Figure 5.
Signal intensity of a 50- or 100-attomole injection of each of the three synthetic Stx1 analyte decapeptides (YNDDDTFTVK, YNDDDSFTVK, and YNDDDTFTAK), the ELFTNR or the ELYTTR peptides in human serum. Graphs show the MRM signal intensity derived from the y8 ion of the analyte decapeptides or the y4 ions for the other peptides from a (i) 50- or (ii) 100-attomole injection. The corresponding 15N-labeled analog peptides are normalized to a signal intensity of 500 (ii) to allow the signal from the analyte decapeptide to be viewed on the same plot.
