Abstract
BACKGROUND Ion mobility (IM) separation capabilities are now widely available to researchers through several commercial vendors and are now being adopted into many metabolomics workflows. The added peak capacity that ion mobility offers with minimal compromise to other analytical figures-of-merit has provided real benefits to sensitivity and structural selectivity and have allowed more specific metabolite annotations to be assigned in untargeted workflows. One of the greatest promises of contemporary IM-enabled instrumentation is the capability of operating multiple analytical dimensions inline with minimal sample volumes, which has the potential to address many grand challenges currently faced in the omics fields. However, comprehensive operation of multidimensional mass spectrometry comes with its own inherent challenges that, beyond operational complexity, may not be immediately obvious to practitioners of these techniques. AIM OF REVIEW In this review, we outline the strengths and considerations for incorporating IM analysis in metabolomics workflows and provide a critical but forward-looking perspective on the contemporary challenges and prospects associated with interpreting IM data into chemical knowledge. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW We outline a strategy for unifying IM-derived collision cross section (CCS) measurements obtained from different IM techniques and discuss the emerging field of high resolution ion mobility (HRIM) that is poised to address many of the contemporary challenges associated with ion mobility metabolomics. Whereas the LC step limits the throughput of comprehensive LC-IM-MS, the higher peak capacity of HRIM can allow fast LC gradients or rapid sample cleanup via solid-phase extraction (SPE) to be utilized, significantly improving the sample throughput.

Abstract
The analytical requirements for food testing have increased significantly in recent years. On the one hand, because food fraud is becoming an ever-greater challenge worldwide, and on the other hand because food safety is often difficult to monitor due to the far-reaching trade chains. In addition, the expectations of consumers on the quality of food have increased, and they are demanding extensive information. Cutting-edge analytical methods are required to meet these demands. In this context, non-targeted metabolomics strategies using mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers (mass spectrometry [MS]) have proven to be very suitable. MS-based approaches are of particular importance as they provide a comparatively high analytical coverage of the metabolome. Accordingly, the efficiency to address even challenging issues is high. A variety of hardware developments, which are explained in this review, have contributed to these advances. In addition, the potential of future developments is highlighted, some of which are currently not yet commercially available or only used to a comparatively small extent but are expected to gain in importance in the coming years.

Abstract
Drug adulteration and contamination are serious threats to human health therefore, their accurate monitoring is very important. Allopurinol (Alp) and theophylline (Thp) are commonly used drugs for the treatment of gout and bronchitis, while their isomers hypoxanthine (Hyt) and theobromine (Thm) have no effect and affect the efficacy of the drug. In this work, the drug isomers of Alp/Hyt and Thp/Thm are simply mixed with α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin (CD) and metal ions and separated using trapped ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (TIMS-MS). TIMS-MS results showed that Alp/Hyt and Thp/Thm isomers could interact with CD and metal ions and form corresponding binary or ternary complexes to achieve their TIMS separation. Different metal ions and CDs showed different separation effect for the isomers, among which Alp and Hyt could be successfully distinguished from the complexes of [Alp/Hyt+γ-CD + Cu-H]+ with separation resolution (R P-P) of 1.51; whereas Thp and Thm could be baseline separated by [Thp/Thm+γ-CD + Ca-H]+ with R P-P of 1.96. Besides, chemical calculations revealed that the complexes were in the inclusion forms, and microscopic interactions were somewhat different, making their mobility separation. Moreover, relative and absolute quantification was investigated with an internal standard to determine the precise isomers content, and good linearity (R 2 > 0.99) was obtained. Finally, the method was applied for the adulteration detection where different drugs and urine were analyzed. In addition, due to the advantages of fast speed, simple operation, high sensitivity, and no chromatographic separation required, the proposed method provides an effective strategy for the drug adulteration detection of isomers.

Abstract
In 2017, the United States Department of Health and Human Services declared the widespread misuse and abuse of prescription and illicit opioids an epidemic. However, this epidemic dates back to the 1990s when opioids were extensively prescribed for pain management. Currently, opioids are still recommended for pain management, and given their abuse potential, rapid screening is imperative for patient treatment. Of particular importance is assessing pain management patient compliance, where evaluating drug use is crucial for preventing opioid abuse and potential overdoses. In this work, we utilized drift tube ion mobility spectrometry coupled with mass spectrometry (DTIMS-MS) to develop a rapid screening method for 33 target opioids and opioid urinary metabolites. Collision cross section values were determined for all target molecules using a flow-injection DTIMS-MS method, and clear differentiation of 27 out of the 33 opioids without prior chromatographic separation was observed when utilizing a high resolution demultiplexing screening approach. An automated solid phase extraction (SPE) platform was then coupled to DTIMS-MS for 10 s sample-to-sample analyses. This SPE-IMS-MS approach enabled the rapid screening of urine samples for opioids and presents a major improvement in sample throughput compared to traditional chromatographic analyses coupled with MS, which routinely take several minutes per sample. Overall, this vast reduction in analysis time facilitates a faster turn-around for patient samples, providing great benefits to clinical applications.

Abstract
Researchers worldwide are taking advantage of novel, commercially available, technologies, such as ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS), for metabolomics and lipidomics applications in a variety of fields including life, biomedical, and food sciences. IM-MS provides three main technical advantages over traditional LC-MS workflows. Firstly, in addition to mass, IM-MS allows collision cross-section values to be measured for metabolites and lipids, a physicochemical identifier related to the chemical shape of an analyte that increases the confidence of identification. Second, IM-MS increases peak capacity and the signal-to-noise, improving fingerprinting as well as quantification, and better defining the spatial localization of metabolites and lipids in biological and food samples. Third, IM-MS can be coupled with various fragmentation modes, adding new tools to improve structural characterization and molecular annotation. Here, we review the state-of-the-art in IM-MS technologies and approaches utilized to support metabolomics and lipidomics applications and we assess the challenges and opportunities in this growing field.

Abstract
Metabolomics has become increasingly popular in recent years for many applications ranging from clinical diagnosis, human health to biotechnological questioning. Despite technological advances, metabolomic studies are still currently limited by the difficulty of identifying all metabolites, a class of compounds with great chemical diversity. Although lengthy chromatographic analyses are often used to obtain comprehensive data, many isobar and isomer metabolites still remain unresolved, which is a critical point for the compound identification. Currently, ion mobility spectrometry is being explored in metabolomics as a way to improve metabolome coverage, analysis throughput and isomer separation. In this review, all the steps of a typical workflow for untargeted metabolomics are discussed considering the use of an ion mobility instrument. An overview of metabolomics is first presented followed by a brief description of ion mobility instrumentation. The ion mobility potential for complex mixture analysis is discussed regarding its coupling with a mass spectrometer alone, providing gas-phase separation before mass analysis as well as its combination with different separation platforms (conventional hyphenation but also multidimensional ion mobility couplings), offering multidimensional separation. Various instrumental and analytical conditions for improving the ion mobility separation are also described. Finally, data mining, including software packages and visualization approaches, as well as the construction of ion mobility databases for the metabolite identification are examined.

Abstract
The major benefits of integrating ion mobility (IM) into LC-MS methods for small molecules are the additional separation dimension and especially the use of IM-derived collision cross sections (CCS) as an additional ion-specific identification parameter. Several large CCS databases are now available, but outliers in experimental interplatform IM-MS comparisons are identified as a critical issue for routine use of CCS databases for identity confirmation. We postulate that different routine external calibration strategies applied for traveling wave (TWIM-MS) in comparison to drift tube (DTIM-MS) and trapped ion mobility (TIM-MS) instruments is a critical factor affecting interplatform comparability. In this study, different external calibration approaches for IM-MS were experimentally evaluated for 87 steroids, for which TWCCSN2, DTCCSN2 and TIMCCSN2 are available. New reference CCSN2 values for commercially available and class-specific calibrant sets were established using DTIM-MS and the benefit of using consolidated reference values on comparability of CCSN2 values assessed. Furthermore, use of a new internal correction strategy based on stable isotope labelled (SIL) internal standards was shown to have potential for reducing systematic error in routine methods. After reducing bias for CCSN2 between different platforms using new reference values (95% of TWCCSN2 values fell within 1.29% of DTCCSN2 and 1.12% of TIMCCSN2 values, respectively), remaining outliers could be confidently classified and further studied using DFT calculations and CCSN2 predictions. Despite large uncertainties for in silico CCSN2 predictions, discrepancies in observed CCSN2 values across different IM-MS platforms as well as non-uniform arrival time distributions could be partly rationalized.

Abstract
Progress in structural biology research has led to a high demand for powerful and yet complementary analytical tools for structural characterization of proteins and protein complexes. This demand has significantly increased interest in native mass spectrometry (nMS), particularly native top-down mass spectrometry (nTDMS) in the past decade. This review highlights recent advances in nTDMS for structural research of biological assemblies, with a particular focus on the extra multi-layers of information enabled by TDMS. We include a short introduction of sample preparation and ionization to nMS, tandem fragmentation techniques as well as mass analyzers and software/analysis pipelines used for nTDMS. We highlight unique structural information offered by nTDMS and examples of its broad range of applications in proteins, protein-ligand interactions (metal, cofactor/drug, DNA/RNA, and protein), therapeutic antibodies and antigen-antibody complexes, membrane proteins, macromolecular machineries (ribosome, nucleosome, proteosome, and viruses), to endogenous protein complexes. The challenges, potential, along with perspectives of nTDMS methods for the analysis of proteins and protein assemblies in recombinant and biological samples are discussed.

Abstract
Lipids are involved in many biological processes and their study is constantly increasing. To identify a lipid among thousand requires of reliable methods and techniques. Ion Mobility (IM) can be coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS) to increase analytical selectivity in lipid analysis of lipids. IM-MS has experienced an enormous development in several aspects, including instrumentation, sensitivity, amount of information collected and lipid identification capabilities. This review summarizes the latest developments in IM-MS analyses for lipidomics and focusses on the current acquisition modes in IM-MS, the approaches for the pre-treatment of the acquired data and the subsequent data analysis. Methods and tools for the calculation of Collision Cross Section (CCS) values of analytes are also reviewed. CCS values are commonly studied to support the identification of lipids, providing a quasi-orthogonal property that increases the confidence level in the annotation of compounds and can be matched in CCS databases. The information contained in this review might be of help to new users of IM-MS to decide the adequate instrumentation and software to perform IM-MS experiments for lipid analyses, but also for other experienced researchers that can reconsider their routines and protocols.

Abstract
Lipidomic studies are often conducted using shotgun mass spectrometry (MS) or reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with MS (LC–MS). However, chromatographic separation offers several advantages such as an additional identification parameter (retention time), lower ion suppression, and separation of isobaric species. In contrast, quantification is more difficult because ion suppression is not the same over the whole analysis, and as a consequence more standards are needed to compensate for this. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) offers orthogonal separation compared to reversed-phase LC. While the separation of lipids in reversed-phase LC is mainly based on the length of the carbon chain and the number of double bonds, lipids in SFC are mainly separated according to their lipid classes, which simplifies quantification with standards. In this study, SFC coupled with drift time ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (DTIMS-QTOF-MS)was used to characterize the HepG2 lipidome.

Abstract
MOTIVATION Mass spectrometry-based untargeted lipidomics aims to globally characterize the lipids and lipid-like molecules in biological systems. Ion mobility increases coverage and confidence by offering an additional dimension of separation and a highly reproducible metric for feature annotation, the collision cross-section (CCS). RESULTS We present a data processing workflow to increase confidence in molecular class annotations based on CCS values. This approach uses class-specific regression models built from a standardized CCS repository (the Unified CCS Compendium) in a parallel scheme that combines a new annotation filtering approach with a machine learning class prediction strategy. In a proof-of-concept study using murine brain lipid extracts, 883 lipids were assigned higher confidence identifications using the filtering approach, which reduced the tentative candidate lists by over 50% on average. An additional 192 unannotated compounds were assigned a predicted chemical class.

Abstract
The interpretation of ion mobility coupled to mass spectrometry (IM-MS) data to predict unknown structures is challenging and depends on accurate theoretical estimates of the molecular ion collision cross section (CCS) against a buffer gas in a low or atmospheric pressure drift chamber. The sensitivity and reliability of computational prediction of CCS values depend on accurately modeling the molecular state over accessible conformations. In this work, we developed an efficient CCS computational workflow using a machine learning model in conjunction with standard DFT methods and CCS calculations. Furthermore, we have performed Traveling Wave IM-MS (TWIMS) experiments to validate the extant experimental values and assess uncertainties in experimentally measured CCS values. The developed workflow yielded accurate structural predictions and provides unique insights into the likely preferred conformation analyzed using IM-MS experiments. The complete workflow makes the computation of CCS values tractable for a large number of conformationally flexible metabolites with complex molecular structures.

Abstract
Stability is a key critical quality attribute monitored throughout the development of monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics. Minor changes in their higher order structure (HOS) caused by stress or environment may alter mAb aggregation, immunogenicity, and efficacy. In addition, the structures of the resulting mAb aggregates are largely unknown, as are their dependencies on conditions under which they are created. In this report, we investigate the HOS of mAb monomers and dimers under a variety of forced degradation conditions with ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and collision-induced unfolding (CIU) technologies. We evaluate two model IgG1 antibodies that differ significantly only in their complementarity-determinant regions: IgG1α and IgG1β. Our data covering both heat- and pH-based forced degradation conditions, aquired on two different IM-MS platforms, show that these mAbs undergo global HOS changes at both monomer and dimer levels upon degradation, but shifts in collision cross section (CCS) differ under pH or heat degradation conditions. In addition, the level of CCS change detected is different between IgG1α and IgG1β, suggesting that differences in the CDR drive differential responses to degradation that influence the antibody HOS. Dramatically different CIU fingerprints are obtained for IgG1α and IgG1β monomers and dimers for both degradation conditions. Finally, we constructed a series of computational models of mAb dimers for comparison with experimental CCS values and found evidence for a compact, overlapped dimer structure under native and heat degradation conditions, possibly adopting an inverted or nonoverlapped quaternary structure when produced through pH degredation. We conclude by discussing the potential impact of our findings on ongoing biotherapeutic discovery and development efforts.

Abstract
Cells encode information in the sequence of biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans. Although glycans are essential to all living organisms, surprisingly little is known about the "sugar code" and the biological roles of these molecules. The reason glycobiology lags behind its counterparts dealing with nucleic acids and proteins lies in the complexity of carbohydrate structures, which renders their analysis extremely challenging. Building blocks that may differ only in the configuration of a single stereocenter, combined with the vast possibilities to connect monosaccharide units, lead to an immense variety of isomers, which poses a formidable challenge to conventional mass spectrometry. In recent years, however, a combination of innovative ion activation methods, commercialization of ion mobility-mass spectrometry, progress in gas-phase ion spectroscopy, and advances in computational chemistry have led to a revolution in mass spectrometry-based glycan analysis. The present review focuses on the above techniques that expanded the traditional glycomics toolkit and provided spectacular insight into the structure of these fascinating biomolecules. To emphasize the specific challenges associated with them, major classes of mammalian glycans are discussed in separate sections. By doing so, we aim to put the spotlight on the most important element of glycobiology: the glycans themselves.

Abstract
We present DEIMoS: Data Extraction for Integrated Multidimensional Spectrometry, a Python application programming interface (API) and command-line tool for high-dimensional mass spectrometry data analysis workflows that offers ease of development and access to efficient algorithmic implementations. Functionality includes feature detection, feature alignment, collision cross section (CCS) calibration, isotope detection, and MS/MS spectral deconvolution, with the output comprising detected features aligned across study samples and characterized by mass, CCS, tandem mass spectra, and isotopic signature. Notably, DEIMoS operates on N-dimensional data, largely agnostic to acquisition instrumentation; algorithm implementations simultaneously utilize all dimensions to (i) offer greater separation between features, thus improving detection sensitivity, (ii) increase alignment/feature matching confidence among data sets, and (iii) mitigate convolution artifacts in tandem mass spectra. We demonstrate DEIMoS with LC-IMS-MS/MS metabolomics data to illustrate the advantages of a multidimensional approach in each data processing step.

Abstract
Isomeric peptide analyses are an analytical challenge of great importance to therapeutic monoclonal antibody and other biotherapeutic product development workflows. Aspartic acid (Asp, D) to isoaspartic acid (isoAsp, isoD) isomerization is a critical quality attribute (CQA) that requires careful control, monitoring, and quantitation during the drug discovery and production processes. While the formation of isoAsp has been implicated in a variety of disease states such as autoimmune diseases and several types of cancer, it is also understood that the formation of isoAsp results in a structural change impacting efficacy, potency, and immunogenic properties, all of which are undesirable. Currently, lengthy ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) separations are coupled with MS for CQA analyses; however, these measurements often take over an hour and drastically limit analysis throughput. In this manuscript, drift tube ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (DTIMS-MS) and both a standard and high-resolution demultiplexing approach were utilized to study eight isomeric Asp and isoAsp peptide pairs. While the limited resolving power associated with the standard DTIMS analysis only separated three of the eight pairs, the application of HRdm distinguished seven of the eight and was only unable to separate DL and isoDL. The rapid high-throughput HRdm DTIMS-MS method was also interfaced with both flow injection and an automated solid phase extraction system to present the first application of HRdm for isoAsp and Asp assessment and demonstrate screening capabilities for isomeric peptides in complex samples, resulting in a workflow highly suitable for biopharmaceutical research needs.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (LC-IM-MS) for glucocorticoids. Determination of collision cross sections (CCS) for isomers. Different cation adducts shifted mobility and improved IM separation. Changing drift gas (He, Ar, CO2) shifted mobility and improved resolution.
Introduction Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is an emerging technique in the -omics fields that has broad potential applicability to the clinical lab. As a rapid, gas-phase structure-based separation technique, IM-MS offers promise in isomer separations and can be easily combined with existing LC-MS methods (i.e., LC-IM-MS). Several experimental conditions, including analyte cation adducts and drift composition further provide a means to tune separations for global and/or targeted applications. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the utility of IM-MS under a range of experimental conditions for detection of glucocorticoids, and specifically for the separation of several isomeric pairs. Methods LC-IM-MS was used to characterize 16 glucocorticoids including three isomer pairs: cortisone/prednisolone, betamethasone/dexamethasone, and flunisolide/triamcinolone acetonide. Collision cross section (CCS) values were measured for all common adducts (e.g., protonated and sodiated) using both step-field and single-field methods. Alternative alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals were introduced, such that their adducts could also be measured. Finally, four different drift gases (helium, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide) were compared for their relative separation capability. Results LC-IM-MS offered a robust, multidimensional separation technique that allowed for the 16 glucocorticoids to be analyzed and separated in three-dimensions (retention time, CCS, and m/z). Despite the relatively modest resolution of isomer pairs under standard conditions (i.e., nitrogen drift gas, sodiated ions, etc.), improvements were observed for alkaline earth and transition metals (notable barium adducts) and in carbon dioxide drift gas. Conclusion In summary, LC-IM-MS offers potential as a clinical method due to its ease of coupling with traditional LC-MS methods and its promise for tuning separations to better resolve targeted and/or global isomers in complex biological samples.

Abstract
The comprehensive chemical characterization of biological samples remains a central challenge in the field of natural products. Conventional workflows using liquid chromatography (LC)-coupled high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS or MS2) allow the detection of relevant small molecules while providing diagnostic fragment ions for their structural assignment. Still, many natural product extracts are of a molecular complexity that challenges the resolving power of modern LC-MS2 pipelines. In this study, we examined the effect of integrating ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to our LC-MS2 platform for the characterization of natural product mixtures. IMS provides an additional axis of separation in the gas phase as well as experimental collision cross-sectional (CCS) values. We analyzed a mixture of 20 commercial standards at 2 concentration ranges, either solubilized in solvent or spiked into an actinobacterial extract. Data were acquired in positive ion mode using both data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) MS2 fragmentation approaches and assessed for both chemical coverage and spectral quality. IMS-DIA identified the largest number of standards in the spiked extract at the lower concentration of standards (17), followed by IMS-DDA (10), DDA (8), and DIA (6). In addition, we examined how these data sets performed in the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) platform. Overall, integrating IMS increased both metabolite detection and the quality of MS2 spectra, particularly for samples analyzed in DIA mode.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry is a central technology in the life sciences, providing our most comprehensive account of the molecular inventory of the cell. In parallel with developments in mass spectrometry technologies targeting such assessments of cellular composition, mass spectrometry tools have emerged as versatile probes of biomolecular stability. In this review, we cover recent advancements in this branch of mass spectrometry that target proteins, a centrally important class of macromolecules that accounts for most biochemical functions and drug targets. Our efforts cover tools such as hydrogen-deuterium exchange, chemical cross-linking, ion mobility, collision induced unfolding, and other techniques capable of stability assessments on a proteomic scale. In addition, we focus on a range of application areas where mass spectrometry-driven protein stability measurements have made notable impacts, including studies of membrane proteins, heat shock proteins, amyloidogenic proteins, and biotherapeutics. We conclude by briefly discussing the future of this vibrant and fast-moving area of research.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry of denatured, multiply charged high mass protein precursor ions yield extremely dense spectra with hundreds of broad and overlapping product ion isotopic distributions of differing charge states that yield an elevated baseline of unresolved "noise" centered about the precursor ion. Development of mass analyzers and signal processing methods to increase mass resolving power and manipulation of precursor and product ion charge through solution additives or ion-ion reactions have been thoroughly explored as solutions to spectral congestion. Here, we demonstrate the utility of electron capture dissociation (ECD) coupled with high-resolution cyclic ion mobility spectrometry (cIMS) to greatly increase top-down protein characterization capabilities. Congestion of protein ECD spectra was reduced using cIMS of the ECD product ions and "mobility fractions", that is, extracted mass spectra for segments of the 2D mobiligram (m/z versus drift time). For small proteins, such as ubiquitin (8.6 kDa), where mass resolving power was not the limiting factor for characterization, pre-IMS ECD and mobility fractions did not significantly increase protein sequence coverage, but an increase in the number of identified product ions was observed. However, a dramatic increase in performance, measured by protein sequence coverage, was observed for larger and more highly charged species, such as the +35 charge state of carbonic anhydrase (29 kDa). Pre-IMS ECD combined with mobility fractions yielded a 135% increase in the number of annotated isotope clusters and a 75% increase in unique product ions compared to processing without using the IMS dimension. These results yielded 89% sequence coverage for carbonic anhydrase.

Abstract
The collision cross-section (CCS) values of ions determined by ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) can be used to deduce the shape and size of the ions. For each compound, as well as its isomer or tautomer, a unique arrival time peak was obtained in extracted ion mobility (EIM) spectra, which corresponded to a specific CCS value. However, the generation of solvated ions by electrospray ionization (ESI) increases the number of mobility peaks, which makes the EIM spectra difficult to interpret. In this study, solvent clusters formed by acetonitrile and methanol around 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (1,8-NA) cations ([C12H6O3 + H]+1,8-NA) were investigated using trapped ion mobility spectrometry-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TIMS-TOF MS). The effects of infusion flow rate, nebulizer gas pressure, drying gas rate, and drying gas temperature on the formation of solvent clusters from acetonitrile and methanolic solution were systematically studied. The formation of solvent clusters was observed with infusion flow rates increased, which was manifested by the larger experimental CCS values of [C12H6O3 + H]+1,8-NA. Acetonitrile tended to form solvent clusters around ions more readily than methanol. These solvent clusters were stable enough to be detected by TIMS, but they cannot survive under ion activation conditions of mass spectrometry (MS). Increasing the nebulizer gas pressure seems to be a better way to eliminate the formation of solvent clusters in TIMS-TOF MS and give a "cleaner" EIM spectra. The current research demonstrates that more attention should be paid to the solvent effect on CCS values and their interpretation.

Abstract
While the combination of liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is commonly used for feature annotation in untargeted omics experiments, ensuring these prioritized features originate from endogenous metabolism remains challenging. Isotopologue workflows, such as isotopic ratio outlier analysis (IROA), mass isotopomer ratio analysis of U-13C labeled extracts (MIRACLE), and credentialing incorporate isotopic labels directly into metabolic precursors, guaranteeing that all features of interest are unequivocal byproducts of cellular metabolism. Furthermore, comprehensive separation and annotation of small molecules continue to challenge the metabolomics field, particularly for isomeric systems. In this paper, we evaluate the analytical utility of incorporating ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) as an additional separation mechanism into standard LC-MS/MS isotopologue workflows. Since isotopically labeled molecules codrift in the IMS dimension with their 12C versions, LC-IMS-CID-MS provides four dimensions (LC, IMS, MS, and MS/MS) to directly investigate the metabolic activity of prioritized untargeted features. Here, we demonstrate this additional selectivity by showcasing how a preliminary data set of 30 endogeneous metabolites are putatively annotated from isotopically labeled Escherichia coli cultures when analyzed by LC-IMS-CID-MS. Metabolite annotations were based on several molecular descriptors, including accurate mass measurement, carbon number, annotated fragmentation spectra, and collision cross section (CCS), collectively illustrating the importance of incorporating IMS into isotopologue workflows. Overall, our results highlight the enhanced separation space and increased annotation confidence afforded by IMS for metabolic characterization and provide a unique perspective for future developments in isotopically labeled MS experiments.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a ubiquitous co- and post-translational modification involved in the sorting, folding, and trafficking of proteins in biological systems; in humans, >50% of gene products are glycosylated with the cellular machinery of glycosylation compromising ~2% of the genome. Perturbations in glycosylation have been implicated in a variety of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases and certain types of cancer. However, understanding the relationship between a glycan and its biological role is often difficult due to the numerous glycan isomers that exist. To address this challenge, nanoflow liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry (nLC-IMS-MS) were combined with the Individuality Normalization when Labeling with the Isotopic Glycan Hydrazide Tags (INLIGHT™) strategy to study a series of glycan standards and those enzymatically released from the glycoproteins horseradish peroxidase, fetuin, and pooled human plasma. The combination of IMS and the natural (NAT) and stable-isotope label (SIL) in the INLIGHT™ strategy provided additional confidence for each glycan identification due to the mobility aligned NAT- and SIL-labeled glycans and further capabilities for isomer examinations. Additionally, molecular trend lines based on the IMS and MS dimensions were investigated for the INLIGHT™ derivatized glycans, facilitating rapid identification of putative glycans in complex biological samples.

Abstract
RATIONALE Field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has a great potential to become a portable technology for rapid detection of chemical and biological agents. However, the ion current signals, measured at the exit of the planar FAIMS directly, may contain different types of noises. The peak information in the FAIMS spectrum, such as the compensation voltage (CV) value at the maximum peak intensity (CVP ) and the peak width at half maximum (Wh ), could not be accurately determined under the weak signal condition, which significantly limits the achievable instrument sensitivity, and there are no existing solutions to the problem. METHODS This study analyzed the noise type of FAIMS signal in detail, and three different signal processing algorithms, such as median filtering (MF), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and zero-phase digital filtering (ZDF), were evaluated for their performance in denoising the FAIMS signal. RESULTS The results show that the standard deviation of CVp obtained from the signal denoised using ZDF algorithm is at least 31.82% smaller as compared to using MF and DWT algorithms. The standard deviation of Wh is at least 45.45% smaller using ZDF algorithm. Moreover, only ZDF algorithm can keep the percentage error for the CV value of the denoised signal to be within 0.50 ± 0.47% of the true CV value, implying the effectiveness of ZDF algorithm in denoising while retaining the integrity of the signal. CONCLUSIONS The ZDF algorithm greatly reduces the analyte peak extraction error and improves the limit of detection in FAIMS measurements.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ion mobility-mass spectrometry is an emerging technology in the clinical setting for high throughput and high confidence molecular characterization from complex biological samples. Ion mobility spectrometry can provide isomer separations on the basis of molecular structure, the ability of which is increasing through technological developments that afford enhanced resolving power. Integrating multiple separation dimensions, such as liquid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (LC-IM-MS) provide dramatic enhancements in the mitigation of molecular interferences for high accuracy clinical measurements. AREAS COVERED Multidimensional separations with LC-IM-MS provide better selectivity and sensitivity in molecular analysis. Mass spectrometry imaging of tissues to inform spatial molecular distribution is improved by complementary ion mobility analyses. Biomarker identification in surgical environments is enhanced by intraoperative biochemical analysis with mass spectrometry and holds promise for integration with ion mobility spectrometry. New prospects in high resolving power ion mobility are enhancing analysis capabilities, such as distinguishing isomeric compounds. EXPERT OPINION Ion mobility-mass spectrometry holds many prospects for the field of isomer identification, molecular imaging, and intraoperative tumor margin delineation in clinical settings. These advantages are afforded while maintaining fast analysis times and subsequently high throughput. High resolving power ion mobility will enhance these advantages further, in particular for analyses requiring high confidence isobaric selectivity and detection.

Abstract
Detection and diagnosis of congenital disorders is the principal aim of newborn screening (NBS) programs worldwide. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become the preferred primary testing method for high-throughput NBS sampling because of its speed and selectivity. However, the ever-increasing list of NBS biomarkers included in expanding panels creates unique analytical challenges for multiplexed MS assays due to isobaric/isomeric overlap and chimeric fragmentation spectra. Since isobaric and isomeric systems limit the diagnostic power of current methods and require costly follow-up exams due to many false-positive results, here, we explore the utility of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to enhance the accuracy of MS assays for primary (tier 1) screening. Our results suggest that ∼400 IMS resolving power would be required to confidently assess most NBS biomarkers of interest in dried blood spots (DBSs) that currently require follow-up testing. While this level of selectivity is unobtainable with most commercially available platforms, the separations detailed here for a commercially available drift tube IMS (Agilent 6560 with high-resolution demultiplexing, HRdm) illustrate the unique capabilities of IMS to separate many diagnostic NBS biomarkers from interferences. Furthermore, to address the need for increased speed of NBS analyses, we utilized an automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) system for ∼10 s sampling of simulated NBS samples prior to IMS-MS. This proof-of-concept work demonstrates the unique capabilities of SPE-IMS-MS for high-throughput sample introduction and enhanced separation capacity conducive for increasing speed and accuracy for NBS.

Abstract
The presence of pharmaceutical compounds in the aquatic environment is a significant environmental health concern, which is exacerbated by recent evidence of the contribution of drug metabolites to the overall pharmaceutical load. In light of a recent report of the occurrence of metabolites of antiretroviral drugs (ARVDs) in wastewater, we investigate in the present work the occurrence of further ARVD metabolites in samples obtained from a domestic wastewater treatment plant in the Western Cape, South Africa. Pharmacokinetic data indicate that ARVDs are biotransformed into several positional isomeric metabolites, only two of which have been reported wastewater samples. Given the challenges associated with the separation and identification of isomeric species in complex wastewater samples, a method based on liquid chromatography hyphenated to ion mobility spectrometry-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-IMS-HR-MS) was implemented. Gradient LC separation was achieved on a sub-2 µm reversed phase column, while the quadrupole-time-of-flight MS was operated in data independent acquisition (DIA) mode to increase spectral coverage of detected features. A mass defect filter (MDF) template was implemented to detect ARVD metabolites with known phase I and phase II mass shifts and fractional mass differences and to filter out potential interferents. IMS proved particularly useful in filtering the MS data for co-eluting species according to arrival time to provide cleaner mass spectra. This approach allowed us to confirm the presence of two known hydroxylated efavirenz and nevirapine metabolites using authentic standards, and to tentatively identify a carboxylate metabolite of abacavir previously reported in literature. Furthermore, three hydroxylated-, two sulphated and one glucuronidated metabolite of efavirenz, two hydroxylated metabolites of nevirapine and one hydroxylated metabolite of ritonavir were tentatively or putatively identified in wastewater samples for the first time. Assignment of the metabolites is discussed in terms of high resolution fragmentation data, while collisional cross section (CCS) values measured for the detected analytes are reported to facilitate further work in this area.

Abstract
The implication of lipid dysregulation in diseases, toxic exposure outcomes, and inflammation has brought great interest to lipidomic studies. However, lipids have proven to be analytically challenging due to their highly isomeric nature and vast concentration ranges in biological matrices. Therefore, multidimensional techniques such as those integrating liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, collision-induced dissociation, and mass spectrometry (LC-IMS-CID-MS) have been implemented to separate lipid isomers as well as provide structural information and increased identification confidence. These data sets are however extremely large and complex, resulting in challenges for data processing and annotation. Here, we have overcome these challenges by developing sample-specific multidimensional lipid libraries using the freely available software Skyline. Specifically, the human plasma library developed for this work contains over 500 unique lipids and is combined with adapted Skyline functions such as indexed retention time (iRT) for retention time prediction and IMS drift time filtering for enhanced selectivity. For comparison with other studies, this database was used to annotate LC-IMS-CID-MS data from a NIST SRM 1950 extract. The same workflow was then utilized to assess plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from patients with varying degrees of smoke inhalation injury to identify lipid-based patient prognostic and diagnostic markers.

Abstract
A common idea is that some dishonest businessmen often disguise Citrus reticulata Blanco varieties as Citrus reticulata 'Chachi', which places consumers at risk of economic losses. In this work, we combined high-resolution ion mobility (U-shaped mobility analyzer) with high-resolution mass spectrometry to rapidly distinguish Citrus reticulata 'Chachi' from other Citrus species. The samples were analyzed directly through simple extraction and the analytes were separated in one second. It only took about 1 min to perform a cycle of sample analysis and data acquisition. The results showed that polymethoxylated flavones and their isomers were separated easily by the ion mobility analyzer and preliminarily identified according to the accurate mass. Moreover, the collision cross-section values of all analytes, which could be used as auxiliary parameters to characterize and identify the compounds in the samples, were measured. Twenty-four samples were grouped as two clusters by multivariate analysis, which meant that Citrus reticulata 'Chachi' could be effectively differentiated. It was confirmed that the developed method had the potential to rapidly separate polymethoxylated flavones and distinguish between Citrus reticulata 'Chachi' and other Citrus reticulata Blanco varieties.

Abstract
We describe the implementation of a simple three-electrode surface-induced dissociation (SID) cell on a cyclic ion mobility spectrometer (cIMS) and demonstrate the utility of multipass mobility separations for resolving multiple conformations of protein complexes generated during collision-induced and surface-induced unfolding (CIU & SIU) experiments. In addition to CIU and SIU, SID of protein complexes is readily accomplished within the native instrument software and with no additional external power supplies by entering a single SID collision energy, a simplification in user experience compared to prior implementations. A set of cyclic homomeric protein complexes and a heterohexamer with known CID and SID behavior were analyzed to investigate mass and mobility resolution improvements, the latter of which improved by 20-50% (median: 33%) compared to a linear travelling wave device. Multiple passes of intact complexes, or their SID fragments, increased the mobility resolution by an average of 15% per pass, with the racetrack effect being observed after ∼3 or 4 passes, depending on the drift time spread of the analytes. Even with modest improvements to apparent mobility resolving power, multipass experiments were particularly useful for separating conformations produced from CIU and SIU experiments. We illustrate several examples where either (1) multipass experiments revealed multiple overlapping conformations previously unobserved or obscured due to limited mobility resolution, or (2) CIU or SIU conformations that appeared 'native' in a single pass experiment were actually slightly compacted or expanded, with the change only being measurable through multipass experiments. The work conducted here, the first utilization of multipass cyclic ion mobility for CIU, SIU, and SID of protein assemblies and a demonstration of a wholly integrated SIU/SID workflow, paves the way for widespread adoption of SID technology for native mass spectrometry and also improves our understanding of gas-phase protein complex CIU and SIU conformationomes.

Abstract
A unique feature of the work carried out in the Collaborative Research Center 3MET continues to be its emphasis on innovative, advanced experimental methods which hyphenate mass-selection with further analytical tools such as laser spectroscopy for the study of isolated molecular ions. This allows to probe the intrinsic properties of the species of interest free of perturbing solvent or matrix effects. This review explains these methods and uses examples from past and ongoing 3MET studies of specific classes of multicenter metal complexes to illustrate how coordination chemistry can be advanced by applying them. As a corollary, we will show how the challenges involved in providing well-defined, for example monoisomeric, samples of the molecular ions have helped to further improve the methods themselves thus also making them applicable to many other areas of chemistry.

Abstract
We demonstrate the utility of combining silicon nanopost arrays (NAPA) and trapped ion mobility imaging mass spectrometry (TIMS IMS) for high spatial resolution and specificity mapping of neutral lipid classes in tissue. Ionization of neutral lipid species such as triglycerides (TGs), cholestryl esters (CEs), and hexosylceramides (HexCers) from biological tissues has remained a challenge for imaging applications. NAPA, a matrix-free laser desorption ionization substrate, provides enhanced ionization efficiency for the above-mentioned neutral lipid species, providing complementary lipid coverage to matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). The combination of NAPA and TIMS IMS enables imaging of neutral lipid species at 20 μm spatial resolution while also increasing molecular coverage greater than 2-fold using gas-phase ion mobility separations. This is a significant improvement with respect to sensitivity, specificity, and spatial resolution compared to previously reported imaging studies using NAPA alone. Improved specificity for neutral lipid analysis using TIMS IMS was shown using rat kidney tissue to separate TGs, CEs, HexCers, and phospholipids into distinct ion mobility trendlines. Further, this technology allowed for the separation of isomeric species, including mobility resolved isomers of Cer(d42:2) (m/z 686.585) with distinct spatial localizations measured in rat kidney tissue section.

Abstract
Due to its high sensitivity and resolving power, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) is a powerful technique for the separation and sensitive detection of volatile organic compounds. It is a robust and easy-to-handle technique, which has recently gained attention for non-targeted screening (NTS) approaches. In this article, the general working principles of GC-IMS are presented. Next, the workflow for NTS using GC-IMS is described, including data acquisition, data processing and model building, model interpretation and complementary data analysis. A detailed overview of recent studies for NTS using GC-IMS is included, including several examples which have demonstrated GC-IMS to be an effective technique for various classification and quantification tasks. Lastly, a comparison of targeted and non-targeted strategies using GC-IMS are provided, highlighting the potential of GC-IMS in combination with NTS.

Abstract
Native mass spectrometry (MS) is aimed at preserving and determining the native structure, composition, and stoichiometry of biomolecules and their complexes from solution after they are transferred into the gas phase. Major improvements in native MS instrumentation and experimental methods over the past few decades have led to a concomitant increase in the complexity and heterogeneity of samples that can be analyzed, including protein-ligand complexes, protein complexes with multiple coexisting stoichiometries, and membrane protein-lipid assemblies. Heterogeneous features of these biomolecular samples can be important for understanding structure and function. However, sample heterogeneity can make assignment of ion mass, charge, composition, and structure very challenging due to the overlap of tens or even hundreds of peaks in the mass spectrum. In this review, we cover data analysis, experimental, and instrumental advances and strategies aimed at solving this problem, with an in-depth discussion of theoretical and practical aspects of the use of available deconvolution algorithms and tools. We also reflect upon current challenges and provide a view of the future of this exciting field.

Abstract
Recent advances in efficiency and ease of implementation have rekindled interest in ion mobility spectrometry, a technique that separates gas phase ions by their size and shape and that can be hybridized with conventional LC and MS. Here, we review the recent development of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) coupled to TOF mass analysis. In particular, the parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (PASEF) operation mode offers unique advantages in terms of sequencing speed and sensitivity. Its defining feature is that it synchronizes the release of ions from the TIMS device with the downstream selection of precursors for fragmentation in a TIMS quadrupole TOF configuration. As ions are compressed into narrow ion mobility peaks, the number of peptide fragment ion spectra obtained in data-dependent or targeted analyses can be increased by an order of magnitude without compromising sensitivity. Taking advantage of the correlation between ion mobility and mass, the PASEF principle also multiplies the efficiency of data-independent acquisition. This makes the technology well suited for rapid proteome profiling, an increasingly important attribute in clinical proteomics, as well as for ultrasensitive measurements down to single cells. The speed and accuracy of TIMS and PASEF also enable precise measurements of collisional cross section values at the scale of more than a million data points and the development of neural networks capable of predicting them based only on peptide sequences. Peptide collisional cross section values can differ for isobaric sequences or positional isomers of post-translational modifications. This additional information may be leveraged in real time to direct data acquisition or in postprocessing to increase confidence in peptide identifications. These developments make TIMS quadrupole TOF PASEF a powerful and expandable platform for proteomics and beyond.

Abstract
Blanc's Law has served as a way to predict the mobilities of ions in mixed drift gases for over 100 years yet has remained largely unexplored using newer ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) configurations, including traveling wave and trapped IMS (TIMS) systems. Here, we evaluate a drift-tube IMS (DTIMS) and compare it to a similar set of experiments performed in TIMS. We found that Blanc's Law can be applied in a DTIMS to determine the mobility of an analyte in the minor gas component of a ternary mixed drift gas system within 2% error. Additionally, the calibration procedure for TIMS to convert elution voltages into a mobility value corrects for significant deviations (>4%) from Blanc's Law in the elution voltage domain. For the range of gas identities probed in this effort, up to an 11% error in calibrated mobilities was observed when using a gas mixture in the TIMS that differed from the gas used for the reference mobility. However, when the gas mixture within the TIMS was the same as the respective calibrant mobilities, calibration errors within the TIMS were as low as 0.01%. Interestingly, when probing the behavior of ions with argon-containing mixtures within the TIMS, the current accepted paradigm of elution voltage being proportional to inverse mobilities in TIMS calibrations procedures was shown to deviate substantially from the trends observed with DTIMS measurements. With this initial effort, foundations for future mixed drift gas measurements in TIMS are set for expanded analyte classes and larger molecules.

Abstract
The identification of metabolites in biological samples is challenging due to their chemical and structural diversity. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) separates ionized molecules based on their mobility in a carrier buffer gas giving information about the ionic shape by measuring the rotationally averaged collision cross-section (CCS) value. This orthogonal descriptor, in combination with the m/z, isotopic pattern distribution, and MS/MS spectrum, has the potential to improve the identification of molecular molecules in complex mixtures. Urine metabolomics can reveal metabolic differences, which arise as a result of a specific disease or in response to therapeutic intervention. It is, however, complicated by the presence of metabolic breakdown products derived from a wide range of lifestyle and diet-related byproducts, many of which are poorly characterized. In this study, we explore the use of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) via LC parallel accumulation with serial fragmentation (PASEF) for urine metabolomics. A total of 362 urine metabolites were characterized from 80 urine samples collected from healthy volunteers using untargeted metabolomics employing HILIC and RP chromatography. Additionally, three analytes (Trp, Phe, and Tyr) were selected for targeted quantification. Both the untargeted and targeted data was highly reproducible and reported CCS measurements for identified metabolites were robust in the presence of the urine matrix. A comparison of CCS values among different laboratories was also conducted, showing less than 1.3% ΔCCS values across different platforms. This is the first report of a human urine metabolite database compiled with CCS values experimentally acquired using an LC-PASEF TIMS-qTOF platform.

Abstract
The detection and unambiguous identification of anabolic-androgenic steroid metabolites are essential in clinical, forensic, and antidoping analyses. Recently, sulfate phase II steroid metabolites have received increased attention in steroid metabolism and drug testing. In large part, this is because phase II steroid metabolites are excreted for an extended time, making them a potential long-term chemical marker of choice for tracking steroid misuse in sports. Comprehensive analytical methods, such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), have been used to detect and identify glucuronide and sulfate steroids in human urine with high sensitivity and reliability. However, LC-MS/MS identification strategies can be hindered by the fact that phase II steroid metabolites generate nonselective ion fragments across the different metabolite markers, limiting the confidence in metabolite identifications that rely on exact mass measurement and MS/MS information. Additionally, liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) is sometimes insufficient at fully resolving the analyte peaks from the sample matrix (commonly urine) chemical noise, further complicating accurate identification efforts. Therefore, we developed a liquid chromatography-ion mobility-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-IM-HRMS) method to increase the peak capacity and utilize the IM-derived collision cross section (CCS) values as an additional molecular descriptor for increased selectivity and to improve identifications of intact steroid analyses at low concentrations.
