Previously, we described implementation of a front-end ETD (electron transfer dissociation) source for an Orbitrap instrument [1]. This source facilitates multiple fills of the C-trap with product ions from ETD of intact proteins prior to mass analysis. The result is a dramatic enhancement of the observed ion current without the need for time consuming averaging of data from multiple mass measurements. Here we show that ion-ion proton transfer (IIPT) reactions can be used to simplify ETD spectra and to disperse fragment ions over the entire mass range in a controlled manner. We also show that protein derivatization can be employed to selectively enhance the sequence information observed at the N- and C-termini of a protein. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
