MS ADP-ribosylation of proteins

Hello,

I want to identify the site of ADP-ribosylation in a certain protein by
LC-MS/MS. We have got a Q-TOF2 hybrid MS. The amino acid to be
ADP-ribosylated should be an arginine. Is there anyone around having
experience with identification of ADP-ribosylated peptides by LC-MS?
Are there techniques to enrich the ribosylated peptide (like IMAC for
phosphopeptides) or are there known neutral losses which can be used
(like 98 for phosphoserine/phosphothreonine) to screen for the peptide?
Is the ADP-ribose stable during fragmentation?
I know this are a lot of questions but till know I was not successful in
finding literature concerning this topic.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Markus
