Question
Chapter 18.5, Problem 3MI
Summary Introduction
In tandem mass spectrometry, the collection of protein fragments is run through the two mass spectrometers in a sequential manner. This forms the difference between the mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry. In this method, the first spectrometer separates the proteins and fragments which are to be fragmented further. Then, the second spectrometer determines the amino acid sequence of each of the smaller fragments on the basis of the molecular weight. Thus, this technique uses two mass analyzers that are combined in series in order to select the protein.

What is the fraction of the peptide that has the N-terminal amino group deprotonated at pH 9. Please show your answer as a percent of deprotonated N-terminal species relative to all (protonated and deprotonated) N-terminal species.
Can you show your calculations so I can understand your method of approach?
Assume you were given a mixture consisting of one molecule each of all possible sequences of a smallish protein of molecular weight 4800 daltons. If the average molecular weight of an amino acid is, say, 120 daltons, how much would the sample weigh? How big a container would you need to hold it?
