Electron capture dissociation (ECD) has recently been shown in some cases to produce abundant N-terminal b-ion peptide fragments. These product ions are usually only observed when activation occurs via vibrational excitation as in collision-induced dissociation (CID). Here, we show that occurrence of b-ions in the ECD spectra of synthetic peptides are correlated with low gas-phase basicity and that the observed b-ion fragments are N-terminal products. Furthermore, all ECD spectra containing b-ions also had abundant losses of hydrogen and ammonia from the charge-reduced species. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
