Abstract:

Unimolecular fragmentations of metastable ions [MH-CO2H2]+ in leucine (Leu) and isoleucine (Ile) were studied by electron impact (EI) ionization and fast atom bombardment (FAB) ionization. The different characteristic fragment ions resulted from the collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of [MH-CO2H2]+ ions in isomeric amino acids were observed. Deuterium labelling experiment was used to demonstrate the behaviour of the dissociation of [MH-CO2H2]+ion, and the possible fragment mechanisms involving intermediary ion/neutral complexes or proton-bound complexes were proposed and discussed.

Key words: Collision-induced dissociation, Ion/neutral complex, Leucine, Isoleucine
