| Abstract | We document the systematics of collision-induced dissociation of singly charged peptide ions in a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) ion trap mass spectrometer. We show that singly charged peptide ions with m/z ratios extending to 3500 can be effectively fragmented using a newly devised excitation scheme, termed red shifted off-resonance large amplitude excitation (RSORLAE), and classify the dominant features of the resulting collision-induced dissociation spectra as follows. (1) Peptides ions with a m/zvalue of,1500 can be effectively fragmented independent of their amino acid composition. (2) Peptides ions with m/z , 3000 that contain lysine but not arginine can be extensively fragmented. (3) Arginine-containing peptide ions undergo highly preferential fragmentation at the C-termini of aspartic/glutamic acid residues. (4) Peptide ions containing a C-terminal lysine residue as well as one or more arginine residues readily rearrange to lose the terminal lysine. (5) Proline-containing peptide ions fragment preferentially at the N-termini of the proline residues. These systematics are helpful for the verification of peptide primary structures and for formulating efficient strategies for protein identification using tandem MALDI ion trap mass spectrometric data.
