Calculate the Mass of a Protein From Mass Spectrometric M/Z Values Eleetrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESl-MS) of the polypeptide chain of myoglobin yielded a series of m/z peaks (similar to those shown in Figure 5.14 for aerolysin �.). two successive peaks had m/z values of 1304.7 and 1413.2, respectively. Calculate the mass of the myoglobin polypeptide chain from these data.
