Abstract
Adulteration and mislabeling have become a very common global malpractice in food industry. Especially foods of animal origin are prepared from plant sources and intentionally mislabeled. This type of mislabeling is an important concern in food safety as the replaced ingredients may cause a food allergy or toxicity to vulnerable consumers. Moreover, foodborne pathogens also pose a major threat to food safety. There is a dire need to develop strong analytical tools to deal with related issues. In this context, proteomics stands out as a promising tool used to report the aforementioned issues. The development in the field of omics has inimitable advantages in enabling the understanding of various biological fields especially in the discipline of food science. In this review, current applications and the role of proteomics in food authenticity, safety, and quality and food traceability are highlighted comprehensively. Additionally, the other components of proteomics have also been comprehensively described. Furthermore, this review will be helpful in the provision of new intuition into the use of proteomics in food analysis. Moreover, the pathogens in food can also be identified based on differences in their protein profiling. Conclusively, proteomics, an indicator of food properties, its origin, the processes applied to food, and its composition are also the limelight of this article.

Abstract
Characterization and monitoring of post-translational modifications (PTMs) by peptide mapping is a ubiquitous assay in biopharmaceutical characterization. Often, this assay is coupled to reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) separations that require long gradients to identify all components of the protein digest and resolve critical modifications for relative quantitation. Incorporating ion mobility (IM) as an orthogonal separation that relies on peptide structure can supplement the LC separation by providing an additional differentiation filter to resolve isobaric peptides, potentially reducing ambiguity in identification through mobility-aligned fragmentation and helping to reduce the run time of peptide mapping assays. A next-generation high-resolution ion mobility (HRIM) technique, based on structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) technology with a 13 m ion path, provides peak capacities and higher resolving power that rivals traditional chromatographic separations and, owing to its ability to resolve isobaric peptides that coelute in faster chromatographic methods, allows for up to 3× shorter run times than conventional peptide mapping methods. In this study, the NIST monoclonal antibody IgG1κ (NIST RM 8671, NISTmAb) was characterized by LC-HRIM-MS and LC-HRIM-MS with collision-induced dissociation (HRIM-CID-MS) using a 20 min analytical method. This approach delivered a sequence coverage of 96.5%. LC-HRIM-CID-MS experiments provided additional confidence in sequence determination. HRIM-MS resolved critical oxidations, deamidations, and isomerizations that coelute with their native counterparts in the chromatographic dimension. Finally, quantitative measurements of % modification were made using only the m/z-extracted HRIM arrival time distributions, showing good agreement with the reference liquid-phase separation. This study shows, for the first time, the analytical capability of HRIM using SLIM technology for enhancing peptide mapping workflows relevant to biopharmaceutical characterization.

Abstract
The degradation of proteins by asparagine deamidation and aspartate isomerization is one of several chemical degradation pathways for recombinant antibodies. In this study, we have identified two solvent accessible degradation sites (light chain aspartate-56 and heavy chain aspartate-99/101) in the complementary-determining regions of a recombinant IgG1 antibody susceptible to isomerization under elevated temperature conditions. For both hot-spots, the degree of isomerization was found to be significantly higher than the deamidation of asparagine-(387, 392, 393) in the conserved CH3 region, which has been identified as being solvent accessible and sensitive to chemical degradation in previous studies. In order to reduce the time for simultaneous identification and functional evaluation of potential asparagine deamidation and aspartate isomerization sites, a test system employing accelerated temperature conditions and proteolytic peptide mapping combined with quantitative UPLC-MS was developed. This method occupies the formulation buffer system histidine/HCl (20 mM; pH 6.0) for denaturation/reduction/digestion and eliminates the alkylation step. The achieved degree of asparagine deamidation and aspartate isomerization was adequate to identify the functional consequence by binding studies. In summary, the here presented approach greatly facilitates the evaluation of fermentation, purification, formulation, and storage conditions on antibody asparagine deamidation and aspartate isomerization by monitoring susceptible marker peptides located in the complementary-determining regions of recombinant antibodies.

Abstract
Proteomic strategies are herein proved to be a complementary approach to the well established amino acid composition analysis for the characterization of the aging and deterioration phenomena occurring to proteinaceous materials in works-of-art. Amino acid analyses on several samples demonstrated that proteins in the frescoes from the Camposanto Monumentale in Pisa are deteriorated as revealed by the decrease in Met, Lys, and Tyr content and by the presence in all the samples of amino malonic acid as a result of Ser, Phe, and Cys oxidation. Proteomic analysis identified deamidation at Asn and Gln as a further major event occurred. This work paves the way to the exploitation of proteomic strategies for the investigation of the molecular effects of aging and deterioration in historical objects. Results show that proteomic searches for deamidation by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) could constitute a routine analysis for paintings or any artistic and historic objects where proteins are present. Peptides that can be used as molecular markers when casein is present were identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recent discovery and specific functions of D-amino acids in humans are bound to lead to the revelation of D-amino acid abnormalities in human disorders. Therefore, high-throughput analysis techniques are warranted to determine D-amino acids in biological fluids in a routine laboratory setting. METHODS We developed 2 chromatographic techniques, a nonchiral derivatization with chiral (chirasil-L-val column) separation in a GC-MS system and a chiral derivatization with Marfey's reagent and LC- MS analysis. We validated the techniques for D-serine, L-serine, and glycine determination in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), evaluated several confounders, and determined age-dependent human concentration ranges. RESULTS Quantification limits for D-serine, L-serine, and glycine in cerebrospinal fluid were 0.14, 0.44, and 0.14 micromol/L, respectively, for GC-MS and 0.20, 0.41, and 0.14 micromol/L for LC-MS. Within-run imprecision was <3% for both methods, and between-run imprecision was <13%. Comparison of both techniques with Deming regression yielded coefficients of 0.90 (D-serine), 0.92 (L-serine), and 0.96 (glycine). Sample collection, handling, and transport is uncomplicated-there is no rostrocaudal CSF gradient, no effect of storage at 4 degrees C for 1 week before storage at -80 degrees C, and no effect of up to 3 freeze/thaw cycles. Conversely, contamination with erythrocytes increased D-serine, L-serine, and glycine concentrations. CSF concentrations for 145 apparently healthy controls demonstrated markedly and specifically increased (5 to 9 times) D-serine concentrations during early central nervous system development. CONCLUSIONS These 2 clinically applicable analysis techniques will help to unravel pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic issues for disorders associated with central nervous system abnormalities, NMDA-receptor dysfunction, and other pathology associated with D-amino acids.

Abstract
Nonenzymatic deamidation of asparagine residues in proteins generates aspartyl (Asp) and isoaspartyl (isoAsp) residues via a succinimide intermediate in a neutral or basic environment. Electron capture dissociation (ECD) can differentiate and quantify the relative abundance of these isomeric products in the deamidated proteins. This method requires the proteins to be digested, usually by trypsin, into peptides that are amenable to ECD. ECD of these peptides can produce diagnostic ions for each isomer; the c. + 58 and z - 57 fragment ions for the isoAsp residue and the fragment ion ((M + nH)((n-1)+.) - 60) corresponding to the side-chain loss from the Asp residue. However, deamidation can also occur as an artifact during sample preparation, particularly when using typical tryptic digestion protocols. With 18O labeling, it is possible to differentiate deamidation occurring during trypsin digestion which causes a +3 Da (18O1 + 1D) mass shift from the pre-existing deamidation, which leads to a +1-Da mass shift. This paper demonstrates the use of (18)O labeling to monitor three rapidly deamidating peptides released from proteins (calmodulin, ribonuclease A, and lysozyme) during the time course of trypsin digestion processes, and shows that the fast (approximately 4 h) trypsin digestion process generates no additional detectable peptide deamidations.

Abstract
Therapeutic proteins produced using recombinant DNA technologies are generally complex, heterogeneous, and subject to a variety of enzymatic or chemical modifications during expression, purification, and long-term storage. The use of mass spectrometry (MS) for the evaluation of recombinant protein sequence and structure provides detailed information regarding amino acid modifications and sequence alterations that have the potential to affect the safety and activity of therapeutic protein products. General MS approaches for the characterization of recombinant therapeutic protein products will be reviewed with particular attention given to the standard MS tools available in most biotechnology laboratories. A number of recent examples will be used to illustrate the utility of MS strategies for evaluation of recombinant protein heterogeneity resulting from post-translational modifications (PTMs), sequence variations generated from proteolysis or transcriptional/translational errors, and degradation products which are formed during processing or final product storage. Specific attention will be given to the MS characterization of monoclonal antibodies as a model system for large, glycosylated, recombinant proteins. Detailed examples highlighting the use of MS for the analysis of monoclonal antibody glycosylation, deamidation, and disulfide mapping will be used to illustrate the application of these techniques to a wide variety of heterogeneous therapeutic protein products. The potential use of MS to support the selection of cell line/clone selection and formulation development for therapeutic antibody products will also be discussed.

Abstract
Protective antigen is essential for the pathology of Bacillus anthracis and is the proposed immunogen for an improved human anthrax vaccine. Known since discovery to comprise differentially charged isoforms, the cause of heterogeneity has eluded specific structural definition until now. Recombinant protective antigen (rPA) contains similar isoforms that appear early in fermentation and are mostly removed through purification. By liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry sequencing of the entire protein and inspection of spectral data for amino acid modifications, pharmaceutical rPA contained measurable deamidation at seven of its 68 asparagine residues. A direct association between isoform complexity and percent deamidation was observed such that each decreased with purity and increased with protein aging. Position N537 consistently showed the highest level of modification, although its predicted rate of deamidation ranked 10th by theoretical calculation, and other asparagines of higher predicted rates were observed to be unmodified. rPA with more isoforms and greater deamidation displayed lower activities for furin cleavage, heptamerization, and holotoxin formation. Lethal factor-mediated macrophage toxicity correlated inversely with deamidation at residues N466 and N408. The described method measures deamidation without employing theoretical isotopic distributions, comparison between differentially treated samples or computational predictions of reactivity rates, and is broadly applicable to the characterization of other deamidated proteins.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications of proteins possess key functions in the regulation of various cellular processes. While they facilitate fast, location-specific and transient reactions to changing conditions in the first place they enhance the already high complexity of a cellular proteome by orders of magnitude. Furthermore, they can utterly alter the properties of the modified protein, thus making a timely analysis even more difficult. While several standardized methods for the analysis of protein phosphorylation and glycosylation have been established most other modifications require tailor-made solutions for a comprehensive analysis. Therefore, we will provide guidelines for the analysis of some important posttranslational modifications that are underrepresented in contemporary literature.

Abstract
Stability and structure of recombinant interferon alpha-2b (rHuINF alpha-2b) was studied by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF and Q-TOF MS), chromatography (LC-UV-FLD-DAD, LC-MS) and CD spectroscopy. Besides analysis of the substance according to Ph. Eur. methods, two additional mass spectrometric methods were developed. The aim of both methods was to estimate structure-stability relationship connected to methionine oxidation or protein degradation. Preservation or degradation of protein structure was confirmed by H/D exchange in four separate experiments. Kinetics of deuterium incorporation into macromolecule was monitored over 2670 min. Isoforms of rHuINF alpha-2b were separated by 2D gel electrophoresis. In-gel digestion with trypsin and mass spectrometric analysis, performed on four separated isoforms at the mass corresponding to the mass of rHuINF alpha-2b with oxidized methionines, confirmed oxidation of all methionines to a different extent. Another four isoforms observed in 2D gel are most likely dimers of the same macromolecules with scrambled disulphide bridges. Oxidation and dimerisation are consequences of protein interaction with oxidizing reagents in polyacrilamide gel.

Abstract
After synthesis and folding, proteins undergo many post-synthetic modifications, including cleavage, oxidation, glycosylation, methylation, racemization, phosphorylation, and deamidation. Of these modifications, non-enymatic deamidation is the most prevalent. Each asparaginyl and glutaminyl residue in a protein is a miniature molecular clock that deamidates with a genetically determined half-time. These half-times vary from a few hours to more than a century, depending on a primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure near the amide residue. It has been suggested that these clocks regulate many biological processes. A few such processes have been discovered. These discoveries have been difficult because deamidation is inconvenient to measure. While most post-synthetic changes are easily measured by mass spectrometry, deamidation increases molecular mass by only one nominal Dalton, so the deamidated isotopic envelope overlaps the undeamidated isotopic envelope. While peptide deamidation rate determination through deconvolution of these envelopes has been accomplished for several hundred peptides, deconvolution becomes more difficult as the molecular weight increases. In high-resolution mass spectrometers, this deconvolution is possible for larger molecules and an alternative method based on the 19 mDa mass defect between the deamidated envelope and the isotopic envelope of protein fragments can also be utilized. We herein report a comparison of the envelope deconvolution and the mass defect methods for measurement of deamidation in human eye lens crystallins, with special emphasis on betaB2 crystallin and gammaS crystallin. Measurement of extent of deamidation of betaB2 crystallin in a 7 Tesla ion cyclotron resonance Fourier transform mass spectrometer is found to be accurate to a relative standard deviation in a single measurement of about 4% for each method. The envelope deconvolution method is further illustrated by detection of deamidation in intact gammaS crystallin, a 20 904 Da protein, and discovery of the principal gammaS deamidation site.

Abstract
The high mass accuracy and resolution of Fourier transform (FT)-ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometry are making it an increasingly useful tool in drug discovery and development. The basics of FT-ICR are described here, including modern ion sources and fragmentation methods. Although FT-ICR is not a high-throughput method in the traditional sense, previously difficult and complex problems are being efficiently approached using steadily improving instruments and magnets. Applications are surveyed in fields such as proteomics, metabonomics, natural product analysis and non-covalent complexes.

Abstract
Peptidylarginine deiminase (PADI) is an enzyme which catalyzes conversion of arginine residues into citrulline residues in proteins. Citrullination is known to be related to autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. Previous work in this laboratory succeeded in identifying citrullinated sites of human fibrinogen by mass spectrometry, but discrimination between citrullination and deamidation of asparagines and glutamine required time-consuming and labor-intensive inspection of tandem mass spectra. In this work a stable isotope is utilized to improve on a previous method for the determination of citrullinated sites by mass spectrometry. Since an oxygen atom is incorporated into the citrulline residue from H(2)O in citrullination by PADI, peptides citrullinated in 50% H(2)(18)O would show a characteristic isotope distribution different from natural abundance, and thus determination of citrullinated sites is expected to be much easier. To verify the utility of this new method, the sites of citrullination of human fibrinogen by human PADI4 were investigated using 50% H(2)(18)O. Compared with the previous method, this new method identified citrullinated sites more easily and effectively, while both the determined citrullinated sites and protein sequence coverage were unaltered.

Abstract
The molecular characterization of unknown naturally presented major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II glycopeptides carrying complex glycans has so far not been achieved, reflecting the different fragmentation characteristics of sugars and peptides in mass spectrometric analysis. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR-bound peptides were isolated by affinity purification, separated via high performance liquid chromatography and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. We were able to identify two naturally processed MHC class II ligands, CD53(122-136) and CD53(121-136), carrying complex N-linked glycan side chains by a combination of in-source and collision-induced fragmentation on a quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is induced by wheat gliadins and related cereal proteins. Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGAs) are present in the serum of CD patients, but these antibodies have lower diagnostic specificity and sensitivity than autoantibodies [anti-endomysium antibodies (AEmAs) and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (AtTGAs)]. Recently, AGAs from CD patients were found to recognize deamidated gliadin peptides, probably formed by the action of tissue transglutaminase. METHODS We synthesized several gliadin peptides and their glutamine-glutamic acid-substituted counterparts on cellulose membranes and tested their recognition by IgA in sera of 52 AEmA-positive CD patients and 76 AEmA-negative controls in a luminescence assay. For comparison, we assayed IgA concentrations of AGAs, AtTGAs, and AEmAs. For measurement of AtTGAs, we used the human recombinant antigen. RESULTS We identified several nonapeptides that were detected with high specificity by IgA in CD patients. Diagnostic accuracy of the peptide antibody assay was highest when peptide PLQPEQPFP was used in combination with peptide PEQLPQFEE within one assay. AGAs were above the cutoff in 14 of the controls, but only 5 of the controls were positive for peptide antibodies. For comparison, 82% and 94% of samples were correctly classified by AGAs and the combination nonapeptide assay, respectively (P = 0.007), and the AtTGAs correctly classified 98%. CONCLUSION The peptide antibody assay has higher diagnostic accuracy than AGAs for distinguishing patients with CD from controls, and has diagnostic accuracy similar to that of AtTGAs.

Abstract
During the coupling reaction between 3-alkoxy-7-amino-4-chloroisocoumarin and N-acyl alanine dipeptide, an unexpected deamidation reaction was observed. The proposed mechanism for this reaction involved the formation of an imide intermediate which after cleavage led to the release of amino acid moiety. The described deamidation reaction represents the first chemical model involving a non-peptidic moiety, which mimics biological and chemical deamidation processes occurring in proteins or peptides incorporating an asparagine or a glutamine residue.

Abstract
The microbial flavoenzyme EpiD catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of peptidyl-cysteines to peptidyl-aminoenethiols. These unusual C-terminally modified peptides are intermediates in the biosynthesis of the tetracyclic peptide antibiotic epidermin, which belongs to the lantibiotics family. The peptide SFNSYCC represents the C-terminal partial sequence of the natural precursor peptide EpiA. EpiA is posttranslationally modified to form finally the lantibiotic epidermin. The substrate specificity of EpiD was investigated using high-resolution mass spectrometry and the heptapeptide library SFNSXCC. The enzymatic conversion of particular peptides can be observed by a mass loss of m/z 46. In contrast to the previously used triple quadrupole instrument, electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICR-MS) was able to resolve and detect all precursor and converted peptides with identical nominal masses in a single measurement, avoiding the necessity to investigate single peptides. Furthermore, a new substrate SFNSCCC of the enzyme EpiD was detected within the reaction mixture.
