Resources for Lipid Analysis in the 21st Century

This is a Phosphatidyl Inositol (PI) molecule. This PI contains an 18:2 (linoleic acid) fatty acyl chain and an 18:0 (stearic acid) acyl chain. It is (SL)-PI. Phosphatidyl Inositols readily form deprotonated molecules, [M-H], by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in negative-ion mode. By positive-ion ESI-MS/MS and APCI-MS, this PI forms the diacylglycerol-like fragment ion [SL]+ and other fragments.

This page has been established to disseminate free copies of mass lists of PhosphatidylInositols, or Phosphatidyl Inositol (PI) molecular species, also called GlycerophosphoInositols (GPIns).

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

APCI-MS and ESI-MS

Data are given for Phosphatidyl Inositol protonated molecules, lithium, sodium and potassium adducts, diacylglycerol-like fragment ions, and fatty acid-related fragments.  Unlike amine-containing phospholipids, PhosphatidylInositols are best observed in Negative Ion (–) mode.

Mass lists are given as:

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

2.  Phosphatidyl Inositol & Fragment Masses by PI name.

3.  Phosphatidyl Inositol & Fragment Masses by PI mass.

4.  Masses of Adducts of PhosphatidylInositols by PI name.

5.  Masses of Adducts of PhosphatidylInositols by PI 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.

The page for each phospholipid class will be tailored as time permits.
