✦ Synopsis


The characteristic coUisionLinduced dissociations of (M -HI-ions of dipeptides and tripeptides involve proton transfer to the carboxylate centre as a prelude to fragmentation. Dipeptides show the process + NH,C(R')=C=O (R = H or alkyl) while tripeptides show the analogous processes NH,CH(R')CONHCH(RZ)CONHCH(R3)C0,--+ NH,CH(R')CONHC(RZ)CONHCH(R3)C0,H -+ -NHCH(R3)C0,H + NH,CH(R')CONHC(R2)=C=0 and NH,CH(R')CONHCH(R')-CONHCH(R3)C0,-+ NH,C(R')CONHCH(RZ)CONHCH(R3)C0,H -+ -NHCH(R3)CONHCH(R3)COzH + NH,C(R')=C=O. These fragmentations provide ready identification of the peptide. NH~CH(R')CONHCH(R,)CO, --, NH,C(R~)CONHCH(R~)CO,H -+ -NHCH(R~)CO,H
