About Mass Spectrometry Calculations
Mass spectrometry measures the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ions. Key concepts:
- m/z: Mass-to-charge ratio measured by the mass spectrometer
- Charge state: Number of charges (protons) on the ion
- ESI: Electrospray ionization produces multiply charged ions
- MALDI: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization typically produces singly charged ions
- Deconvolution: Process of determining molecular mass from multiple charge states
