Abstract

Some synthetically obtained linear and cyclic phosphopeptides of low molecular weight have been studied by fast-atom bombardment and tandem mass spectrometry to verify the position of the phosphate group in these compounds. Based upon the occurrence/non-occurrence of loss of phosphoric acid from low abundance fragment ions induced by low- and high-energy collisions with target gases, it is shown that the position of the phosphate group in the phosphopeptides studied can be determined unequivocally.
