Abstract

The complex of phosphoamino acid with metal ions was prepared by mixing both solutions and analyzed using ESI MS/MS technique. In this study, O-phospho-L-serine and O-phospho-L-tyrosine were used as phosphoamino acids and single charged metal ions such as Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+ and Ag+ were used to study the dissociation patterns when combined with phosphoamino acid. The complexes were successfully fragmented in mass spectra using ESI MS/MS technique and the fragmentation products were studied and the dissociation patterns were proposed.
