Abstract
Design-of-experiment (DOE) approaches, originally conceived by Fischer, are widely applied in industry, particularly in the context of production for which they have been greatly expended. In a research and development context, DOE can be of great use for method development. Specifically, DOE can greatly speed up instrument parameter optimization by first identifying parameters that are critical to a given outcome, showing parameter interdependency where it occurs and accelerating optimization of said parameters using matrices of experimental conditions. While DOE approaches have been applied in mass spectrometry experiments, they have so far failed to gain widespread adoption. This could be attributed to the fact that DOE can get quite complex and daunting to the everyday user. Here we make the case that a subset of DOE tools, hereafter called SimpleDOE (sDOE), can make DOE accessible and useful to the Mass Spectrometry community at large. We illustrate the progressive gains from a purely manual approach to sDOE through a stepwise optimization of parameters affecting the efficiency of top-down ETD fragmentation of proteins on a high-resolution Q-TOF mass spectrometer, where the aim is to maximize sequence coverage of fragmentation events.

Abstract
The identification and localization of isomeric peptide modifications is a critical requirement of the biopharmaceutical industry. Despite the ability of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify many of the common post translational modifications, the identification of isobaric or racemized peptides is confounded by modern mass spectrometry-based techniques. Here, we present a novel approach combining liquid chromatography with a high-resolution ion mobility mass spectrometry system to differentiate peptide and peptide fragments based upon their mobility and mass.

Abstract
Two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2D MS) is a data-independent tandem mass spectrometry technique in which precursor and fragment ion species can be correlated without the need for prior ion isolation. The behavior of phase in 2D Fourier transform mass spectrometry is investigated with respect to the calculation of phase-corrected absorption-mode 2D mass spectra. 2D MS datasets have a phase that is defined differently in each dimension. In both dimensions, the phase behavior of precursor and fragment ions is found to be different. The dependence of the phase for both precursor and fragment ion signals on various parameters (e.g., modulation frequency, shape of the fragmentation zone) is discussed. Experimental data confirms the theoretical calculations of the phase in each dimension. Understanding the phase relationships in a 2D mass spectrum is beneficial to the development of possible algorithms for phase correction, which may improve both the signal-to-noise ratio and the resolving power of peaks in 2D mass spectra.

Comparative analysis of constitutes and metabolites for traditional Chinese medicine using IDA and SWATH data acquisition modes on LC-Q-TOF MS. J Pharm Anal 2019; 10:588-596. [PMID: 33425453 PMCID: PMC7775849 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2019.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2019] [Revised: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 11/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Identification of components and metabolites of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) employing liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF MS) techniques with information-dependent acquisition (IDA) approaches is increasingly frequent. A current drawback of IDA-MS is that the complexity of a sample might prevent important compounds from being triggered in IDA settings. Sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATH) is a data-independent acquisition (DIA) method where the instrument deterministically fragments all precursor ions within the predefined m/z range in a systematic and unbiased fashion. Herein, the superiority of SWATH on the detection of TCMs’ components was firstly investigated by comparing the detection efficiency of SWATH-MS and IDA-MS data acquisition modes, and sanguisorbin extract was used as a mode TCM. After optimizing the setting parameters of SWATH, rolling collision energy (CE) and variable Q1 isolation windows were found to be more efficient for sanguisorbin identification than the fixed CE and fixed Q1 isolation window. More importantly, the qualitative efficiency of SWATH-MS on sanguisorbins was found significantly higher than that of IDA-MS data acquisition. In IDA mode, 18 kinds of sanguisorbins were detected in sanguisorbin extract. A total of 47 sanguisorbins were detected when SWATH-MS was used under rolling CE and flexible Q1 isolation window modes. Besides, 26 metabolites of sanguisorbins were identified in rat plasma, and their metabolic pathways could be deduced as decarbonylation, oxidization, reduction, methylation, and glucuronidation according to their fragmental ions acquired in SWATH-MS mode. Thus, SWATH-MS data acquisition could provide more comprehensive information for the component and metabolite identification for TCMs than IDA-MS. SWATH was first used to identify components and metabolites of TCMs. Superiority of SWATH on the detection of TCM was firstly investigated. The number of components detected by SWATH was greatly higher than IDA.

Abstract
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass analysers (FT-ICR MS) can offer the highest resolutions and mass accuracies in mass spectrometry. Mass spectra acquired in an FT-ICR MS can yield accurate elemental compositions of all compounds in a complex sample. Fragmentation caused by ion-neutral, ion-electron, or ion-photon interactions leads to more detailed structural information on compounds. The most often used method to correlate compounds and their fragment ions is to isolate the precursor ions from the sample before fragmentation. Two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2D MS) offers a method to correlate precursor and fragment ions without requiring precursor isolation. 2D MS therefore enables easy access to the fragmentation patterns of all compounds from complex samples. In this article, the principles of FT-ICR MS are reviewed and the 2D MS experiment is explained. Data processing for 2D MS is detailed, and the interpretation of 2D mass spectra is described.

Abstract
Gibberellic acid elicited synthesis of many phenols from different classes and enhanced production of sesquiterpenoids, polyterpenoids, steroids and monoterpenoids compared to control and 6-benzylaminopurine. Little is known about the effects of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) on the synthesis of secondary metabolites in species of Lamiaceae. In this study, for the first time, the profile of secondary metabolites in plantlets of Cunila menthoides was characterized, using UPLC-ESI-Qq-oaTOF-MS. Ninety metabolites were identified, including polyphenols and terpenes. BA down-regulated most of the identified molecules in relation to GA3 and MS0 (control). The results showed that GA3 elicited synthesis of many phenols from different classes, and seemed to play a major role in the shikimate pathway in relation to BA. GA3 enhanced production of sesquiterpenoids, polyterpenoids, steroids and monoterpenoids compared to MS0 and BA, and also seemed to positively influence the MEP/DOXP and MVA pathways. These data show the most comprehensive metabolomic profile of Cunila menthoides to date, and the effects of BA and GA3 on the synthesis of secondary metabolites, modulating quantitative aspects of metabolism in Lamiaceae.
