Unequivocal structure assignment of C- versus N-alkylated amino acids using fast atom bombardment/tandem mass spectrometry.
Structure assignment of the isomeric immonium ions 5 and 6, generated via FAB from N-isobutyl glycine and N-methyl valine, can be achieved by their collision induced dissociation characteristics.
