Popis: | Mass spectra of model methylene cross-linked bases and nucleosides have been studied to provide a more complete understanding of their electron ionization mass spectra for characterization of chemically modified products isolated from RNA or DNA. Four adenine and four adenosine derivatives were prepared having (CH2)n cross links between N6 groups where n = 1−4. Principal fragmentation processes are associated with homolytic cleavage of the methylene chain, often with olefin ion formation by a process associated with the presence of both bases. The fragment ions formed provide a clear means of differentiating base-base linkages from base-sugar or sugar-sugar linkages. |
