This is the protonated molecule, [M+H]+, of d18:1/18:0 Sphingomyelin that would be observed by mass spectrometry. This molecule is the most abundant SPM molecular species in bovine brain sphingomyelin. In biological systems, the molecule is usually zwitterionic. |

This page has been established to disseminate free copies of mass lists of Sphingomyelin and Dihydrosphingomyelin molecular species. Mass lists from this page pertain to analysis of Sphingomyelin and Dihydrosphingomyelin by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) techniques: APCI-MS and ESI-MS Data are given for protonated molecules, ammonium adducts, sodium adducts, and fragments from Sphingomyelin and Dihydrosphingomyelin by APCI-MS and ESI-MS. Mass lists are given as: 1. Sphingolipids with 18:1 long-chain base backbones (Sphingomyelin) 2. Sphingolipids with 18:0 long-chain backbones (Dihydrosphingomyelin) 3. Fragments produced by different lengths of carbon chains and no 4,5 trans double bond (DSM) or one 4,5 trans double bond (SM). These tables were put together by Dr. Byrdwell and by Richard H. Perry for his Master’s thesis. |

Disclaimer Structures and masses are given for the forms of Sphingomyelin and Dihydrosphingomyelin that are observed by mass spectrometry— NOT the naturally occurring forms. In biological systems, the phosphate oxygen is usually not protonated. At biological pH, the molecule is usually zwitterionic. |
