A deprotonated 2-imidazoline-4(5)-one product ion was observed as a major fragment in the collision-induced dissociation (CID) of several dipeptides containing serine at the C-terminal and an amino acid with an alkyl substituent at the N-terminal. This fragment becomes predominant at high collision energies. The same type of product ion was seen in the CID of cyclo(GlyGly). Labeling GlySer with O-18 suggests that the fragmentation may proceed through a symmetrical intermediate such as a deprotonated diketopiperazine. Density functional theory calculations of GlySer provided a possible mechanism for the fragmentation. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights’ reserved.
