Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The negative-ions of N-phosphoryl amino acids were studied by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). The negative-ion ESI-MS/MS of N-phosphoryl amino acids showed characteristic fragmentation patterns different from those observed in the corresponding positive-ion ESI-MS/MS and negative-ion fast-atom bombardment mass spectra. For negative-ion ESI-MS/MS, a unique fragmentation from the N-terminal of N-phosphoryl amino acids or peptides containing a free beta-OH or CO(2)H group was observed to yield the characteristic fragment ion (RO)(2)P(O)O(-). The ease of the rearrangement depended on the position of the hydroxyl group in amino acids or peptides, and the N --> O rearrangement mechanism was proposed to involve the participation of the hydroxyl group. From previous solution-phase experiments and theoretical calculations, it was found that the beta-OH group was more active than gamma-OH, and the corresponding difference in negative-ion ESI-MS/MS was consistent with those previous findings.
