Abstract

Comparison between the gas-phase fragmentation of odd-electron [M.sup.+]*, [[M + H].sup.2+]*, and [[M - 2H].sup.-]* ions of model peptides suggests that charge-remote radical-driven fragmentation pathways play an important role in the dissociation of odd-electron peptide ions. We have found that charge-remote processes are responsible for a variety of side-chain losses from the precursor ion and some backbone fragmentation. These fragmentation pathways most likely involve hydrogen abstraction by the radical site that initiates subsequent cleavages. These findings are generally relevant to our understanding of the fragmentation patterns of odd-electron peptide ions produced through various approaches including the capture of low-energy electrons, electron detachment, and electron transfer.
