The use of 5‐nitrosalicylic acid (5‐NSA) as a matrix for in‐source decay (ISD) of peptides during matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is described herein. Mechanistically, the decay process is initiated by a hydrogen abstraction from a peptide backbone amide nitrogen by 5‐NSA. Hydrogen abstraction results in formation of an oxidized peptide containing a radical amide nitrogen. Subsequently, the Cα–C bond N‐terminal to the peptide bond is cleaved to form ana·/xfragment pair. The Cα–C bonds C‐terminal to Gly residues were less susceptible to cleavage than were those of other residues. Cα–C bonds N‐terminal to Pro and Sar residues were not cleaved by the aforementioned mechanism; instead, after hydrogen abstraction from a Pro or Sar Cα–H bond, the peptide bond N‐terminal to the Pro was cleaved yieldingb‐ andy‐series ions. We also show that fragments produced by MALDI 5‐NSA‐induced ISD were formed independently of the ionization process. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
