“…Ions at m/z 110, 125, 134, and 150 can be assigned for base anions of C, T, A ,and G, respectively, while single nucleotides can be found having lost a water molecule (e.g., m/z 303 for T). When the phosphodiester backbone is cleaved twice, the so-called internal fragments (e.g., 481 for a TT subsequence) are formed, giving information about the presence of neighbor residues [16]. In our case, the 5= end a-B ion series gives information about the presence of the sulfhydryl group.…”
