limited cleavage of the disulfide bonds by ECD. Cleavage of all
four S-S bonds in lysozyme would require the capture of at least
four electrons. We did record up to four consecutive electron
capture events taking place for the 10+ charge state of nitrated
lysozyme, which was indicated by the presence of (M + 10H)6+
charge-reduced ions in the ECD mass spectra. There is a
possibility that both the disulfide bond and backbone cleavages
occurred, but the resulting ECD fragments were held together
by noncovalent interactions in the protein. However post-ECD
IR activation, which we had previously used to release ECD
fragments from the charge-reduced ions,40 did not produce new
fragments. Therefore we conclude that multiple disulfide bond
