Seven Golden Rules for heuristic filtering of molecular formulas obtained by accurate mass spectrometry

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Structure elucidation of unknown small molecules by mass spectrometry is a challenge despite advances in instrumentation. The first crucial step is to obtain correct elemental compositions. In order to automatically constrain the tho...
