The main goal of the present study is to develop a method to recognize and identify endogenous intrachain disulfide bonded peptide, which are rarely sequenced in current peptidomics studies. In order to achieve highly efficient detection of these peptides in a neuropeptidome analysis, we alkylated the peptides, mined the raw mass spectrometry data, and then recognized the candidates of untreated...
