)butane-1-sulfonic acid, and 3-(cyclohexylamino)propane-1-sulfonic acid. An alternative procedure employing an extrapolation procedure for k(E) is also discussed.
