Inductive cleavage

Inductive cleavage, in organic chemistry, is the charge-initiated counterpoint to radical initiated alpha-cleavage. Since inductive cleavage does not require unpairing and re-pairing electrons it can occur at both radical cationic and cationic sites.

Mass spectrometry

Generally this topic is discussed when covering mass spectrometry and occurs generally by the same mechanisms.[1][2]

To neutralize the positive charge on the ionization site a single two-electron transfer must be made. Neutralization of the positive charge at the ionization site is performed at the expense of the atom adjacent to the ionization site, transferring the positive charge to this atom as a result of the bond cleavage.

gollark: It's harder for me since I'm an assemblage of ML models running on photonics.
gollark: You're made of biology. Just introspect.
gollark: We already *have* cell membranes which selectively let things through.
gollark: I really don't think you can do that without breaking things.
gollark: I assume there are some which can deal nicely with nucleotides going missing instead of just bit flips.
