Accurate-mass spectra
of dimers and trimers from digestion of the
peptidoglycan of FemA cells grown in the pulse-labeling experiment
of Figure 6. The dimers contain 0, 1, or 2
labeled lysines (increasing m/z,
left to right), and the trimers, 0, 1, 2, or 3 labeled lysines (left
to right), respectively. Each labeled lysine results in a m/z mass shift of 8/2 = 4 units for dimers,
and 8/3 = 2.67 units for trimers.
