Abstract:

The Effects of different target gases on the intensities of the undecapeptide physalaemin during collision-induced dissociation CID has been determined to be target mass dependent. The data are consistent to what is predicted by the impulsive theory of energy transfer rather than that of the electronic energy transfer mechanism which is generally accepted.
