Mass spectrum. Electron ionization mass spectrum of toluene [1]. Note parent peak corresponding to molecular mass M = 92 (C 7 H 8+) and highest peak at M-1 = 91 (C 7 H 7+, quasi-stable tropylium cation). A mass spectrum is a histogram plot of intensity vs. mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) in a chemical sample, [1] usually acquired using an instrument ...
Appearance. Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are presented as a mass spectrum, a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. Mass spectrometry is used in many different fields and is applied to pure samples as well as complex mixtures.
An infrared spectroscopy correlation table (or table of infrared absorption frequencies) is a list of absorption peaks and frequencies, typically reported in wavenumber, for common types of molecular bonds and functional groups. [ 1 ][ 2 ] In physical and analytical chemistry, infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is a technique used to ...
Spectrum (physical sciences) Diagram illustrating the electromagnetic spectrum. In the physical sciences, the term spectrum was introduced first into optics by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, referring to the range of colors observed when white light was dispersed through a prism. [1][2] Soon the term referred to a plot of light intensity or ...
Mass chromatogram. A mass chromatogram is a representation of mass spectrometry data as a chromatogram, where the x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents signal intensity. [1] The source data contains mass information; however, it is not graphically represented in a mass chromatogram in favor of visualizing signal intensity versus time.
The Kendrick mass is defined by setting the mass of a chosen molecular fragment, typically CH 2, to an integer value in amu (atomic mass units). It is different from the IUPAC definition, which is based on setting the mass of 12 C isotope to exactly 12 amu. The Kendrick mass is often used to identify homologous compounds differing only by a ...
Table 2. Mass of b2-ions in peptide fragmentation [16] Identify a sequence ion series by the same mass difference, which matches one of the amino acid residue masses (see Table 1). For example, mass differences between a n and a n-1, b n and b n-1, c n and c n-1 are the same. Identify y n-1-ion at the high-mass end of the spectrum
Metabolic incorporation of the amino acids into the proteins results in a mass shift of the corresponding peptides. This mass shift can be detected by a mass spectrometer as indicated by the depicted mass spectra. When both samples are combined, the ratio of peak intensities in the mass spectrum reflects the relative protein abundance.
