iMet: A computational tool for structural annotation of unknown metabolites from tandem mass spectra [PDF]
Untargeted metabolomic studies are revealing large numbers of naturally occurring metabolites that cannot be characterized because their chemical structures and MS/MS spectra are not available in databases. Here we present iMet, a computational tool based on experimental tandem mass spectrometry that could potentially allow the annotation of ...

Mucin glycosylation and sulphation in airway epithelial cells is not influenced by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator expression [PDF]
Abnormalities in mucus properties and clearance make a major contribution to the pathology of cystic fibrosis (CF). Our aim was to test the hypothesis that the defects in CF mucus are a direct result of mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance ...

Statistical Characterization of a 1D Random Potential Problem - with applications in score statistics of MS-based peptide sequencing [PDF]
We provide a complete thermodynamic solution of a 1D hopping model in the presence of a random potential by obtaining the density of states. Since the partition function is related to the density of states by a Laplace transform, the density of states determines completely the thermodynamic behavior of the system.

Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Quantification of 13C-Labeling in Sugars
Subcellular compartmentation has been challenging in plant 13C-metabolic flux analysis. Indeed, plant cells are highly compartmented: they contain vacuoles and plastids in addition to the regular organelles found in other eukaryotes.

MassFormer: Tandem Mass Spectrum Prediction for Small Molecules using Graph Transformers [PDF]
Tandem mass spectra capture fragmentation patterns that provide key structural information about a molecule. Although mass spectrometry is applied in many areas, the vast majority of small molecules lack experimental reference spectra. For over seventy years, spectrum prediction has remained a key challenge in the field.

Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Newborn Screening
Since 1961 newborn screening for errors of metabolism (EM) has improved the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of newborns with an EM. Recently, advances in laboratory technology with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has increased the identification of ...
