Effect of Protonation, Sodiation, Lithiation, and Potassiation on Chemical Properties of Glucose

Resumo

Processes in positively charged clusters of biological molecules are studied. Protons, as well as lithium, sodium, and potassium cations, are used as charge sources. It is found that fragments of different structures are formed depending on the positive ion source, which allows sufficiently reliable identification of initial molecules of a studied material.
