Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry has been successfully applied to the analysis of partially modified retro-inverso peptide isomers. The spectra are characterized by abundant protonated molecular ions and also by sequence ions due to fragmentation of the inverted bonds. Unambiguous information, as to the nature and the position in the backbone of the amino acids involved in the partial modification of the structure, are given by using a combination of FAB mass spectrometry and partial, selective acid hydrolysis, without separation of the resulting peptide mixtures.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
