Presence of unresolved ion mobility (IM) profiles limits the efficient utilization of IM mass spectrometry (IM-MS) systems for isomer differentiation. Here, we introduce an automated ion mobility deconvolution (AIMD) computer software for streamlined deconvolution of overlapped IM-MS profiles. AIMD is based on a previously reported post-IM/collision-induced dissociation (CID) deconvolution approach [J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 23, 1873 (2012)] and, unlike the previously reported manual approach, it does not require resampling of post-IM/CID data. A novel data preprocessing approach is utilized to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the deconvolution process. Results from AIMD analysis of overlapped IM profiles of data from (1) Waters Synapt G1 for a binary mixture of isomeric peptides (amino acid sequences: GRGDS and SDGRG) and (2) Waters Synapt G2-S for a binary mixture of isomeric trisaccharides (raffinose and isomaltotriose) are presented.

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (RMBs) have drawn extensive attention due to their high theoretical volumetric capacity and low safety hazards. However, divalent Mg ions suffer sluggish mobility in cathodes owing to the high charge density and slow insertion/extraction kinetics. Herein, it is shown that an ultrafast nonequilibrium high-temperature shock (HTS) method with a high heating/quenching rate can instantly introduce oxygen vacancies into the olivine-structured MgFeSiO cathode (MgFeSiO-HTS) in seconds.

Background: The extracellular amyloid plaques, one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimers Disease (AD), are frequently also observed in the cortex of cognitively unimpaired subjects or as co-pathology in other neurodegenerative diseases. Progressive deposition of fibrillar amyloid-β (Aβ) as amyloid plaques for two decades prior disease onset leads to extensive isomerization of Aβ N-terminus. Quantifying the extent of isomerized Aβ can be provide insight into the different stages of amyloidosis in the brain.

Background: Tau accumulation, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, fuels cognitive decline and neuronal death. Our team identified FKBP51, a stabilizer of neurotoxic tau oligomers. Notably, FKBP51 levels increase with age and further in AD brains, where it is found associated with pathological tau.

Background: Human Apolipoprotein (APOE) has three isoforms, ε2, ε3, and ε4 among which ε4 (APOE4) confers the highest risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). APOE4 is also the most prone to aggregate among APOE isoforms. Current evidence strongly suggests that APOE aggregation leads to neuronal dysfunction and eventually to AD.

The crystal structures and hyperfine magnetic parameters of EuFe(BO) and mixed EuLaFe(BO) were studied over a wide temperature range in order to analyze correlations of the structural and magnetic features and the phase transitions in multiferroic compounds of the rare-earth iron borate family. The chemical compositions of the crystals are reported from X-ray fluorescence analysis. The crystal structures of EuFe(BO) and EuLaFe(BO) were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the temperature range 25-500 K.
