Proposed MALDI mechanisms:<br />

1. Primary ionization mechanisms<br />

i. Multiphoton ionization<br />

ii. Energy pooling and multicenter mo<strong>de</strong>ls<br />

iii. Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT)<br />

iv. Disproportionation reactions<br />

v. Desorption of pre-formed ions<br />

vi. Thermal ionization<br />

2. Secondary ionization mechanisms<br />

i. Gas-phase proton transfer<br />

ii. Gas-phase cationization<br />

iii. Electron transfer<br />

MALDI is likely a combination of many of these<br />
