Abstract
Analysis of new psychoactive substances (NPS), which is essential for toxicological and forensic reasons, can be made complicated by the presence of isomers. Ion mobility has been used as a standalone technique or coupled to mass spectrometry to detect and identify NPS. However, isomer separation has so far chiefly relied on chromatography. Here we report on the determination of isomeric ratios using cyclic ion mobility-mass spectrometry without any chromatographic separation. Isomers were distinguished by mobility separation of lithium adducts. Alternatively, we used arrival time distribution (ATD) profiles that were characteristic of individual isomers and were acquired for protonated molecules or fragment ions. Both approaches provided comparable results. Calculations were used to determine the structures and collision cross sections of both protonated and lithiated isomers that accurately characterized their ion mobility properties. The applicability of ATD profiles to isomer differentiation was demonstrated using direct infusion and flow injection analysis with electrospray of solutions, as well as desorption electrospray of solid samples. Data processing was performed by applying multiple linear regression to the ATD profiles. Using the proposed ATD profile-based approach, the relationships between the determined and given content of isomers showed good linearity with coefficients of determination typically greater than 0.99. Flow injection analysis using an autosampler allowed us to rapidly determine isomeric ratios in a sample containing two isomeric pairs with a minor isomer of 10% (determined 9.3% of 3-MMC and 11.0% of 3-FMC in a mixture with buphedrone and 4-FMC). The proposed approach is not only useful for NPS, but also may be applicable to small isomeric molecules analyzed by ion mobility when complete separation of isomers is not achieved.

Abstract
A mild and efficient reduction of negatively charged glucuronate units of hyaluronic acid (HA) into less polar glucose units has not been reported yet. However, this modification could significantly affect physical and chemical properties. Here we show a one-pot procedure where HA is converted into its derivate with carboxyl groups reduced to primary alcohols (HA-Red) without severe polymer degradation. Optimized synthesis aimed at aqueous solutions allowed the preparation of polysaccharides with molecular weights up to 1000 kDa. The chemical structure of HA-Red was proved by 2-dimensional NMR methodologies, FT-IR, LC-MS and SECMALLS. The final materials were exposed to a higher temperature or digested with bovine testicular hyaluronidase (BTH). Obtained data proved higher stability of HA-Red compared to HA, and significant dependence of stability on the degree of modification was observed in most cases. Preliminary in vitro studies showed no negative effects of HA-Red on the growth of 3T3 fibroblasts, which may be promising for applications requiring biodegradable and biocompatible HA derivatives with increased resistance to degradation.

Abstract
d(GCGAAGC) is the smallest oligonucleotide with a well-defined hairpin structure in solution. We report a study of multiply protonated d(GCGAAGC) and its sequence-scrambled isomers, d(CGAAGCG), d(GCGAACG), and d(CGGAAGC), that were produced by electrospray ionization with the goal of investigating their gas-phase structures and dissociations. Cyclic ion mobility measurements revealed that dications of d(GCGAAGC) as well as the scrambled-sequence ions were mixtures of protomers and/or conformers that had collision cross sections (CCS) within a 439-481 Å2 range. Multiple ion conformers were obtained by electrospray under native conditions as well as from aqueous methanol. Arrival time distribution profiles were characteristic of individual isomeric heptanucleotides. Extensive Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of d(GCGAAGC)2+ isomers indicated that hairpin structures were high-energy isomers of more compact distorted conformers. Protonation caused a break up of the C2···G6 pair that was associated with the formation of strong hydrogen bonds in zwitterionic phosphate anion-nucleobase cation motifs that predominated in low energy ions. Multiple components were also obtained for d(GCGAAGC)3+ trications under native and denaturing electrospray conditions. The calculated trication structures showed disruption of the G···C pairs in low energy zwitterions. A hairpin trication was calculated to be a high energy isomer. d(GCGAAGC)4+ tetracations were produced and separated by c-IMS as two major isomers. All low energy d(GCGAAGC)4+ ions obtained by DFT geometry optimizations were zwitterions in which all five purine bases were protonated, and the ion charge was balanced by a phosphate anion. Tetracations of the scrambled sequences were each formed as one dominant isomer. The CCS calculated with the MobCal-MPI method were found to closely match experimental values. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of multiply charged heptanucleotides showed nucleobase loss and backbone cleavages occurring chiefly at the terminal nucleosides. Electron-transfer-CID tandem mass spectra were used to investigate dissociations of different charge and spin states of charge-reduced heptanucleotide cation radicals.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2023; 37:e9429.

Abstract
RATIONALE The existing particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are only effective in deconvoluting the overlapping peaks in ion mobility spectra with fewer than four component peaks, which limits the applicability of these algorithms. METHODS A high-performance two-step particle swarm optimization (TSPSO) algorithm was developed. Compared to the existing PSO algorithms, TSPSO can narrow the search ranges of all coefficients for the overlapping peaks through Gaussian model calculation, and thus can deconvolute various overlapping peaks with high accuracy, even for 30-component overlapping peaks. In addition, the TSPSO could be further applied to enhance the resolution of the spectra by narrowing the peak widths after the peak deconvolution. RESULTS Simulated overlapping peaks were first used to evaluate the performance of TSPSO as compared to the dynamic inertia weight particle swarm optimization (DIWPSO) algorithm. The results showed that the profiles of the peaks deconvoluted by using TSPSO were more consistent with the original ones. The fitness values and the standard deviations of the fitness values from TSPSO were also at least an order of magnitude less than those from DIWPSO. By applying TSPSO, the overlapping peaks from both mass spectrometry (MS) and field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) spectra can also be well deconvoluted. In addition, the resolutions of the MS and FAIMS spectra can be effectively enhanced after peak deconvolution. The enhanced spectra matched excellently with the experimental ones acquired at high-resolution modes. CONCLUSIONS The experiment results convincingly demonstrate that the TSPSO algorithm is capable of both deconvoluting complex overlapping peaks and enhancing the spectrum resolution with high accuracy.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2023; 37:e9379.

Abstract
RATIONALE Because of its powerful analytical ability, ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) plays an important role in the field of mass spectrometry. However, one of the main defects of IMS is its low structural resolution, which leads to the phenomenon of peak overlap in the analysis of compounds with similar mass charge ratio. METHODS A multiobjective dynamic teaching-learning-based optimization (MDTLBO) method was proposed to separate IMS overlapping peaks. This method prevents local optimization and identifies peak model coefficients efficiently. In addition, the position information of particles largely reflects the half-peak width of IMS, which makes single peaks difficult to appear and coefficient identification easier. RESULTS The performance comparison of MDTLBO with other deconvolution methods (genetic algorithm, improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, and dynamic inertia weight particle swarm optimization algorithm) shows that the maximum deconvolution error of MDTLBO is only 0.7%, which is much lower than that for the other three methods. In addition, robustness is a performance index that reflects the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm. CONCLUSION MBTLBO is more robust than other algorithms for separating overlapping peaks. The algorithm can separate the heavily overlapped mobility peaks, produce better analysis results, and improve the resolution of IMS.

Abstract
This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2018. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to glycan and glycoprotein analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, new methods, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and the use of arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides, and biopharmaceuticals. Most of the applications are presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions, and applications to chemical synthesis. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and highlights the impact that MALDI imaging is having across a range of diciplines. MALDI is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and the range of applications continue steady progress.

Abstract
Ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) currently serves as a powerful tool for the structural identification of numerous biological compounds and small molecules. In this work, rapid metabolomic analysis of closely-related herbal medicines by direct injection ion mobility-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (DI-IM-QTOF MS) was established. Phellodendron chinense Bark (PC) and Phellodendron amurense Bark (PA) were studied as a case. Thirty-three batches of PC and twenty-two batches of PA have been directly injected in electrospray ionization-IM-QTOF MS in positive mode. Without chromatographic separation, each run was completed within 3 min. After data alignment and statistical analysis, a total of seven chemical markers were found (p-value < 0.05, VIP > 1.00). Among them, the ion m/z 342.17 and m/z 356.18 present a single peak in the drift spectrum, respectively, but their drift time has a certain deviation compared with the pure substance of known compounds. In addition, the MS/MS spectra also confirmed that the single peak includes two chemical isomers. To investigate the composition ratio of individual isomers, the calibration curves of relative drift time (rDT) based on the standard superposition method were established, which were found to fit the least square regression. The ion [M]+m/z 342.17 was recognized consisting of magnoflorine (MAG) and phellodendrine (PHE), and their composition ratio in PA and PC samples was calculated. The results were compared with those obtained by the HPLC quantitative method, which produced equivalent quantification results. Our DI-IM-QTOF MS methodology provides an additional methodology for the relative quantification of unresolved isomers in drift tube IM-MS and offers DI-IM-QTOF MS based metabolomics.

Abstract
RATIONALE Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful analytical tool that has been widely applied in many fields. However, the limited structural resolution of IMS results in peak overlapping in the analysis of samples with similar structures. We propose a novel method, improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO), for the separation of IMS overlapping peaks. METHODS This method, which prevents local optimization, is used to identify the peak model coefficients of IMS. Moreover, we use the half-peak width characteristics of IMS to determine the particle position range, which eliminates impossible combinations of single peaks and reduces the difficulty of identification of coefficients. RESULTS During a comparison in performance between IPSO and the genetic algorithm (GA), the results show that the maximum separation error of IPSO is only 1.45%, while the error of the GA is up to 17.43%. Moreover, the time consumed by IPSO is 95% less than that of the GA, and IPSO has a greater robustness under the same separation error conditions. CONCLUSIONS The method proposed provides accurate analytical results in separating overlapping IMS peaks even in cases of severe overlaps, which greatly enhances the structural resolution of IMS.

Abstract
Ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) holds great potential for structural glycobiology, in particular in its ability to resolve glycan isomers. Generally, IM-MS has largely been applied to intact glycoconjugate ions with reports focusing on the separation of different adduct types. Here, we explore IM separation and report the collision cross section (CCS) of complex type N-glycans and their fragments in negative ion mode following collision-induced dissociation (CID). CCSs of isomeric fragment ions were found, in some cases, to reveal structural details that were not present in CID spectra themselves. Many fragment ions were confirmed as possessing multiple structure, details of which could be obtained by comparing their drift time profiles to different glycans. By using fragmentation both before and after mobility separation, information was gathered on the fragmentation pathways producing some of the ions. These results help demonstrate the utility of IM and will contribute to the growing use of IM-MS for glycomics. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
