Interpretation of Mass Spectra Fred W. Mass-spec-training.com, a leader in professional development and continuing education for analytical scientists, is pleased to announce their participation in Mass Spectrometry 2013 – New Horizons in MS Hyphenated Techniques and Analyses. In addition, images of mass spectra are provided to explain how results are interpreted. Professor McLafferty of Cornell once wrote in his book Interpretation of Mass Spectra, “The mass spectrum shows the mass of the molecule and the masses of pieces from it. Throughout the book, detailed examples underscore the growing role of mass spectrometry throughout the drug discovery and development process. Completely revised and updated, this text provides an easy-to-read guide to the concept of mass spectrometry and demonstrates its potential and limitations. We report seven loci of genetic association with NMR derived traits (APOA1, CETP, CPS1, GCKR, FADS1, LIPC, PYROXD2) and characterize these traits biochemically using mass spectrometry. In the first instance it would appear to be limited to knowing that Dalton's atomic theory had to be modified to account for isotopes, and that modern mass spec data provides evidence for the same. Mz2m is a program for interpretation of peptide mass spectra. Participants will complete exercises interpreting pyrograms, gas chromatograms, and elementary Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) data. Secondly I would expect some simple interpretation (and maybe simple calculations*) based around some elemental mass specs. Since the precise structure or peptide sequence of a molecule is deciphered through the set of fragment masses, the interpretation of mass spectra requires combined use of various techniques.
