Results are presented showing the ability to obtain C-terminal sequence information from peptides by multiple stages of mass spectrometry. Under typical low-energy collision-induced dissociation conditions of quadrupole ion trap and ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers, lithium- and sodium-cationized peptides dissociate predominantly by reaction at the C-terminal peptide bond or an adjacent bond. For the majority of cases studied, the dominant reaction is a rearrangement process that results in the loss of the C-terminal residue and formation of a product ion that is one amino acid shorter than the original peptide ion. Using the multistage MS/MS capabilities of quadrupole ion trap and ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers, a subsequent stage of MS/MS can be performed to determine the identity of the new C-terminal residue. Up to eight stage of MS/MS have been performed with both quadrupole ion trap and ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers. In general, the same dissociation pathways are observed with both instruments, although occasionally there are significant differences in the branching ratios of competing pathways.
