>We have synthesized a peptide which comes out to be 2 major peaks: The correct
>Mass and the -18 mass.
>
>The peptide does have an asp-gly which could go to succinimide, and then back
>to asp and isoasp.
>
>It also has several sers that can go to dehydroalanine and several tyrosines.
>Is it possible for tyrosine to go to dehydrophenylalanine? How common is it
>to get any one of these alternatives, and is there another alternative for -18
>mass?
>
>The -l0 peak seems to be pretty stable. Does anyone know how stable the above
>3 alternatives are? In other words, could we count on the concentration to be
>stable in an assay? On the sequencer?
