Abstract

Solutions containing BiCl3, bismuth subsalicylate or Bi(NO3)3 with L-cysteine, DL-homocysteine, D-methionine or glutathione have been examined by electrospray mass spectrometry. Prominent peaks are assigned to bismuth complexes of these biomolecules and provide insight towards understanding the bioactivity of bismuth compounds.
