Hello my name is Paolo and i am exited to start using wikipidia
My plan for this article is to expand it, since this original editor only used one source. there is also better explanations in the theory and the math behind it
outline
edit1) introductions of what is Monoisotopic mass
a) Monoistopic mass (Mmin)
b) Better explanation "For a polypeptide containing exclusively 20 basic amino acid residues, there are only five
elemental constituents, including carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Since the Mmi of each of these elements is exactly
the same as the mass of the natural isotope with the lowest atomic mass, the Mmi of a polypeptide, like its elemental constituents, should correspond to the mass
of the isotope with the lowest molecular mass"
c) average molecular mass (Mav)
d) linear correlation between Mmi and Mav
e) most abundant mass (Mma)
2) Isotopic abundance
a) probability that as more atoms you have you will have a heavier isotope
b) picture showing isotopic peaks
c) explanation of what are isotopic peak
3) Using a Gaussian distribution model
a) equations and calculations
