a

Masses implied from maximum entropy deconvolution of measured spectra.

b

Masses were calculated based on protein sequences without an N-terminal methionine. All differences between measured and expected masses are within experimental error.

c

Corresponding to the observed protein masses.

d

Acyl denotes a mass shift corresponding to reaction of an intact DBO molecule. A chemical scheme depicting the assigned acyl, acyl-80, and acyl-98 species is displayed in Fig. 5A.
