Monoisotopic amino acid residue masses and immonium ion masses.

The designations of -, +, and ++ roughly indicate which immonium ions are most abundant. In the case of lysine, the immonium ion usually loses ammonia to give an ion at 84 u. There are a few other odd-ball amino acid fragments that have been left out of the list, but these are the main ones.
