Figure 6.
Shown are expanded regions of charge-deconvoluted UVPD mass spectra of (A) monoubiquitin (based on UVPD of the 10+ precursor) and (B) unmodified Sic60-DHFR (based on UVPD of the 23+ precursor) demonstrating little ion overlap. Panels (C) and (D) show comparisons of the expanded isotopic envelopes of the a47 ion from monoubiquitin and the combination of the Y47 and y47 ions from Sic60-DHFR (expanded peaks are shaded in gray in panels (A) and (B)). The majority of matched ions were matched at <2 ppm and none were matched at >10 ppm. For reference, the mass difference shown between two adjacent peaks in panels (C) and (D) is >50 ppm, thus confirming the ability to readily differentiate ubiquitin-derived and DHFR-derived ions.
