After collision with helium the peptide will break into characteristic fragments. The peptide bond is the weakest point, so the protein will break into two pieces. Expected fragments:. b-ions y-ions SLY K SL YK S LYK. Total 7 peaks. I. SLYK. LYK. K. YK. S. L. Y. m/z.

How to interprete MS-spectra? Strategy #1 1. Try to find the C-terminal amino acid. 2. Try to find the next peak of the y-ion series in the spectra 3. Read the spectra from the tail to the head Strategy #2 • Find the peptide peak or the highest peak MW of one series. • Find the next peak in the series. • When the sequence is done, try to figure out in which way to read it. Combined Strategy • Find the b2/a2 pair • Read the b-ion series as far as you can • Read the y-ion series. • Try to match them together

A, Overexpression and enhanced activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is often observed in human cancers. EGFR is a tyrosine phosphotransferase (kinase) and abnormal EGFR-kinase activity is related to poor prognosis. Upon binding of the ligand EGFR undergoes autophosphorylation (self phosphorylation), an important step in EGF signal transduction. Figure 1 shows the fragment spectra of the peptide (PDYQQDFFPK) generated from isolated EGFR. Please confirmthe predicted sequence and mark the phosphorylation site. Figure 1: Fragment spectrum. (m/z A=71, P=97, V=99, I,=113, N=114, D=115, M=131, H=137, F=147, K=129/147, Q=128, Y=163, phosphorylation = +80) B, A pharmaceutical company wants to produce inhibitors against EGFR-kinase for cancer therapy. Please explain briefly how mass spectrometry can help to identify an inhibitor compound.
