mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) 6,626 after purification.
The
mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of a peptide precursor ion is selected and fragmented into product ions.
The ionized proteins then are accelerated in an electrical field and the
mass-to-charge ratio is deduced from their velocity.
mass-to-charge ratio separation, analyzer detection, and ionization of protein molecules.
In at least one case the author conforms to accepted usage, e.g., the
mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) is defined as a dimensionless quantity, although the physics of the accepted terminology are questionable because a quantity so defined cannot be used in equations of motion for charged particles.
1B), and the mass spectra of all 96 fractions are combined, producing a two-dimensional display of peptide masses in which the abscissa displays the
mass-to-charge ratio, the ordinate is determined by the retention time on the RP-HPLC column, and the signal intensity is depicted by color saturation (Fig.
In selected ion storage, an ion of a single
mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) is retained in the QIT at a time, much like SIM operation of a quadrupole mass filter.
These ions are separated by the mass spectrometer according to their
mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), producing a spectrum on an m/z scale.
