Fig. 8. Mass spectrometry identification of the unknown phospholipids.

Fig. 8

The unknown phospholipid was purified by preparative TLC. The lipid was identified as lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine by ESI-MS, revealing two different acyl chain constituents, 16:0 and 18:1. The structures displayed are speculative since the acyl chain could be at either the sn-1 or sn-2 position.
