Abstract
The (EIMS) electron ionization mass spectrometric fragmentation patterns of the methoxime- and ethoxime-trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of C(4) to C(7) sugars involved as phosphates in the Calvin pathway of photosynthesis in plants were analysed by gas chromatography/EIMS using specifically labelled (13)C analogs. In general, most but not all of the major ions in the mass spectra arise from single carbon-carbon bond cleavages of the straight-chain derivatives. The results confirm that GC/MS of the alkoxime-TMS derivatives is a viable method for measuring (13)C incorporations at individual carbon atoms in each of the sugar phosphates during photosynthetic experiments with (13)CO(2).
