The molecular ion region in the mass spectrum of a large molecule, such as a protein, consists of a cluster of peaks differing by 1 Da. This pattern occurs because a molecule with many atoms has a high probability of containing one or several atoms of 13 C, 15N, 180, 2H and 34 S. The probability of finding a molecule with only 12C, 14N, 160, 'H and 32S may be so small that the nominal molecular ion is not observed. The electrospray mass spectrum of the rat protein interleukin-8 consists of a series of clusters of peaks arising from intact molecular ions with different charge. One cluster has peaks at m/z 1961.12, 1961.35, 1961.63, 1961.88, 1962.12 (tallest peak), 1962.36, 1962.60, 1962.87, 1963.10, 1963.34, 1963.59,1963.85, and 1964.09. These peaks correspond to isotopic ions differing by 1 Da. From the observed peak separation, find the charge of the ions in this cluster. Z=

4. Halogenated compounds are particularly easy to identify by their mass spectra because chlorine and bromine occur naturally as mixtures of two abundant isotopes. Chlorine occurs as "CI (75.8%) and "CI (24.2%). Ignore the presence of "C isotopes. For the compound, C,H,Cl;: a) At what masses do the molecular ions occur? b)What are the percentages of cach molecular ion?
Bromine has two naturally occuring isotopes, Br-79 and Br-81, approximately 50% of each. Bromomethane will contain approximately 50% Br-79 and 50% Br-81. The mass spectrum peak for methane containing Br-79 will be referred to as the M+ (molecular ion) peak, and the peak for Br-81 will be called the M+2 peak, as Br-81 weighs two more amu than Br-79. What will be the locations of the two bromomethane peaks on the mass spectrum and what will be the approximate ratio of their heights?
