Abstract
Protein adducts are vital targets for exploring organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) exposure and identification, that can be used to characterize the chemical burden and initiate chemical safety measures. However, the use of protein adducts as biomarkers of OPNA exposure has developed slowly. To further promote the development of biomarkers in chemical forensics, it is crucial to expand the range of modified peptides and active sites, and describe the characteristics of OPNA adducts at specific reaction sites. This study utilized multi-species and multi-source albumins as the protein targets. We identified 56 peptides in albumins from various species (including human, horse, rat and pig), that were modified by at least two OPNAs. Diverse modification characteristics were observed in response to certain agents: including (1) multiple sites on the same peptide modified by one or more agents, (2) different reactivities at the same site in homologous albumins, and (3) different preferences at the same active sites associated with differences in the biological matrix during exposure. Our studies provided an empirical reference with rationalized underpinnings supported by estimated conformation energetics through molecular modeling. We employed different peptide markers for detection of protein adducts, as (one would do) in forensic screening for identification and quantification of chemical damage. Three characteristic peptides were screened and analyzed in human albumin, including Y287ICENQDSISSK, K438VPQVS443TPTLVEVSR, and Y162LY164EIAR. Stable fragment ions with neutral loss were found from their tandem MS/MS spectra, which were used as characteristic ions for identification and extraction of modified peptides in enzymatic digestion mixtures. Coupling these observations with computer simulations, we found that the structural stability of albumin and albumin-adduct complexes (as well as the effective force that promotes stability of different adducts) changes in the interval before and after adduct formation. In pig albumin, five active peptides existed stably in vivo and in vitro. Most of them can be detected within 30 min after OPNA exposure, and the detection window can persist about half a month. These early findings provided the foundation and rationale for utilizing pig albumin as a sampling target for rapid analysis in future forensic work.

Application of chemical attribution in matching OPNAs-exposed biological samples with exposure sources- based on the impurity profiles via GC × GC-TOFMS analysis. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1718:464718.

Abstract
Chemical attribution is a vital tool to attribute chemicals or related materials to their origins in chemical forensics via various chemometric methods. Current progress related to organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) has mainly focused on the attribution of chemical sources and synthetic pathways. It has not yet been applied in matching exposed biological samples to their sources. This work used chemical attribution to explore organic impurity profiles in biological samples exposed to various OPNAs. Chemical attribution was first used to identify the exposure source of biological samples based on the full-scan data via comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (GC × GC-TOFMS). Taking peak area as the only variable, it can quickly match exposed samples to their sources by applying unsupervised or supervised models, screen difference compounds via one-way ANOVA or t-tests, and then identify valuable impurities that can distinguish different types of exposed samples. To further obtain the impurity profile only applicable to a certain weapon' samples, the irrelevant components were removed via conventional methods. The findings showed there were 53 impurities that can promote distinguishing six groups of OPNA exposed samples, as well as 42 components that can be used as valuable impurities to distinguish class G and class V samples. These were all unique impurities that appear in a certain weapon' samples. The outcomes can be a reference for tracing the source for OPNA-exposed samples, which was beneficial to the further development in source matching of forensic samples. Moreover, the chemical attribution for impurity profiles in biological samples after weapons exposure may inspire research into the characteristics of impurity profile in biological samples as well as practical applications of chemical attribution for OPNA-exposed samples, that may expand potential biomarkers and break the limits of existing markers in the future.

Abstract
Capillary- and micro-flow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (capLC-MS/MS and μLC-MS/MS) is becoming a valuable alternative to nano-flow LC-MS/MS due to its high robustness and throughput. The systematic comparison of capLC-MS/MS and μLC-MS/MS systems for global proteome profiling has not been reported yet. Here, the capLC-MS/MS (150 μm i.d. column, 1 μL/min) and μLC-MS/MS (1 mm i.d. column, 50 μL/min) systems were both established based on UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano coupled to an Orbitrap Exploris 240 by integrating with different flowmeters. We evaluated both systems in terms of sensitivity, analysis throughput, separation efficiency, and robustness. capLC-MS/MS was about 10 times more sensitive than μLC-MS/MS at different gradient lengths. Compared with capLC-MS/MS, μLC-MS/MS was able to achieve higher analysis throughput and separation efficiency. During the 7 days' long-term performance test, both systems showed good reproducibility of chromatographic full width (RSD < 3%), retention time (RSD < 0.4%), and protein identification (RSD < 3%). These results demonstrate that capLC-MS/MS is more suitable for high-throughput analysis of clinical samples with a limited starting material. When enough samples are available, μLC-MS/MS is preferred. Together, capLC and μLC coupled to Orbitrap Exploris 240 with moderate sensitivity should well meet the needs of large-cohort clinical proteomic analysis.

Abstract
Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) that damage the central nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity, pose severe threats to human health and life security. Reliable biomarkers that quickly and accurately detect OPNAs exposure are urgently needed to help diagnose quickly and treat in time. Albumins that covalently bind to OPNAs could serve as important targets for retrospective verification of OPNAs exposure. The goal of this study is to explore the potential biomarkers in albumins with high reactivity and good stability and expand the group of potential biomarkers in different species for detecting the exposure of V-type OPNAs including O-ethyl S-(2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl) methylphosphonothioate (VX), O-isobutyl S-(2(diethylamino)ethyl) methylphosphonothioate (VR), and O-butyl S-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl) methylphosphonothioate (Vs). Taking human serum albumin (HSA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and rabbit serum albumin (RSA) as the research objectives, multiple active sites including phosphonylation and disulfide adduct sites were observed in albumins from different species. Numerous phosphonylation sites labeled by all agents in one type of albumin were found. Among the different species, four shared phosphonylation sites with high reactivity include K499, K549, K249, and Y108. In addition, Y108 on ETY*GEMADCCAK, Y287 on Y*ICENQDSISSK, Y377 on TY*ETTLEK and Y164 on YLY*EIAR in HSA were stably phosphonylated by all agents in gradient concentration, making them stable and suitable potential biomarkers for V-type OPNAs exposure. Notably, Y108 on ETY*GEMADCCAK in HSA, on DTY*GDVADCCEK in RSA, and on ETY*GDMADCCEK in BSA were highly reactive to all V-type agents, regardless of species. It was also successfully labeled in HSA exposed to class V agents in gradient concentration. Y108 is expected to be used to screen and identify the exposure of V-type agents in the retrospective research. Disulfide adducts sites, consisted of four sites in HSA and two sites in BSA were also successfully labeled by V-type agents, and characteristic ion fragments from these disulfide adducts were also identified by secondary mass spectrometry. Molecular simulation of the stably modified sites were conducted to discover the promoting factors of covalent adduct formation, which help further clarify formation mechanism of albumin adducts at active sites.

Abstract
Chlorine is a widely available industrial chemical and involved in a substantial number of cases of poisoning. It has also been used as a chemical warfare agent in military conflicts. To enable forensic verification, the persistent biomarkers 3-chlorotyrosine and 3,5-dichlorotyrosine in biomedical samples could be detected. An important shortfall of these biomarkers, however, is the relatively high incidence of elevated levels of chlorinated tyrosine residues in individuals with inflammatory diseases who have not been exposed to chlorine. Therefore, more reliable biomarkers are necessary to distinguish between endogenous formation and exogeneous exposure. The present study aims to develop a novel diagnostic tool for identifying site-specific chlorinated peptides as a more unambiguous indicator of exogeneous chlorine exposure. Human blood plasma was exposed in vitro to various chlorine concentrations, and the plasma proteins were subsequently digested by pronase, trypsin, or pepsin. After sample preparation, the digests were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS). In line with other studies, low levels of 3-chlorotyrosine and 3,5-dichlorotyrosine were found in blank plasma samples in this study. Therefore, 50 site-specific biomarkers were identified, which could be used as more unambiguous biomarkers for chlorine exposure. Chlorination of the peptides TY*ETTLEK, Y*KPGQTVK, Y*QQKPGQAPR, HY*EGSTVPEK, and Y*LY*EIAR could already be detected at moderate in vitro chlorine exposure levels. In addition, the latter two peptides were found to have dichlorinated fragments. Especially, Y*LY*EIAR, with a distinct chlorination pattern in the MS spectra, could potentially be used to differentiate exogeneous exposure from endogenous causes as other studies reported that this part of human serum albumin is nitrated rather than chlorinated under physiological conditions. In conclusion, trypsin digestion combined with high-resolution MS analysis of chlorinated peptides could constitute a valuable technique for the forensic verification of exposure to chlorine.

Abstract
The present study was intended to develop suitable methods for unambiguous identification and determination of ethyl (1-(diethylamino)ethylidene) phosphoramidofluoridate (known as A234-Novichok) biomarkers in urine and plasma samples. Multiple biomarkers were investigated for the first time, to verify intoxication by the A234-Novichok agent, using sensitive and accurate techniques including gas and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS). Like other nerve agents, in biological matrices, the A234-Novichok agent reacts with several proteins to form related adducts. Considering this, two different protein adduct biomarkers in blood samples were analyzed, and the regenerated A234 was determined. Two-dimensional chromatography and solid-phase extraction techniques were employed for blood sample preparation. Limits of detection for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) adduct, the regenerated A234, and albumin covalent adduct were determined and reported as 1, 1, and 10 ng mL-1, while the related calibration curves were linear within the range of 2-100, 2-100, and 15-100 ng mL-1, respectively. The detection limit and linear range for the intact agent in the urine sample were determined as 0.1 and 1-100 ng mL-1, respectively. Since A234 and some other Novichok chemicals have been added to the Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), Annex on Chemicals, after UK incidents, the analytical methods developed in this work might be used for verification purposes, as well as OPCW Biomedical Proficiency Tests.

Abstract
RATIONALE Organophosphorus nerve agents are highly toxic because they inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, thereby causing a series of symptomatic poisoning. Upon entering the body, nerve agents bind active amino acid residues to form phosphonylated adducts. A potentially beneficial method for specific verification of exposure of nerve agents is based on albumin adducts, which have a half-life of 18 days. This appears to be more effective than the fluoride reactivation method, based on acetylcholinesterase. METHODS After the exposure of human serum albumin to nine nerve agents, human serum albumin was denatured, reduced, alkylated and digested with trypsin according to standard mass spectrometry-based proteomics procedures. The phosphonylated peptides of human serum albumin were identified using positive ion electrospray ionization with a quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometer. RESULTS The peptide KVPQVSTPTLVESR showed a good mass spectrometric response to the nine nerve agents. The tendency of sarin and cyclosarin was to bind to S419 on the peptide, while the other nerve agents (tabun, soman and V-type nerve agents) were shown to bind more readily to K414 on the peptide. CONCLUSIONS This research revealed a new site, S419, of the tryptic peptide KVPQVSTPTLVEVSR on human albumin to be a valuable biomarker for sarin/cyclosarin exposure, helping to further distinguish sarin and cyclosarin poisoning from that of other nerve agents and providing an important tool for the identification of sarin or cyclosarin in terrorist attacks.

Abstract
The emitter clogging is the most common hardware failure of nano-electrospray ionization, to improve the durability and electrospray stability of fused silica emitters, we demonstrate a means of fabricating nano-electrospray emitters with controllable aperture size and gradually-narrowed channel on the tip. We simulated the fluid morphologies in the emitter channels by computational fluid dynamics and found more stable flow on aperture-controllable nano-electrospray emitter. Besides, we found the unstable flow sections of commercial emitters match the actual clogging sections very well, indicating the main cause of emitter clogging is unstable flow. We further tested the emitters by nano-LC-MS based proteome analysis. Compared with the commercial emitter, aperture-controllable nano-electrospray emitters promoted the total ion chromatogram intensity by 25%, the number of identified proteins by 6.58%, and the number of identified peptides by 7.87%. In total, 989 proteins were identified from 1 μg of extracted mouse cardiac proteins. After the optimization by using mouse samples, we analyzed clinical auricular dextral tissues from patients undergoing cardiac surgery and found 16 proteins related to atrial fibrillation. Overall, aperture-controllable nano-electrospray emitter exhibits better sensitivity and reproducibility in the application of nano-LC-MS cardiac proteome analysis.
