Syntax

Notes

1. No error message is generated when an uninterpretable value is entered for this parameter.
2. A default value of no is substituted if the parameter cannot be interpreted or is absent.

Description

Some types of post-translational or chemical modifications can produce intense peaks in a spectrum because of a favoured fragmentation mechanism produced by the loss of a stable neutral molecule. These "neutral loss" peaks can be removed from a spectrum by setting appropriate values for the spectrum, neutral loss window and spectrum, neutral loss mass parameters (see the links below).
