Methods, Mediums, and Systems for Targeted Isotope Clustering

This invention describes computer-implemented methods and systems that analyze a sample’s mass spectrum using a list of fragments expected to be present. The system generates predicted peaks from that list and searches the spectrum for matching peak patterns. By using prior knowledge to target isotope or charge clusters, the approach aims to make spectrum analysis faster and more accurate than untargeted matching methods.

Comparing a Modeled Molecule Fragmentation to an Experimental Molecule Fragmentation

This invention concerns comparing a modeled molecular fragmentation with fragmentation observed experimentally, supporting the analysis and interpretation of molecular data.
