Characterization of α‐ and γ‐glutamyl dipeptides by negative ion collision‐induced dissociation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The low-energy CID mass spectra of the [M-H](-) ions of a variety of dipeptides containing glutamic acid have been obtained using cone-voltage collisional activation. Dipeptides with the gamma-linkage, H-Glu(Xxx-OH)-OH, are readily distinguished from those with the alpha-linkage, H-Glu-Xxx-OH, by the much more prominent elimination of H-Xxx-OH from the [M-H](-) ions of the former isomers, resulting in formation of m/z 128, presumably deprotonated pyroglutamic acid. Dipeptides with the reverse linkage, H-Xxx-Glu-OH, show distinctive fragmentation reactions of the [M-H](-) ions including enhanced elimination of CO(2) and formation of deprotonated glutamic acid. Exchange of the labile hydrogens for deuterium has shown that there is considerable interchange of C-bonded hydrogens with labile (N- and O-bonded) hydrogens prior to most fragmentation reactions. All dipeptides show loss of H(2)O from [M-H](-). MS(3) studies show that the [M-H-H(2)O](-) ion derived from H-Glu-Gly-OH has the structure of deprotonated pyroglutamylglycine while the [M-H-H(2)O](-) ions derived from H-Glu(Gly-OH)-OH and H-Gly-Glu-OH show a different fragmentation behaviour indicating distinct structures for the fragment ions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
