Resources for Lipid Analysis in the 21st Century

This is a Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) molecule. This PC contains an 18:1 (oleic acid) fatty acyl chain and a 16:0 (palmitic acid) acyl chain. It is (PO)-PC. Phosphatidyl Cholines form protonated molecules, [M+H]+, by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS). This PC also forms the diacylglycerol-like fragment ion [OP]+ and other fragments by APCI-MS and by ESI-MS/MS

This page has been established to disseminate free copies of mass lists of PhosphatidylCholines, or Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) molecular species, which are more formally called Glycerophosphocholines (GPCho). They are the major components of Lecithin, often obtained as a lipid extract from egg yolks or soybeans.

Mass lists from these pages pertain to analysis of PhosphatidylCholines by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI)  and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) techniques:

APCI-MS and ESI-MS

Data are given for Phosphatidyl Choline protonated molecules, lithium, sodium and potassium adducts, diacylglycerol-like fragment ions, and fatty acid-related fragments.

Mass lists are given as:

1.  Fatty Acid and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester mass list.

2.  Phosphatidyl Choline & Fragment Masses by PC name.

3.  Phosphatidyl Choline & Fragment Masses by PC mass.

4.  Masses of Adducts of PhosphatidylCholines by PC name.

5.  Masses of Adducts of PhosphatidylCholines by PC mass.

These tables were put together by Dr. Byrdwell in the course of more than a decade of working on lipid analysis.

These mass lists are provided here as a service to my colleagues.
