Abstract
Cyclodepsipeptides (CDPs) represent a huge family of chemically and structurally diverse molecules with a wide ability for molecular interactions. CDPs are cyclic peptide-related natural products made up of both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids linked by amide and ester bonds. The combined use of different analytical methods is required to accurately determine their integral structures including stereochemistry, thus allowing deeper insights into their often-intriguing bioactivities and their possible usefulness. Our goal is to present the various methods developed to accurately characterize CDPs. Presently, Marfey's method and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) are still considered the best for characterizing CDP configuration. Nevertheless, electrospray-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS/MS) is of great value for efficiently resolving CDP's composition and sequences. For instance, recent data shows that the fragmentation of cationized CDPs (e.g., [M + Li]+ and [M + Na]+) leads to selective cleavage of ester bonds and specific cationized product ions (b series) useful to get unprecedented sequence information. Thus, after a brief presentation of their structure, biological functions, and biosynthesis, we also provide a historic overview of these various analytical approaches as well as their advantages and limitations with a special emphasis on the emergence of methods based on HRMS/MS through recent fundamental works and applications.

Abstract
The combined use of hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) and mass spectrometry (MS), referred to as HDX-MS, is a powerful tool for exploring molecular edifices and has been used for over 60 years. Initially for structural and mechanistic investigation of low-molecular weight organic compounds, then to study protein structure and dynamics, then, the craze to study small molecules by HDX-MS accelerated and has not stopped yet. The purpose of this review is to present its different facets with particular emphasis on recent developments and applications. Reversible H/D exchanges of mobilizable protons as well as stable exchanges of non-labile hydrogen are considered whether they are taking place in solution or in the gas phase, or enzymatically in a biological media. Some fundamental principles are restated, especially for gas-phase processes, and an overview of recent applications, ranging from identification to quantification through the study of metabolic pathways, is given.

Abstract
Identification of lipopeptides (LpAA) synthesized from bacteria involves the study of structural characterization. Twenty LpAA have been characterized using commercial tandem high-resolution mass spectrometers in negative electrospray, employing nonresonant excitation in "RF only" collision cells and generally behave identically. However, [LpAA-H]- (AA = Asp or Glu) shows surprising fragmentation pathways, yielding a complementary fatty acid carboxylate and dehydrated amino acid fragment anions. In this study, the dissociation mechanisms of [C12Glu-H]- were determinate using energy-resolved mass spectrometry (ERMS). Product ion breakdown profiles are, generally, unimodal with full width at half-maximum (fwhm) increasing as product ion m/z ratios decrease, except for the two product ions of interest (fatty acid carboxylate and dehydrated glutamate) characterized by broad and composite profiles. Such behavior was already shown for other ions using a custom-built guided ion beam mass spectrometer. In this study, we investigate the meaning of these particular profiles from an ERMS breakdown, using fragmentation mechanisms depending on the collision energy. ERMS on line with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), here called ER-IMS, provides a way to probe such questions. Broad or composite profiles imply that the corresponding product ions may be generated by two (or more) pathways, resulting in common or isomeric product ion structures. ER-IMS analysis indicates that the fatty acid carboxylate product ion is produced with a common structure through different pathways, while dehydrated glutamate has two isomeric forms depending on the mechanism involved. Drift time values correlate with the calculated collision cross section that confirms the product ion structures and fragmentation mechanisms.

Abstract
Improving knowledge about metabolites produced by the microbiota is a key point to understand its role in human health and disease. Among them, lipoamino acid (LpAA) containing asparagine and their derivatives are bacterial metabolites which could have an impact on the host. In this study, our aim was to extend the characterization of this family. We developed a semi-targeted workflow to identify and quantify new candidates. First, the sample preparation and analytical conditions using liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were optimized. Using a theoretical homemade database, HRMS raw data were manually queried. This strategy allowed us to find 25 new LpAA conjugated to Asn, Gln, Asp, Glu, His, Leu, Ile, Lys, Phe, Trp and Val amino acids. These metabolites were then fully characterized by MS2, and compared to the pure synthesized standards to validate annotation. Finally, a quantitative method was developed by LC coupled to a triple quadrupole instrument, and linearity and limit of quantification were determined. 14 new LpAA were quantified in gram positive bacteria, Lactobacilus animalis, and 12 LpAA in Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917.

Abstract
AbstractThe identification of bacterial metabolites produced by the microbiota is a key point to understand its role in human health. Among them, lipo-amino acids (LpAA), which are able to cross the epithelial barrier and to act on the host, are poorly identified. Structural elucidation of few of them was performed by high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry based on electrospray combined with selective ion dissociations reach by collision-induced dissociation (CID). The negative ions were used for their advantages of yielding only few fragment ions sufficient to specify each part of LpAA with sensitivity. To find specific processes that help structural assignment, the negative ion dissociations have been scrutinized for an LpAA: the N-palmitoyl acyl group linked to glutamic acid (C16Glu). The singular behavior of [C16Glu-H]¯ towards CID showed tenth product ions, eight were described by expected fragment ions. In contrast, instead of the expected product ions due to CONH-CH bond cleavage, an abundant complementary dehydrated glutamic acid and fatty acid anion pair were observed. Specific to glutamic moiety, they were formed by a stepwise dissociation via molecular isomerization through ion–dipole formation prior to dissociation. This complex dissociated by partner splitting either directly or after inter-partner proton transfer. By this pathway, surprising regeneration of deprotonated fatty acid takes place. Such regeneration is comparable to that occurred from dissociation to peptides containing acid amino-acid. Modeling allow to confirm the proposed mechanisms explaining the unexpected behavior of this glutamate conjugate.
