Charge chemical structures

Multivariate data analysis usually starts with generating a set of spectra and the corresponding chemical structures as a result of a spectrum similarity search in a spectrum database. The peak data are transformed into a set of spectral features and the chemical structures are encoded into molecular descriptors [80]. A spectral feature is a property that can be automatically computed from a mass spectrum. Typical spectral features are the peak intensity at a particular mass/charge value, or logarithmic intensity ratios. The goal of transformation of peak data into spectral features is to obtain descriptors of spectral properties that are more suitable than the original peak list data. 

The structure and formation of ATP. (A) The chemical structure of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). "C" indicates carbon, "N" nitrogen, "O" oxygen, "H" hydrogen and "P" phosphorus. Note the negative charges on the phosphate groups (PO3 ). (B) ATP can be formed from adenosine diphosphate (ADP). 

It is unrealistic to assume that systems of different chemical structure, and prepared via chemically very different routes, contain a similar amount of impurities that arc charged when empty ... 

As a polycation, chitosan spontaneously forms macromolecular complexes upon reaction with anionic polyelectrolytes. These complexes are generally water-insoluble and form hydrogels [90,91]. A variety of polyelectrolytes can be obtained by changing the chemical structure of component polymers, such as molecular weight, flexibility, fimctional group structure, charge density, hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, stereoregularity, and compatibility, as...
