QUESTION ID:10

Highly purified peptides Pl, P2 and P3 were subjected to MALDI mass spectral analysis. The following observations were made: P1: Showed a m/z of 16 more than the expected value. P2: Showed a m/z of 80 more than the expected value. MS/MS spectra of the peptide resulted in a precursor ion with m/z 98 less than the expected m/z. P3: Showed a m/z that was double the expected value. [Note: z = + 1 for all the mass spectra.]
