Factors Affecting the Fragmentation of Peptide Ions: Metal Cationization and Fragmentation Timescale (2012-10-19)The factors affecting peptide fragmentation have been extensively studied in the literature in order to better predict the fragment ion spectra of peptides and proteins. While there are countless influences to consider, ...

(2011-08-08)Copper ions (Cu⁺, Cu²⁺) play important roles in many biological processes (i.e., oxidation, dioxygen transport, and electron transfer); many of the functions in these processes result from copper ions interacting with ...
