What are the axes of a mass spectrum plot?
What do b ions and y ions represent in mass spectrometry?
Why are y ions typically more prominent in a mass spectrum than b ions?
How does the fragmentation of a peptide at a single bond help in determining the sequence of amino acids?
If a mass spectrum shows peaks at m/z 450 and m/z 550, what is the mass of the amino acid residue between these peaks?
In which direction should a mass spectrum be read to determine the protein sequence when analyzing y ions?
Why are y ions preferred over b ions for analysis in a real mass spectrum?
