Fragment
map of peptides identified with both NETD and AI-NETD.
Here, each row is a unique peptide and each subcolumn corresponds
a peptide backbone bond. The numbers in parentheses to the left show
peptide length in number of residues, and all peptides shown here
are z = −2. With NETD, a•- and x-type fragments decrease in number and intensity as precursor
charge density decreases (i.e., as peptide length increases). AI-NETD
maintains superior fragment ion generation even with decreasing precursor
charge density, greatly increasing peptide dissociation and sequence
coverage compared with NETD. This research was originally published
in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics. Riley, N. M.; Rush, M. J.
