In recent years there has been a significant interest in the development of innovative lipidomics techniques capable of resolving lipid isomers. To date, methods applied to resolving sn-isomers have resolved only a limited number of species. We report a workflow based on ozone-induced dissociation for untargeted characterisation of hundreds of sn-resolved glycerophospholipid isomers from biological extracts in under 20 min, coupled with an automated data analysis pipeline. It provides an order of magnitude increase in the number of sn-isomer pairs identified as compared to previous reports and reveals that sn-isomer populations are tightly regulated and significantly different between cell lines. The sensitivity of this method and potential for de novo molecular discovery is further demonstrated by the identification of unexpected lipids containing ultra-long monounsaturated acyl chains at the sn-1 position.

Yeast is a poikilothermic organism and adapts its lipid composition to the environmental temperature to maintain membrane physical properties. Studies addressing temperature-dependent adaptation of the lipidome have described changes in the phospholipid composition at the level of sum composition (e.g.

We established a university-community partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC)-named b-to involve middle school students in antibiotic discovery research. In the course of working with a cohort of students from the BGCC, one student isolated a bacterium from a goose feces sample that produced a new cyclic lipodepsipeptide, which was characterized as orfamide N. Orfamide N is composed of ten mixed D/L-amino acids and a ()-3-hydroxyhexadec-9-enoic acid residue.

In this study, we propose a new method for determination of calcium (Ca) isotopes using inductive coupled plasma-tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS). The most abundant isotope of Ca, Ca, has a spectrum identical with that of argon (Ar), which is often used as the carrier gas in ICP-MS analysis. The detection capability for Ca is thus significantly reduced in the presence of Ar.

Specific lipid isomers are functionally critical, but their structural rigidity and usually minute geometry differences make separating them harder than other biomolecules. Such separations by ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) were recently enabled by new high-definition methods using dynamic electric fields, but major resolution gains are needed. Another problem of identifying many isomers with no unique fragments in ergodic collision-induced dissociation (CID) was partly addressed by the direct ozone-induced dissociation (OzID) that localizes the double bonds, but a low reaction efficiency has limited the sensitivity, dynamic range, throughput, and compatibility with other tools.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding fungal lipid biology is essential for discovering new antifungal targets because lipids are crucial for cellular functions.
- The localization of double bonds in lipid structures greatly influences their functionality, and this can be accurately identified using specialized techniques like ozone-induced dissociation mass spectrometry (OzID-MS).
- Our study implemented OzID-MS and LipidOz software to analyze lipid profiles in genetically modified yeast strains, improving data processing efficiency by retraining a deep learning model to focus on promising targets while reducing the time needed for analysis.
