高分解能タンデム飛行時間型質量分析装置(TOF/TOF)でのジスルフィド含有プロトン化ペプチドの高エネルギー電子移動解離(HE-ETD)
Disulfide linkages in polypeptides are post-translational modifications that play a pivotal role in maintaining higher order structure and biological functions. In this work, high-energy electron transfer dissociation (HE-ETD) using Cs targets was applied to doubly protonated disulfide linked polypeptides, such as vasopressin and vasotocin. From both cleavage of peptide bond and S-S bond, it was found that the peptide sequence having S-S bond was able to be completely determined by HE-ETD spectra. C-S bond of the cysteine residue in the central part cleaved easier than that in the N-terminal.
