Modification Of Bruker Amazon Etd And Solarix Mass Spectrometers Towards Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation: Structural Characterization Of Modified Nucleosides, Lucas Ash Hamlow
Wayne State University Dissertations
Infrared ion spectroscopy has become an increasingly powerful tool for examining
the intrinsic structures of gas-phase ions. Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD)
action spectroscopy has been particularly successful. Several free electron laser (FEL)
facilities across the world have helped facilitate the growth of the IRMPD technique and
increasing interest has driven the development of more accessible IRMPD
instrumentation. The development of one such IRMPD instrumentation system is
described in this work, based around commercially available 3D quadrupole ion trap mass
spectrometers and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers.
The intrinsic gas-phase structures of nucleic acid monomers have been
extensively studied …
