Popis: | In tandem mass spectrometric peptide sequencing, simplifying the mass spectrum is often desirable. The b-series ions were distinguished from the y-series ions in the MALDI TOF-TOF spectra by incorporating a bromine-tag to the N-terminal amino group through rapid and selective acetylation using bromoacetic anhydride without blocking the lysine and tyrosine residues. The 51:49 ratio of Br-79 and Br-81 isotopes facilitated identification of ions carrying the tag. With the Br-tag in the b-series ions, N-terminal sequencing of tryptic peptides from hemoglobin as well as model peptides was straightforward. When the b-ions were low in intensity, ions without the Br-tag were identified as y-ions and used for sequencing. |
