Three basic hexapeptides which have two adjacent arginyl residues were studied by field desorption mass spectrometry. At low emitter temperature singly and doubly charged pseudomolecular ions [M + 1] + and [M + 2] 2+ were observed. At higher temperature, these peptides gave a relatively complex fragmentation pattern which can be explained as resulting from preferential cleavages involving the Arg‐Arg sequence. A mechanistic interpretation is proposed for this type of fragmentation.
