This brief overview addresses the topic that was presented in the Thomson Medal Award session at the 19th International Mass Spectrometry Conference in Kyoto, Japan. Mass spectrometry of cation-radicals has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance thanks to the development of new methods for electron attachment to multiply charged peptide ions. The charge-reduced ions that are odd-electron species exhibit interesting reactivity that is useful for peptide and protein sequencing. The paper briefly reviews the fundamental aspects of the formation, energetics, and backbone dissociations of peptide cation-radicals.
本简要概述涉及在日本京都举行的第19届国际质谱会议上汤姆森奖章颁奖环节所提出的主题。由于用于附着电子到多电荷肽离子的新方法的发展,阳离子自由基的质谱分析迎来了显著的复兴。电荷减少的离子作为奇电子物种表现出有趣的反应活性,这对肽和蛋白质测序很有用。本文简要回顾了肽阳离子自由基的形成、能量学和主链解离的基本方面。
