The free radical reaction cascade will continue until one of the following
occurs:
1.
The various energy losses in the reactions and in black body radiation
cool the system sufficiently that further rearrangments are impossible
2.
The free radical is eliminated leaving the charge containing peptide in
an even-electron state
3.
The free radical is stabilized at a site of low reactivity
Is the Free Radical Cascade
mechanism really correct?
1. FRC mechanism implies radical migration. Calculations suggest
radical will migrate to the alpha carbon. If so, deuterium labeling those
(non exchangeable) positions should cause the fragments to show D
scrambling
2. FRC mechanism implies that the radical intermediates are long lived (≈
microseconds or more). This can be tested by double resonance.
3. FRC mechanism implies radical migration. Addition of a radical trap
moiety to the peptide should radically change the fragmentation.

H/D Scrambling Results
• The initial radical does migrate to αcarbons
• The best mechanism supports a hydrogen
bonded dimer as the long-lived radical
intermediate

mechanism really correct?
1. FRC mechanism implies radical migration. Calculations suggest
radical will migrate to the alpha carbon. If so, deuterium labeling those
(non exchangeable) positions should cause the fragments to show D

Asparagine Deamidation
aspartic acid
asparagine
isoaspartic acid
or
β-aspartic acid
The cannonical mechanism of deamidation involves cyclization of asparagine
(Asn) to form the succinimide intermediate with loss of ammonium, followed by
hydration at either amide bond to form a mixture of aspartic (Asp) and
isoaspartic (isoAsp) acids. Deamidation is irreversible under physiological
conditions, but the isomerization of the products occurs at a relatively slow rate.

COOH
Deamidated Tryptic Peptide of Cytochrome C
Asn31 of Cytochrome C is not exposed to the solvent and cannot
deamidate in the proteins native state.
The tryptic peptide 28TGPNLHGLFGR38 was found in the digest of Cyt. C.
The digest was incubated for 2 weeks at 37°C and pH 11 (20mM CAPS
titrated w/ NH4OH) to fully deamidate Asn31.
The peptide (cleaned w/ POROS) was then isolated and subjected to ECD.

• How does ECD work? What fragments do
you expect (mostly) from proteins and
peptides?
• Why is it important to track the position of
the radical?
• How can ECD be used to differentiate
isomeric amino acids (2 examples)?
• Why do ECD rather than CAD?
