Breaking up is hard to do : The dominating negative‐ion fragment formed by dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to amino acids or by their ionization through MALDI is [ M −H] − . Three different experimental techniques and molecular dynamics calculations are used to determine the site of hydrogen loss and which metastable decay pathways (for valine, see picture; blue nitrogen, red oxygen) dominate further decay.
