Abstract:
We analyzed various synthetic oligonucleotides with the use of ion-spray mass spectrometer. The most suitable conditions were investigated for analyzing oligonucleotides with molecular weights ranging from 3000 to 15000. We have found that the pH of the solvent was critical to reduce the formation of adduct ions in the mass spectra. Tandem mass spectrometry was also used to study the sequences.
