"Regarding resolution of mass spectrometers and various ways mass of peptides can be represented, which is or are true? "     "A larger peptides will have a smaller difference between the monoisotopic and average masses, compared to smaller peptides, because the contribution of 13C is greater. "     Higher resolution allows investigators to distinguish between monoisotopic masses and other masses of otherwise identical peptides.     "Average mass size is always smaller than monoisotopic mass, because 13C and 15N contribute to monoisotopic mass. "     "Monoisotopic mass is calculated as if there are no heavy isotopes within the peptide, and so is always smaller than the average observed mass."
