Efficient calculation of accurate masses of isotopic peaks. Rockwood, A. L & Haimi, P. J Am Soc Mass Spectrom, 17(3):415–419, 2006.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents a new method for calculating accurate masses of isotopic peaks. It is based on breaking the calculation into a binary series of calculations. The molecule is built up by a series of such calculations. At each step the accurate masses are calculated as a probability weighted sum of the masses of the contributing peaks. The method is computationally efficient and accurate for both mass and relative abundance.
