Identification of molecular species of glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelin using electrospray mass spectrometry.

This paper describes the use of positive and negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry (MS) and MS/MS (tandem mass spectrometry) to identify glycerophospholipid and ceramide headgroups and their alkyl, alkenyl and acyl constituents. Molecular ion adducts were the primary products formed by positiv...
