Title	Kinetics and Mechanism for the Formation of b- and y-type Ions from Singly Protonated Peptides on a Microsecond Time Scale: The Arginine Mystery
Author	Yeon Ji Chung, So Hee Yoon, Myung Soo Kim*
Keywords	Oxazolone pathway, b-y Ions, RRKM, Arginine
Abstract	A kinetic model was built for the formation of b and y ions ? which are the main product ions generated from singly protonated peptides at low internal energy regime ? on a microsecond time scale based on the potential energy diagram along the oxazolone pathway reported previously. The rate constants were evaluated using the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory. Even though migration of the extra proton to an amide nitrogen is a prerequisite in the oxazolone mechanism, it was found highly unlikely when this proton was sequestered at an arginine side chain. Possibility of migration of a proton from other locations such as a carboxyl group is discussed.
