  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008487",
  "term": "Partial isotopic scrambling",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The incomplete redistribution of isotopes within a molecule or ion during a chemical reaction or fragmentation process, leading to a non-statistical distribution of isotopic labels. This phenomenon provides insights into reaction mechanisms and the connectivity of atoms within a molecular structure. It is often observed in mass spectrometry experiments.",
