Transnitrosylation products of the dipeptide cysteinyl-cysteine: An examination by tandem mass spectrometry and density functional theory

The fragmentation pathways of protonated mono-and di-nitrosylated derivatives from the dipeptide Cys-Cys obtained by electrospray were examined. Protonated mononitrosylated dipeptide upon loss of NO formed a radical cation, which in turn shows two fragment ions, one from the loss of HS and the other...

description The fragmentation pathways of protonated mono-and di-nitrosylated derivatives from the dipeptide Cys-Cys obtained by electrospray were examined.
