6.5 Using the
Ion Fragmentation Calculator
Description The Ion Fragmentation calculator generates a list of possible
fragment masses for a peptide sequence you enter. It can
calculate the masses for:
• Multiply charged fragments you may see in Mariner
data.
• PSD fragments you may see in Voyager data.
If the calculated fragments are present in the current data file,
you can label fragments.
The calculator includes a list of defined amino acids and
residues that you can add to as needed.
