Among these sequence ions, a, b and y-ions are the most common ion types, especially in the low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometers, since the peptide amide bond (CO-NH) is the most vulnerable and the loss of CO from b-ions.

Feb 1, 2016 · The b fragment peaks are labeled from the amino to the carboxyl terminus. The fragment containing only the amino terminal amino acid is termed b 1. The fragment containing the first two amino terminal amino acids is termed the b 2 ion, and so forth.

Aug 29, 2023 · Fragment ions are named based on the bond cleaved and the location of the charge on the resulting fragments. CID most commonly produces b and y ions, which result from cleavage of the peptide bond with the charged fragment occurring on the N- or C-terminal fragment, respectively.

Infrared spectra of anionic b-type fragments generated by collision induced dissociation (CID) from deprotonated peptides are reported. Spectra of the b 2 fragments of deprotonated AlaAlaAla and AlaTyrAla have been recorded over the 800–1800 cm –1 spectral range by multiple-photon dissociation (MPD) spectroscopy using an FTICR mass ...

As b-type fragments are structurally less stable than y ions, they have a lower rate of survival than y ions upon these additional activation steps [Lau et al., 2009]. As a result, large b ions generally fragment further to form smaller b ions, internal, and immonium ions.

For insulin-B chain, all series of a-, b-, y-, c- and z-ions, as well as a number of w- and d-ions, are detected simultaneously in a single mass spectrum covering the full 30 amino acid sequence. The analysis of native lysozyme results in fragment ions that contain free Cys-residues, thus demonstrating the reducing nature of the matrix.

th titheoretic b-and y-ibdions are observe d • Besides b- and y-ions, other types of fragmentation can occur to form a n and x n ions, as well as also losing CO, NH 3 and H 2O groups • Internal cleavage reactions can occur at acidic (Asp - Glu) residue sites S. Barnes & M. Renfrow 1/14/11

• “a”, “b”, “y” type sequencing ions • internal fragments, immonium ions • Important for sequencing • amino acid determined from mass between peaks in spectrum • “y” ions series • “b” ions series • immonium ions (identify amino acids in the peptide) • “a” ions (confirm “b” ion after a …

Nov 22, 2011 · The possibility of a macrocyclic structure for b-type ions has been recently proposed. In this study, we have undertaken investigations of linear protonated YAGFL-NH2, N-acetylated-YAGFL-NH2, and cyclo-(YAGFL) peptides and their fragments using a combination of ion mobility (IM) separation and mass spectrometry.

Protonation of the backbone amide is required for the production of b- or y-type fragment ions, and cleavages that require protonation are called “charge promoted” fragmentations.
