MS2 determination of the site of initial radical formation in the IgG1. The IgG1 was incubated at 25 °C in the presence of H2O2 (20 mm) and DMPO (100 mm) at pH 5.2. The sample was buffer-exchanged, digested with Lys-C, and analyzed by RP-HPLC-MS2. Hinge peptide H12 (2,789 Da, corresponding to the mass with one Cys modified by IAA) was found modified by the DMPO adduct (2,902 Da). The MS2 spectrum of the 1,451.98-Da ion (2+) showed the DMPO adduct to be located at Cys231. For clarity, not all identified fragment ions are labeled.
