Nomenclature Tools
Our nomenclature tools facilitate the sharing of lipidomics data and comparison of data across studies.
Output: input name; standardized name; formula; exact mass
Standardizing to LIPID MAPS® nomenclature is recommended for both discrete lipid structures and lipid species identified by mass spectroscopic techniques — an essential prerequisite for the ability to compare and contrast data across different experiments and studies.
Example| Input | Output | |
|---|---|---|
| 4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid | => | DHA |
| Cervonic acid | => | DHA |
| Docosahexaenoic acid | => | DHA |
| C22:6n-3,6,9,12,15,18 | => | DHA |
| DHA | => | DHA |
This tool uses RefMet ( Fahy & Subramaniam Nat. Methods 2020 )
Output: input name; standardized name; formula; exact mass with ion adduct
This calculator can be used on all input species, however not all adducts/ions are possible for every molecule.
