Joe,
Some aspects regarding pol(acrylamide) synthesis.
Simionescu et al. Revue Roumaine de Chemie(1996) vol 41 pp241-249.
The ACRYLAMINE polymerization was studied with and without an external
continuous magnetic field influence.The presence of the magnetic field
increases both polymerization rate and various reaction activation systems.The
modifications were attributed to the transitions in the radical pairs from the
singlet to the triplet state induced by the fields presence.As a result this
leads to a longer lifetime of radicals,the"cage"effect decreasing with the
initiation efficiency increasing.
Does this mean that you have your sequencers too near your mass specs?
This is obviously of no use to solving your questions but may lighten your day,

Sandy.
ps I also have a reference regarding ACYLIMINE adspecies!
