Their results demonstrate that delaying the fragmentation of peptides bearing reporter ions, using optimal settings, can result in an increase in both identification and quantifiable peptides. A surprise (to me) side effect is that they show a marked decrease in coisolation. This is an extremely interesting proposal since other methods for reducing the coisolation of peptides in iTRAQ experiments cause a large increase in cycle time, where this one does not.
