Mass Spectrometry Based Free Radical Induced Fragmentation Study of Chemically Modified Cysteine Containing Peptides
Modification of cysteine containing peptides by the thiol group of cysteine with radical precursors allows a simple and localized generation of radical species in the collision cell of mass spectrometer. The proof of principle and the analysis of the radical derived fragments of a set of different model peptides are described further in the manuscript as well as the importance and potential applications of the method.
