Abstract
The impact of the conversion of carboxylates in peptides to basic or fixed charge sites on the outcome of electron transfer dissociation (ETD) is evaluated with respect to ETD efficiency and the number of diagnostic sequence ions. Four reagents, including benzylamine (BA), 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP), carboxymethyl trimethylammonium chloride hydrazide (GT), and (2-aminoethyl)trimethylammonium chloride hydrochloride (AETMA), were used for the carboxylate derivatization, with the first two replacing the acidic carboxylate groups with basic functionalities and the latter two introducing fixed charge sites. The ETD efficiencies and Xcorr scores were compared for both nonderivatized and derivatized tryptic and Glu-C peptides from cytochrome
