Using higher energy activation methods, like 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), offers the potential to cause more extensive fragmentation of large proteins and thereby yield greater sequence coverage. Obtaining high sequence coverage requires confident identification and assignment of fragment ions, and this process is hampered by spectral congestion and low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the fragment ions. Here we explore the use of charge reduction methods to produce lower charge states of large proteins to increase ion accumulation and generate lower charge states of fragment ions, ones that are naturally dispersed in the <i>m</i>/<i>z</i> domain to alleviate spectral congestion. UVPD of low charge states of enolase (47 kDa) and PRN-1 (63 kDa) resulted in sequence coverages as high as 47% (24+ charge state of enolase) and 23% (32+ of PRN-1) in comparison to 17% (55+ charge state of enolase) and 9% (55+ charge state of PRN-1) obtained for standard high charge states. Proton transfer charge reduction (PTCR) reactions were performed to further disperse fragment ions in the <i>m</i>/<i>z</i> domain and enhance identification. When employing PTCR after UVPD, sequence coverage was maximized for the highest charge states for enolase (55+, 67%) and PRN-1 (55+, 34%), confirming that charge reduction of fragment ions had a more notable impact on outcomes than charge reduction of precursor ions. Sequence coverages were increased further by combining results from electron transfer higher energy collision dissociation (EThcD) and UVPD (85% coverage for enolase and 52% coverage for PRN-1), bolstering the use of complementary MS/MS methods to yield greater dividends for top-down analysis of larger proteins.</p>","PeriodicalId":672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry","volume":"36 10","pages":"2253–2266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145028765","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}

Fentanyl and its analogues are the primary contributors to both fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the United States. The most recent instances of fentanyl-related overdoses have been attributed to the illicit production of fentanyl, characterized by its exceptionally potent nature. In this study, we present a high-throughput mass spectrometry based method for effective screening of fentanyl analogues with focus on the isomeric separation using commercially available platforms combining liquid chromatography, trapped ion mobility spectrometry, and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-TIMS-q-TOF MS/MS). The proposed analysis allows for effective separation and identification of 250 synthetic opioids based on the isotopic pattern, retention time, mobility profile, and MS/MS pattern. Our approach capitalizes on the advancements incorporating parallel accumulation in the mobility trap followed by sequential fragmentation (PASEF) using collision-induced dissociation on the liquid chromatography time scale.

The oscillating ions induce a periodic charge separation that is detected by a charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) connected to the cylinder. The resulting time domain signal is analyzed using short-time Fourier transforms to give the mass-to-charge ratio and charge for each ion, which are then multiplied to give the mass. For ions to be assigned to the correct integer charge states with a low error rate, the charge should be measured with a precision of &lt;0.2 e (elementary charges). Electrical noise reduces the precision of the charge measurement. However, the effect of the noise can be ameliorated by signal averaging, and the measurement time can, in principle, be increased to achieve a precision of &lt;0.2 e. Previously, through optimized ELIT design and improvements to the CSA, the measurement time (with a cryogenically cooled input JFET) required to achieve a charge precision of &lt;0.2 e was reduced by a factor of 2, from 3 s to 1.5 s. In this study, further improvements in JFET selection, capacitance matching, and cryogenic cooling has allowed us to further reduce the electrical noise so that the target precision of &lt;0.2 e can now be achieved for mAb MSQC4 in 600–700 ms with the input JFET cryogenically cooled, and in 900–1000 ms with the input JFET at room temperature. This performance upgrade cuts the overall time for high-resolution charge measurements by more than another factor of 2.

While the nutritional profile of Zhongzi purple rice is well-established, the spatial distribution and structural specificity of its lipid components, especially germ-specific triacylglycerols (TAGs), remain poorly characterized. This study employs a multimodal mass spectrometric strategy to investigate the lipidomic uniqueness of the Zhongzi purple rice. The strategy combines matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) for spatial analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for primary analysis, and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI-HRMS/MS) for secondary analysis. MALDI-MSI identified seven metabolites in Zhongzi purple rice that exhibited germ-specific accumulation. In contrast, these metabolites showed markedly reduced signal intensities and lacked structured spatial distribution in conventional purple, black, and brown rice. Using a combination of lipidomic database interrogation, HRMS molecular formula validation, and APCI-HRMS/MS structural elucidation, we identified these metabolites as unsaturated fatty acid-enriched TAGs. Specifically, they were TAG(16:0/16:0/18:2), TAG(16:0/16:0/18:1), TAG(16:0/18:1/18:3), TAG(16:0/18:1/18:2), TAG(16:0/18:1/18:1), TAG(18:1/18:2/18:2), and TAG(18:1/18:1/18:2). The high unsaturation of these TAGs contributes to improved lipid hydrolysis efficiency, metabolic health benefits, and oxidative stability. These properties highlight Zhongzi purple rice as a potential functional food source. Due to their germ-specific accumulation, these compounds can act as potential biomarkers for authenticating Zhongzi purple rice and detecting adulterants.

The reference spectrum most like the sample is assigned as its identification (provided some quantitative similarity threshold is met, e.g., 80%) and thus accurately measuring similarity is essential. Significant research has gone toward developing metrics for this purpose, each of which has attempted to improve upon existing methods by incorporating GC-MS-specific information (e.g., peak ratios or retention times) or adopting various statistical and algorithmic frameworks. While this active development has led to a plethora of similarity metrics with demonstrated value across different contexts, the unfortunate consequence has been confusion surrounding which metric should be used as a global standard. No such metric is currently accepted as the standard method because different metrics have demonstrated optimal performance in different contexts. In this work, we propose an ensemble approach to spectral similarity scoring that combines the collective information from across existing similarity metrics to form an improved, globally representative similarity metric as a step toward establishing a global standard method. The resulting ensemble metrics are evaluated on over 88,000 spectra of varying complexity and demonstrate improved abilities to accurately rank the correct reference spectrum as the top-matching candidate for a sample relative to the rankings generated by individual similarity scores.</p>","PeriodicalId":672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry","volume":"36 10","pages":"2164–2170"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144999469","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}
