LC-MS technique described here is a new way for the separation and direct determination of UV-Vis insensitive inositol phosphates (InsP(2)-InsP(6)). This circumvents the need of radioisotopic labeling and post-column derivatization techniques. The method involves separation of various enzymatically dephosphorylated derivatives of InsP(6) on C(18)-column using MeOH/H(2)O (30:70 v/v) and their identification using electron spray ionization MS in positive ion mode (+pESI-MS). The LC-MS studies revealed that the purified phytase from Aspergillus niger van Teighem hydrolyzes InsP(6 )in a sequential manner leading to InsP(2 )(InsP(2) x 2Na, t(R) 4.4-4.54 min, base peak m/z 382.9) as the end product.

Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) using parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF) is an advanced analytical technique that offers several advantages in mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics. TIMS provides an additional dimension of separation to mass spectrometry and accurate collision cross-section (CCS) measurements for ions, aiding in the structural characterization of molecules. This is especially valuable in lipidomics for identifying and distinguishing isomeric or structurally similar compounds.

Untargeted Metabolic Phenotyping by LC-MS.

Division of Systems Medicine, Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Imperial College, London, UK.

Untargeted analysis by LC-MS is a valuable tool for metabolic profiling (metabonomics/metabolomics), and applications of this technology have grown rapidly over the past decade. LC-MS offers advantages of speed, sensitivity, relative ease of sample preparation, and large dynamic range compared to other platforms in this role. However, like any analytical approach, there are still drawbacks and challenges that have to be overcome, some of which are being addressed by advances in both column chemistries and instrumentation.

In this study, whole genome sequence data of Ladakhi cattle from high altitude region of Leh-Ladakh and Sahiwal cattle from arid, semi-arid tropical region were compared. To gain a deeper understanding of the selective footprints in the genomes of Ladakhi and Sahiwal cattle, two strategies namely run of homozygosity (ROH), and fixation index (F) were employed. A total of 975 and 1189 ROH regions were identified in Ladakhi and Sahiwal cattle, respectively.

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic disease caused by long-term inflammation and fibrosis of the liver. Early identification and intervention in liver cirrhosis have become an important goal for researchers to explore the influence of some metabolic factors on the risk of liver cirrhosis in terms of genetic susceptibility. Data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of fourteen metabolic factors and liver cirrhosis were obtained from publicly available databases.

Introduction: Phencyclidine, a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects, is commonly abused as a recreational drug. Phencyclidine analogs are compounds produced by substitutions of the phenyl and piperidine rings of phencyclidine. Illegal use of phencyclidine and its analogs has symptoms such as addiction, confusion, and increased tendencies toward violence.
