Partial 18 O-labeling of peptides has been applied to post-source decay experiments in a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The ions which originate from the carboxyl terminus of a peptide partially retain 18 O atoms which have readily been incorporated int

β¦ Synopsis
The PSD spectra of some isomeric oligosaccharides are investigated in order to study the fragmentation mechanisms. Results show that intense peaks are formed from one or more glycosidic linkage cleavages, while ring fragmentation produces very weak signals. Two analytical applications of post source decay (PSD) to the structural analysis of oligosaccharides are also illustrated: the discrimination of isomeric structures and the identification of a real unknown by combining PSD data with the linkage analysis results.
