Zusammenfassung

Important building blocks of life, including genetic material, or metabolites contain phosphorus compounds like phosphate esters and anhydrides. What all these compounds have in common is that they have a significant negative charge. Highly polar compounds, which are also unstable, would not be identified in current isolation campaigns of natural products. However, there is still much potential to discover, isolate and characterize charged metabolites. In this regard, the highly unstable structures require special extraction methods as well as mild analytics that allow rare compounds ...
