Mass spectrometric sequencing of linear peptides by product‐ion analysis in a reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer using matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization
Abstract
In matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) a large fraction of analyte ions undergo post‐source decay (PSD) during flight in the field‐free drift path. By means of a modified two‐stage reflectron, product ion time‐of‐flight spectra of medium‐sized linear peptides (up to 2800 u) were recorded, containing full sequence information. Precision, accuracy and mass resolution of fragment ions were almost as good as obtained in high‐energy collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) studies performed in four‐sector instruments. Instrumental sensitivity was better by at least one order of magnitude. In reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (RETOF‐MS) the cleavage pattern of PSD products is different from that obtained by high‐energy and low‐energy CAD. Activation mechanisms of PSD were found to be largely determined by collisional events (ion/neutral) occurring in the acceleration field during early plume expansion. Future potentials of PSD analysis after MALDI are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
