Unsaturated
aliphatic compound, polycyclic aromatic compound, benzene, and some ethylene compounds are found to be the final product remaining on the surface of Cu wire as a result of degradation.
The same pattern was observed for many other indicators of fresh plant material, including the
aliphatic compound producing m/z 83+280, diketodipyrrole, and the lignin-derived products (Suarez-Abelenda et al.

The spectrum contains no signals attributable to other
aliphatic compounds, unless these occur in trace amounts.
The chemical constituents reported from this shrub belong to different classes, such as alkaloids, diterpenoid lactones, glycosides, steroids, sesquiterpenoid, phenolics,
aliphatic compounds and polysaccharides.
First discovered in 2011 by IBN Team Leader and Principal Research Scientist Dr Charlotte Hauser, the peptides were formed from only 3-7 amino acids, making them the smallest ever reported class of self-assembling
aliphatic compounds. Peptides perform a wide range of functions in the body, and are distinguished from proteins based on size.
