The low energy collision-induced dissociation of fixed-charge derivatives [tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium] of peptides was investigated using an electrospray ion trap mass spectrometer. The fixed charge directed the fragmentation pattern and generated solely N-terminal fragments with minima

β¦ Synopsis
De novo peptide sequencing in an ion trap mass spectrometer coupled on-line with a capillary HPLC using 18O labeling provides a viable alternative to the method using the combination of nanospray, 18 O labeling and a quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Seven to sixteen amino acid residues can be sequenced from the liquid chromatography/randem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) spectra. This approach combines the benefit of capillary LC and the high sensitivity of the ion trap operated in the MS/MS mode. The wide availability of the LCQ mass spectrometer makes this approach readily adaptable to the biological mass spectrometry community.
