New types of imidazolium-based iodoacetamide tags were designed, synthesized and further exploited for cysteinyl-peptide analysis with superior labeling efficiency, high stability, improved ionization efficiency, and increased charge states by mass spectrometry. For the first time, the effects of these kinds of tags on the mass spectrometry performance of the derivatized peptides were investigated, which is of great importance to help us design more efficient tags for the analysis of peptides or proteins, especially for those with low abundance.
