β¦ Synopsis
Oligopeptides subjected to partial enzyme hydrolysis provide mixtures of sub-peptides which optimize amino acid sequence determination by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The digestion mixture can be sampled directly; there is no interference from the enzyme. Complete sequences were obtained from spectra recorded on 1-5 nmol samples after digestion at 37OC for times ranging from 0.14.0 h. The qualitative results of attack by two exopeptidases on three oligopeptides are discussed.
Abbreviations: CPY = carboxy peptidase Y; LAP-M = microsomal leucine aminopeptidase.

The use of explosives as matrices, a principle used previously in plasma desorption mass spectrometry, was applied to fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS). Ternary matrices were prepared by the addition of picric acid and related compounds to the binary matrix routinely used for the analy
