The formation of a peptide fragment ion [c + 2H] was examined using ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization in-source decay mass spectrometry (UV/MALDI-ISD MS). Unusually, an ISD experiment with a hydrogen-abstracting oxidative matrix 4-nitro-1-naphthol (4,1-NNL) resulted in a [c + 2H] ion when the analyte peptides contained serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), and/or cysteine (Cys) residues, although the ISD with 4,1-NNL merely resulted in [a] and [d] ions. The [c + 2H] ion observed could be rationalized through intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), like a Type-II reaction via a seven-membered conformation involving intramolecular hydrogen bonding (HB) between the active hydrogens (-OH and -SH) of the Ser/Thr/Cys residues and the backbone carbonyl oxygen at the adjacent amino (N)-terminal side residue.

Irreversible protein footprinting is a mass spectrometry-based approach in which solvent-accessible sites of a protein are modified to assess high-order protein structure. Structural insights can be gained by determining the position and extents of modification. The usual approach to obtain the "footprint" is to analyze the protein through bottom-up LC-MS/MS.

Disulfide bond rearrangement is a common occurrence during protein analysis or treatment. A convenient and rapid method has been developed to investigate heat-induced disulfide rearrangement of lactoglobulin using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-in-source decay (MALDI-ISD) technology. By analyzing heated lactoglobulin in reflectron and linear mode, we demonstrated that cysteines C66 and C160 exist as free residues other than linked ones in some protein isomers.

Trastuzumab is known to be heterogeneous in terms of charge. Stressing trastuzumab under physiological conditions (pH 7.4 and 37 °C) increases charge heterogeneity further.
