In this review, we discuss recent advances in MS-based proteomics methods designed to overcome the challenges for global and site-specific characterization of protein O-glycosylation. We begin with an overview of the biosynthetic pathways underlying the major classes of protein O-glycosylation. Then, we discuss different methods to enrich O-glycopeptides with diverse structures of O-glycans. Furthermore, various MS dissociation techniques for intact glycopeptide profiling are covered. In addition, different quantitative approaches are included for studying protein O-glycosylation in biological and biomedical research. We also discuss computational tools for intact O-glycopeptide identification, highlighting the challenges in search space requirement, false discovery rate control, and glycosylation site localization.

Several noise filtering algorithms have been proposed in an attempt to remove them, but there is still no universal solution. Therefore, given the rapid development of high-resolution mass spectrometry and its increasing use in various scientific fields, it is essential to improve existing noise filtering algorithms and develop new ones. Previously proposed solutions have used peak properties such as intensity, mass-to-charge ratio, or peak reproducibility. In this paper, we propose using another physical property to eliminate noise: the phase values of ion oscillations. These values can be obtained from the Fourier transform of raw Orbitrap transient signals. Our newly developed noise filtering algorithm classifies mass spectrometry peaks into two groups based on the phase values at their maxima. Then it uses this information to calculate the appropriate intensity threshold. The algorithm was tested on mass spectra of humic substances and showed good agreement with methods previously reported in the literature. The results obtained using our algorithm indicate that signals with anomalous phase values are mostly uninformative or related to noise. Finally, we propose an algorithm for the evaluation of noise removal efficiency. It takes into account the ratio of the number of peaks with normal and anomalous phase values that will be removed at a given intensity threshold. The algorithm can be used to validate and correct noise level estimates obtained by other methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry","volume":"37 5","pages":"1113–1123"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147621416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tracing its commercial sources and environmental transformation is difficult with concentration-based approaches. We explored electrospray ionization Orbitrap isotope ratio mass spectrometry ((ESI) Orbitrap MS-Based Isotope Ratio Analysis) for compound- and fragment-specific stable isotope analysis of IMI at natural abundance. This approach enables direct measurement of <sup>13</sup>C, <sup>15</sup>N, <sup>37</sup>Cl, and multiple substituted isotopologue ratios. Experimental parameters were optimized to control sources of bias in isotopologue ratios. A dual-inlet bracketing protocol enabled normalization and drift correction. IMI from seven different commercial sources could be distinguished by their isotopic fingerprints. We demonstrate that principal component analysis (PCA) can exploit the expanded set of isotopic variables. Two PCAs with distinct variable sets were performed: a fragment-only, nonoverlapping isotopologue subset for source material attribution, and a combined molecular-average and fragment-level subset to maximize manufacturer discrimination. Alkaline hydrolysis (pH ≈ 12, 30 °C) based on compound-average δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N values measured by (ESI) Orbitrap MS-Based Isotope Ratio Analysis revealed significant carbon isotope fractionation (ε<sub>C</sub> = −4.3 ± 1.4 ‰) and a statistically negligible nitrogen fractionation (ε<sub>N</sub> = 0.6 ± 1.6 ‰), consistent with initial OH<sup>–</sup> attack at the nitroimine carbon as the primary pathway. (ESI) Orbitrap MS-Based Isotope Ratio Analysis can elucidate transformation mechanisms in analytically challenging polar analytes. The chemometric approach of using MS<sup>1</sup>/MS<sup>2</sup> data can be transferred to other (agro-)chemicals either to enhance isotopic discrimination or to discover patterns.</p>","PeriodicalId":672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry","volume":"37 5","pages":"1196–1206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147637517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
