Isotopica -- A tool for the calculation and viewing of complex isotopic envelopes
What you can do:
Facilitate the interpretation of ions that contain naturally occurring isotopes in a mass spectrum.
Highlights:
- It allows the calculation of mass values and isotopic distributions based on molecular formulas, peptides/proteins, DNA/RNA, carbohydrate sequences or combinations thereof.
- Isotopica takes modifications of the input molecule into consideration using a simple and flexible language as a straightforward extension of the molecular formula syntax.
- The results can be displayed graphically on a local PC using the Isotopica viewer, a standalone application that is downloadable from the sites below, as a complement to the client browser.
- It is useful for peptide mass fingerprinting and validating an observed isotopic ion distribution with reference to the theoretical one, even from a multi-component sample.
Keywords:
- mass spectrum
- peptide mass fingerprinting
- isotopic distributions
- isotopic ions
