Abstract
The mass spectra of some amino acids have been studied using the field desorption method. All amino acids yield molecular or quasi‐molecular ions, even in the case of arginine and cystine, where these ions cannot be detected with the electron‐impact (EI) or chemical ionization (CI) methods. The fragmentation is reduced as compared to EI, CI and FI.Keywords
