Checklist: Interpretation of MS/MS Spectra : 

Checklist: Interpretation of MS/MS Spectra Calculate the mass of the peptide compare mass of theoretical proposed peptide with measured peptide mass Inspect low m/z for the y1 ion m/z (y1) = 147 (K) or 175 (R) for tryptic peptides Inspect low m/z for the b2 ion often identified by b2/a2-ion pair (∆28 Th). m/z of b2 used to identify the yn-2-ion. Inspect low m/z for immonium ions may indicate presence of specific amino acids Inspect high m/z for the yn-1 ion indication of C-terminal amino acid from b2-ion

Slide 54: 

Extend y-ion series to lower m/z work from yn-2 ion assigning peaks separated by m/z equivalent to specific amino acids. Assign corresponding b-ions if found. Extend b-ion series to higher m/z work from b2-ion assigning peaks separated by m/z equivalent to specific amino acids. Assign corresponding y-ions if found. Reconcile amino acid content with spectrum data check amino acid content agrees with any immonium ions. Consider charge state of peptide - presence of His/Lys/Arg residues Attempt to identify all ions in the spectrum! look for loss of H2O (∆ 18) and NH3 (∆ 17), loss of SO2 from Metox (∆ 64) multiply charged ions and internal fragments. All major product ions should be identified in good spectra
