Probe electrospray ionization (PESI) ionizes metabolites by applying a voltage to a probe with a sample attached. Since PESI introduces only a small volume of solution, it minimizes contamination of the mass spectrometer, making it suitable for high-throughput analysis with minimal sample preparation. This study applied PESI-MS to measure metabolite levels in an enzyme reaction system in vitro containing proteins, buffers, and salts. An engineered glycolysis enzyme mixture was used for the reaction. PESI-QTOF/MS analysis showed that ethanol produced stable signal intensity, and ammonium acetate or ammonium formate improved ATP and NADPH ionization. Time-course analysis of eight metabolites in non-oxidative glycolysis showed expected trends, such as increasing ATP and decreasing ADP. The results were consistent with ion-pair LC-ESI-MS, confirming the quantitative capability of PESI-QTOF/MS.
