Abstract: Cf-plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS) was used to study the fragmentation of ribonuclease A, papain and proteinase K, all of which are within the 13- to 29-kDa mass range. The results showed that the plasma desorption process could induce efficient, sequence-specific fragmentation of large, native proteins. The procedure could be used as a starting step in the sequence determination of large protein molecules.
