The backbone cleavages for three series of protonated N-benzoyl tripeptide ions were studied in a hybrid tandem mass spectrometer: (i) benzoyl-Gly-Gly-Xxx, where Xxx = Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Met, Glu, Pro and Trp, (ii) benzoyl-Gly-Xxx-Gly, where Xxx = Gly, Ala, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Met and Trp, and (iii) benzoyl-Xxx-Gly-Gly, where Xxx = Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Met, Pro and Trp. C-Terminal y-type ions and N-terminal a- and b-type ions were noted in all three cases. For benzoyl-Gly-Gly-Xxx, a linear relationship between log (y1/b2) and the proton affinity of the C-terminal amino acid substituents was found: as the proton affinity of the C-terminal residue increases, the fraction of y1 ion formation increases. A similar relationship was noted for the benzoyl-Xxx-Gly-Gly tripeptides between log (y2/b1) and the proton affinity of the N-terminal amino acid substituent: as the proton affinity of the N-terminal residue increases, the fraction of b1 ion formation increases. For the series benzoyl-Gly-Xxx-Gly, these relationships did not hold true. These observations point to similar reaction pathways throughout the benzoyl-Gly-Gly-Xxx series and also similar pathways throughout the benzoyl-Xxx-Gly-Gly, but pathways that are substituent dependent for benzoyl-Gly-Xxx-Gly. The increased correlation coefficients for benzoyl-Gly-Gly-Xxx and benzoyl-Xxx-Gly-Gly when compared with the free tripeptides, suggest that fewer interfering competitive reactions exist, as fewer possibilities for internal hydrogen bonding exist in the N-benzoyl derivatives versus the free compounds.
在一台混合串联质谱仪上,研究了三种系列的质子化N-苯甲酰三肽离子的骨架断裂:(i)苯甲酰-Gly-Gly-Xxx,其中Xxx = Gly、Ala、Val、Leu、Ile、Phe、Tyr、Met、Glu、Pro和Trp,(ii)苯甲酰-Gly-Xxx-Gly,其中Xxx = Gly、Ala、Leu、Phe、Tyr、Met和Trp,以及(iii)苯甲酰-Xxx-Gly-Gly,其中Xxx = Gly、Ala、Val、Leu、Ile、Phe、Tyr、Met、Pro和Trp。在所有三种情况下,都观察到了C端y型离子和N端a型及b型离子。对于苯甲酰-Gly-Gly-Xxx,发现log(y1/b2)与C端氨基酸取代基的质子亲和力之间存在线性关系:随着C端残基的质子亲和力增加,y1离子的形成分数增加。对于苯甲酰-Xxx-Gly-Gly三肽,log(y2/b1)与N端氨基酸取代基的质子亲和力之间存在类似的关系:随着N端残基的质子亲和力增加,b1离子的形成分数增加。对于苯甲酰-Gly-Xxx-Gly系列,这些关系并不成立。这些观察结果表明,在苯甲酰-Gly-Gly-Xxx系列和苯甲酰-Xxx-Gly-Gly系列中存在类似的反应途径,但对于苯甲酰-Gly-Xxx-Gly,途径依赖于取代基。与自由三肽相比,苯甲酰-Gly-Gly-Xxx和苯甲酰-Xxx-Gly-Gly的相关系数增加,表明存在的干扰竞争反应较少,因为在N-苯甲酰衍生物中内部氢键的可能性比自由化合物少。
