(b) The molecular mass of myoglobin is ≈16950. The positive mode electrospray mass spectrum of deoxymyoglobin shows peaks at m/z 1413, 1304, 1212, 1131, 1060, 998, 942, 893, 848 and 808. Suggest assignments for the peaks and explain why the mass difference between successive peaks is not a constant value.
