Abstract

Here we investigate the effect of S-dipalmitoylation on the electron capture dissociation (ECD) behavior of peptides. The ECD and collision induced dissociation (CID) of peptides modified by covalent attachment of [(RS)-2,3-di(palmitoyloxy)-propyl] (PAM2) group to cysteine residues [C(PAM2)LEYDTGFK and RPPGC(PAM2)SPFK] were examined. The results suggest that ECD of S-dipalmitoylated peptides can provide both primary sequence information and structural information regarding the modification. The structural information provided by CID is complementary to that provided by ECD.
