| 摘要 |
Systems and methods described herein can provide for "top down" mass spectrometric analysis of proteins or peptides in a sample using ExD, in some aspects via direct infusion of the sample to the ion source without on-line LC separation, while deconvoluting the ambiguity in the ExD spectra generated by impure samples. For example, methods and systems in accordance with various aspects of the present teachings can utilize patterns in charge-reduced species following ExD to correlate the ExD fragments with their precursor ions in order to more confidently identify the precursor ion from which the detected product ions originated. |
