Absorption-mode Fourier transform mass spectrometry: the effects of apodization and phasing on modified protein spectra.

ABSTRACT: The method of phasing broadband Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) spectra allows plotting the spectra in the absorption-mode; this new approach significantly improves the quality of the data at no extra cost. Herein, an internal calibration method for calculating the phase function has been developed and successfully applied to the top-down spectra of modified proteins, where the peak intensities vary by 100×. The result shows that the use of absorption-mode spectra allows more peaks to be discerned within the recorded data, and this can reveal much greater information about the protein and modifications under investigation. In addition, noise and harmonic peaks can be assigned immediately in the absorption-mode.

Project description:Metabolomics is an interdisciplinary field that aims to study all metabolites < 1500 Da that are ubiquitously found within all organisms. Metabolomics is experiencing exponential growth and commonly relies on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) is a form of HRMS that is particularly well suited for metabolomics research due to its exceptionally high resolution (105-106) and sensitivity with a mass accuracy in parts per billion (ppb). In this regard, FT-ICR-MS can provide valuable insights into the metabolomics analysis of complex biological systems due to unique capabilities such as the easy separation of isobaric and isomeric species, isotopic fine structure analysis, spatial resolution of metabolites in cells and tissues, and a high confidence (<1 ppm mass error) in metabolite identification. Alternatively, the large and complex data sets, long acquisition times, high cost, and limited access mainly through national mass spectrometry facilities may impede the routine adoption of FT-ICR-MS by metabolomics researchers. This review examines recent applications of FT-ICR-MS metabolomics in the search for clinical and non-human biomarkers; for the analysis of food, beverage, and environmental samples; and for the high-resolution imaging of tissues and other biological samples. We provide recent examples of metabolomics studies that highlight the advantages of FT-ICR-MS for the detailed and reliable characterization of the metabolome. Additionally, we offer some practical considerations for implementing FT-ICR-MS into a research program by providing a list of FT-ICR-MS facilities and by identifying different high-throughput interfaces, varieties of sample types, analysis methods (e.g., van Krevelen diagrams, Kendrick mass defect plot, etc.), and sample preparation and handling protocols used in FT-ICR-MS experiments. Overall, FT-ICR-MS holds great promise as a vital research tool for advancing metabolomics investigations.
