The accurate mass of the monoisotopic peak for a peptide was measured using MALDI to be 804.068 Da, while the exact mass for the peptide was calculated to be 804.073 Da. Determine the mass error in ppm and briefly explain the significance of the mass error in enabling a scientist to identify the peptide.
