Fig. 2. High resolution mass spectra of stable isotope labeled nucleosides from cell culture.
a Labeling of compounds used for stable isotope labeling in cell culture. Grey circles indicate the positions of isotopes (13C, 15N, or 2H/D). b Merged high resolution mass spectra of the 4 canonical nucleosides of total tRNA after labeling of HEK 293 cells with shown compounds for 7 days. Background signals are marked with asterisks. c Merged high resolution mass spectra of three exemplary modifications (m5C, m7G, and m1A) in total tRNA after stable isotope labeling of HEK 293 cells for 7 days.
