Details

The correct way to calculate the isotopic pattern of a specific adduct is the following. First, multiply the chemical formula of the molecule by the times it appears in the final adduct; multiform. Second, add the chemical formula of any adduct to that of the molecule; mergeform. Third, subtract the chemical formula of any deduct from that of the molecule; check_ded & subform. Finally, calculate the isotopic fine structure using the correct charge argument in isopattern.
