Antibody peptide mapping using the new Agilent ExD cell

Enhanced antibody analysis using electron capture dissociation (ECD) allows for precise glycan localization in low-abundance glycopeptides. This study compares the fragmentation of trastuzumab tryptic digests using ECD and collision-induced dissociation (CID). While CID generates abundant glycan HexNAc ions at 204 m/z, ECD preserves the labile glycan group, enabling accurate site localization.
