Abstract

In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) was applied to the TEMPO-assisted FRIPS for the first time. We found that 3-HPA is the optimal matrix for the analysis of p-TEMPO-Bz-Sc-peptides, which gives minimal precursor fragmentations. MALDI-TOF/TOF experiments on p-TEMPO-Bz-Sc-peptides yielded mainly [an+H]+, [zn+H]+, and [yn]+-type products, indicating that radical-driven peptide fragmentation occurs in MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS.
