A mass spectrometric survey of some biologically important lipids.
The mass spectra of lipids are reviewed with emphasis on characteristic fragmentation patterns of each general class of compounds. Recent developments in the area of field ionization and field desorption mass spectrometry are discussed relative to each class of lipids.
