Mass Spectrometry by Prof. Peter B. OConnor

Overview & Synopsis

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.
