	abstract = {Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are essential for proper function, as they regulate many aspects of a protein{\textquoteright}s activity and interaction with substrates. When analyzing modified peptides derived from such proteins by mass spectrometry, these modifications can dissociate, producing either a marker ion or neutral loss characteristic of the modification, which have conventionally been monitored with a precursor ion scan or neutral loss scan, respectively. Although powerful, both precursor ion scans and neutral loss scans can only screen for one particular modification at a time. This has led to the development of multiple neutral loss monitoring (MNM) for neutral losses and multiple precursor ion monitoring (MPM) for marker ions on electrospray instruments. Here, we report their implementation on a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) instrument as well as the inception of a novel scan strategy termed targeted multiple precursor ion monitoring WPM. This latter scan strategy has been developed on a MALDI tandem time-of-flight (TOF/TOF) mass spectrometer for the identification of multiple PTMs via their associated marker ions by manipulating certain components of the instrument, notably the timed ion selector and the delayed extraction source 2. Targeted MPM combined with a second approach, multiple neutral loss monitoring (MNM), is shown to be a successful approach in the identification of PTMs, identifying multiple modified peptides in a complex sample matrix.
