Negative electron-transfer dissociation (NETD) is an ion/ion reaction in which an electron from an anionic specie is transferred to cationic reagent.[1] Following this transfer event, the electron deficient anion undergoes internal rearrangement and fragments. NETD is the ion/ion analogue of electron-detachment dissociation (EDD).
NETD is compatible with fragmenting peptide and proteins along the backbone at the Cα-C bond. The resulting fragments are usually a•- and x-type product ions.
