Calculated monoisotopic masses of Sphingomyelin and Dihydrosphingomyelin and their adducts and fragments are based on the following atomic isotope masses:

 

1H = 1.0078250321

12C = 12.000000

14N = 14.0030740052

16O = 15.9949146221

23Na = 22.98976967

31P = 30.97376151

 

These masses are the most recent suggested isotopic masses from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at:

These masses represent the fragments that are formed from the Long-Chain Base (LCB) portion of the most common Sphingomyelin (SM) and Dihydrosphingomyelin (DSM) molecular species.  The Long-Chain Base is combined with a Fatty Amide (FA) chain to form the Ceramide (or Dihydroceramide) backbone of sphingolipids. When a Phosphocholine Head Group is added the Ceramide or Dihydroceramide backbone, the molecules Sphingomyelin or Dihydrosphingomyelin are formed. The structures of the Long-Chain Base, Fatty Amide, Ceramide or Dihydroceramide, and Sphingomyelin or Dihydrosphingomyelin can be seen in the structure schemes listed on the Navigation Menu.
