In this work, the coupling of liquid nanochromatography to NanoFlow electrospray mass spectrometry was evaluated for the detection of DNA adducts. The NanoFlow ES LC/MS system was compared with the capillary and conventional ES LC/MS system by analyzing an in vitro reaction mixture resulting from the interaction of 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and by injecting 2'-deoxyadenosine. By using NanoFlow ES LC/MS, the mass sensitivity could be improved by a factor of 3300. Three different injection methods used in liquid nanochromatography, i.e., split, large-volume, and column-switching injections were compared in terms of sensitivity. Furthermore, NanoFlow ES LC/MS was used to detect 2'-deoxynucleotide adducts isolated from an in vitro mixture of calf thymus DNA and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether. Different 2'-deoxynucleotide adducts could be identified by monitoring typical product ions, diagnostic for the adducts.

Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, especially hemorrhaged lesions, are the major cause of mortalities related to vascular pathologies. The early identification of vulnerable plaques helps to stratify patients at risk of developing acute vascular events. In this study, proteomics analyses of human carotid artery samples collected from patients with atheromatous plaques and complicated lesions, respectively, as well as from healthy controls were performed.

Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate gene expression patterns through epigenetic mechanisms. The five histone proteins (H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) are extensively modified, with over 75 distinct modification types spanning more than 200 sites. Despite strong advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, identification and quantification of modified histone peptides remains challenging because of factors, such as isobaric peptides, pseudo-isobaric PTMs, and low stoichiometry of certain marks.

We developed a single cell amine analysis approach utilizing isobarically multiplexed samples of 6 individual cells along with analyte abundant carrier. This methodology was applied for absolute quantitation of amino acids and untargeted relative quantitation of amines in a total of 108 individual cells using nanoflow LC with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Together with individually determined cell sizes, this provides accessible quantification of intracellular amino acid concentrations within individual cells.

The accurate and sensitive analysis of sub-proteomic samples, such as host cell proteins (HCPs) in recombinant products and stem cells in medical devices, is crucial for ensuring product safety and efficacy in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, current analytical techniques, such as conventional analytical-flow LC-MS/MS, face limitations in sensitivity due to the low concentrations of target proteins and the complexity of the sample matrix. In this study, a highly sensitive and repeatable micro-flow LC-MS/MS strategy was developed by replacing analytical-flow tubing with micro-flow tubing on an existing analytical-flow LC-MS system for sub-proteomic sample analysis.
