Figure 3.
Fig. 3. [SeMet]tHisF is completely labelled with SeMet. Electrospray mass spectra of tHisF (A) and [SeMet]tHisF (B) were obtained on a TSQ7000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The labelled peaks indicate the charge states of measured m/z values of the two proteins. [M+H]^+ indicates the mass of the two proteins (27 723.5±3.1 Da for tHisF and 27 959±3.6 Da for [SeMet]tHisF) as obtained after deconvolution of the measured m/z values. The mass difference of 236 Da shows that all five methionine residues in tHisF are completely replaced by SeMet in [SeMet]tHisF.
