    Abstract:
    Two highly modified conotoxins from the mollusc Conus textile, epsilon-TxIX and Gla(1)-TxVI, were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and electrospray mass spectrometry and also by electrospray ionization tandem and triple mass spectrometry in combination with enzymatic cleavage and chemical modification reactions. The mass spectrometric studies allowed the confirmation of the sequence determined by Edman degradation and assignment of unidentified amino acid residues, among which bromotryptophan residues and an O-glycosylated threonine residue were observed. Methyl esterification was found necessary for the site-specific assignment of the Gla residues in the peptides.
