EM∩IM: software for relating ion mobility mass spectrometry and electron microscopy data [PDF]
EM∩IM enables the calculation of collision cross-sections from electron density maps obtained, for example, by means of transmission electron microscopy. This capability will further aid the integration of ion mobility mass spectrometry with modern structural biology.

Implementation of a flexible, open-source platform for ion mobility spectrometry
When operated as a stand-alone device, an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) routinely offers low limits of detection (pptv-range) for gas-phase analytes even for measurement times less than a second.

Molecular Cages as Probes in Indicator Displacement Assays: The Case of Scopolamine Detection
In this research, we show the concept of molecular cages as probes in indicator displacement assays, focusing on scopolamine detection, a drug often used in drug‐facilitated sexual assaults. Drug sensing occurs via the drug‐induced transformation of non‐emissive [Fluorescein2⊂Cage] complex into [Scopolamine⊂Catenane] and highly emissive free ...

Evaporation and Discharge Dynamics of Highly Charged Multicomponent Droplets Generated by Electrospray Ionization [PDF]
We investigate the Rayleigh discharge and evaporation dynamics of highly charged two-component droplets consisting principally of methanol with 2-methoxyethanol, tert-butanol, or m-nitrobenzyl alcohol.

Characterization of Amyloid Oligomers by Electrospray Ionization-Ion Mobility Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry (ESI-IMS-MS) [PDF]
Soluble oligomers formed during the self-assembly of amyloidogenic peptide and protein species are generally thought to be highly toxic. Consequently, thorough characterization of these species is of much interest in the quest for effective therapeutics and for an enhanced understanding of amyloid fibrillation pathways.

Software Tools and Approaches for Compound Identification of LC-MS/MS Data in Metabolomics. [PDF]
The annotation of small molecules remains a major challenge in untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. We here critically discuss structured elucidation approaches and software that are designed to help during the annotation of unknown compounds.
