✦ Synopsis
A fast atom bombardment/collisional activation/linked-scan at constant B/E (tandem mass spectrometric) method is described which can distinguish between a-and basparty1 and a-and y-glutamyl underivatized peptides. The method is based upon differences in loss of CO from aspartyl or glutamyl B-fragment ions (I,) in these isomers which are rationalized from the stability of the resultant A-fragment ions (I,). It was observed that the ratio of I, :I, which was used in this determination was dependent upon the collision cell pressure. The higher the collision cell pressure, the larger the difference between the I, : I, ratios for these linkages.

In this paper, we have shown that it is possible to differentiate an aspartic acid residue from its p-aspartic acid isomer in dipeptides according to the characteristic fragmentation pathways, i.e. specific immonium ion formation and cleavages involving side-chain atoms.
