Mass Spectrometry by Prof. Peter B. OConnor
Prof. Peter B. O'Connor's note on mass spectrometry. It deals with the interpretation of mass spectra; it would be particularly useful for any persons undertaking the analysis of unknown samples. It starts by dealing with a range of techniques, among them being electron impact ionization, MS/MS fragmentation, and ion sources. In addition, the note goes into practical implementations of mass spectrometry in real-world applications such as protein complex analysis, hydrogen and deuterium exchange, and imaging mass spectrometry. The course takes the student through advanced topics like 2D FTICR mass spectrometry, an expansive full view of modern mass spectrometric methods and their practical use in research and industry.
