The product which reach detector last is Lys and Arg. The net charge of ESI TOF MS is positive ion, in reaction with trypsin and V8 protease it contains a carboxylic acid group, the a-amino group, and a second amino group attached to the side chain are deprotonated first. Carboxyl side of basic Amino Acids Lys & Arg is the end product .In a very acidic solution, pH=2, all of these groups are protonated. Therefore the overall net charge of the peptide is positive, the peptide is considered basic.
6. a. If the oligopeptide AFVRWGTHLESKLVMSLDIHLRF were cleaved completely by reaction with trypsin and V8 protease...
