Abstract:Diagnostic ion-molecule reactions using tandem mass spectrometry can differentiate between isomeric compounds unlike a popular collision-activated dissociation methodology for the identification of previously unknown mixtures. Selected neutral reagents, such as 2-methoxypropene (MOP) are introduced into an ion trap mass spectrometer and react with protonated analytes to produce product ions diagnostic of the functional groups present in the analyte. However, the interpretation and understanding of specific rea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
