1 Introduction to Peptide equencing Quadrupole Ion Traps tructural Biophysics Course December 3, /8/14 Introduction to Peptide equencing - athan Yates 1

2 Why are ion traps used to sequence peptides? ensitive tandem mass spectrometers Improved ion statistics in MM mode compared to M due to the storage and isolation of a single parent m/z igh CID efficiency due to the continuous and mass selective excitation of the parent Rapid scan rate allows several full scan M/M spectra to be acquired each second Data-dependent acquisition of tandem M spectra Integration with automated sequencing tools EQUET, Mascot, Pepsea, GPM, Peptide Prophet, etc 12/8/14 Introduction to Peptide equencing - athan Yates 2

28 Fragment Ion omenclature Immonium Ions An internal fragment with just a single side chain formed by a combination of a type and y type cleavage is called an immonium ion. These ions are labelled with the 1 letter code for the corresponding amino acid. Internal Cleavage Ions Double backbone cleavage gives rise to internal fragments. Usually, these are formed by a combination of b type and y type cleavage to produce the illustrated structure, an amino-acylium ion. ometimes, internal cleavage ions can be formed by a combination of a type and y type cleavage, an amino-immonium ion. Internal fragments are labeled with their 1 letter amino acid code. 12/8/14 Introduction to Peptide equencing - athan Yates 28
