Proteo-SAFARI is a shiny application for fragment assignment by relative isotopes, an R-based software application designed for identification of protein fragment ions directly in the / domain. This program provides an open-source, user-friendly application for identification of fragment ions from a candidate protein sequence with support for custom covalent modifications and various visualizations of identified fragments. Additionally, Proteo-SAFARI includes a nonnegative least-squares fitting approach to determine the contributions of various hydrogen shifted fragment ions ( + 1, + 1, - 1, - 2) observed in UVPD mass spectra which exhibit overlapping isotopic distributions. To show its utility, Proteo-SAFARI is applied to various MS/MS spectra of intact proteins, including proteins exhibiting dynamic hydrogen shifts in y ions, ubiquitin charge-reduced to the 1+ charge state, and a large protein recorded in full profile mode. Proteo-SAFARI is available at: github.com/mblanzillotti/Proteo-SAFARI.

Until now, mass spectrometry databases lack molecular information of most organosilicon oligomers, and risk models needing accurate molecular descriptors are unavailable for these emerging contaminants with thousands of monomers. To address this issue, based on molecular/fragment ions and relative abundance from GC-Orbitrap-MS, this study developed appropriate classification (accuracies = 0.750-0.

Article Synopsis
- The study developed a portable mass spectrometry technique for accurately measuring tirofiban drug concentrations in blood to enhance patient safety and treatment efficacy.
- The method identified a significant parent ion peak for tirofiban and optimized various parameters, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 10.1 and 33.7 μg·L, respectively.
- Although the technique faced some challenges from blood sample matrix effects, it successfully detected tirofiban in 10 out of 12 clinical samples, demonstrating the need for further optimization and validation to boost sensitivity and stability.

Rationale: In electrospray ionization and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, the protonation site directly guides the ion's dissociation. But what if the site of protonation is ambiguous? In this study, we explored the unimolecular reactions of protonated α- and β-pinene ions with a combination of tandem mass spectrometry and theory. Each has multiple potential protonation sites that influence their chemistry.

Article Synopsis
- Carrageenan oligosaccharides show promising biological activities and can be produced using carrageenases from a newly identified marine bacterium, Shewanella sp. LE8.
- The study characterizes κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenases produced by this bacterium, revealing that its crude enzyme was effective in degrading specific types of carrageenan under different conditions.
- Findings from molecular weight distribution and analysis of hydrolysates indicate that the degradation process involves not only enzymatic action but also sulfatase participation, suggesting a potential for industrial applications of the oligosaccharides produced.
