In Mass Spectrometry, a Molecule Is Ionized and Its Migration

question 20

Multiple Choice

In mass spectrometry, a molecule is ionized and its migration rate in an electrical field is determined.What information does the migration rate tell about the molecule?

• A)It indicates mass because small molecules migrate more rapidly than larger molecules.
• B)It indicates electrical charge because negatively charged molecules migrate more rapidly than positively charged molecules.
• C)It indicates the solubility of the molecule because insoluble molecules form aggregates and migrate much slower than soluble molecules.
• D)It indicates the relative abundance of the molecules in the sample.
• E)It indicates the complexity of the proteome because greater proteome diversity takes a longer time to process.
