Figure 4

Mass spectrometry analysis. Mass spectrometry analysis of LL-37 (panel A) and CSA-13 (panel B) in PBS (curve 1) low pH buffer (curve 2) and low pH buffer with presence of pepsin (curve 3). The total ion chromatogram (TIC) is presented for each sample condition with an inset mass-to-charge (m/z) spectra showing intensity for the boxed TIC peaks. The molecular weight of intact LL-37 is 4494, which can be observed with multiple charges (m/z = 4 MW = 1124, m/z = 5 MW = 900, etc) in positive ion mode. The molecular weight of CSA13 is 678, which can be observed directly and with multiple charges. Data from one experiment are shown.
