As I understand, Dalton (Da) is the standard way for representing mass unit. As for m/z, which is a specific notation for mass spectrometry, quoting for wikipedia:
This notation eases data interpretation since it is numerically more related to the unified atomic mass unit
Considering this, could I say that the m
in m/z
is a Da
unity? If so, given an m/z
value, can I retrieve the original mass of the atomic mass by multiplying it by the ions charge, if I have that information?
I ask this because I have a spectrum analysis file with m/z
in the x
axis and I'm asked to compare masses in Da
