inhibitor screening for drug design, such as the carbamates
inhibitors of AChE in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.6, 16
Before the monitoring of enzymatic reaction, the salt
tolerance of 2-D Zn2(bim)4 nanosheets matrix was evaluated
(Fig. 3, S16, and S17). It confirmed that the matrix could
unusually afford up to 1000 mM of NaCl or NH4HCO3 in both
positive and negative ion modes, giving the wide choice of
buffer conditions for enzymatic reaction. As shown in Fig. 4, the
hydrolysis reaction of ACh (400 nM) catalyzed by AChE (4 nM)
was successfully monitored by MALDI-TOF MS in positive mode
using the Zn2(bim)4 nanosheets as the matrix. The reaction
mixture in the buffer of NH4HCO3 (10 mM) was spotted every 3
min. The substrate peak of ACh ion (m/z 146) gradually
decreased with the increase of time. The product peak for
choline (m/z 104) was clearly shown during the reaction. The
successful monitoring AChE activity with 2-D Zn2(bim)4
nanosheets on MALDI-TOF MS provides a platform for rapid
screening of inhibitors. It is worth noting that the presence of
75-kDa enzyme and the buffer of NH4HCO3 (10 mM) did not
interfere with the detection of the small molecules of interest.
These results demonstrated that the 2-D Zn2(bim)4 nanosheets
could be used as a versatile matrix to detect small molecules in
complex samples with coexistence of salts and macromolecules.
In conclusion, the stable 2-D Zn2(bim)4 nanosheets were
utilized as efficient matrix for MALDI-TOF MS analysis of amino
acids, nucleobases, neurotransmitters, hormones and pollutant
molecules. The clean background MS spectra and low missing
rates was obtained in dual-ion modes, which is superior to the
conventional CHCA and several MOF matrices. Stable and
reproducible MS spectra was obtained in both positive and
negative ion modes. The matrix could unusually afford 1000
mM of the salt concentrations for NaCl and NH4HCO3 and was
successfully employed in the monitoring of the activity of
acetylcholinesterase for the hydrolysis of neurotransmitter
acetylcholine.
