Improving Small Molecule Annotation In Nontargeted Soft Ionization GC/LC High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

  • High-resolution mass spectrometry, either combined with gas or liquid chromatography (GC/LC-HR-MS), is currently the most powerful analytical option for broad nontargeted small molecule analysis. To transform HR-MS raw data from metabolomics or environmental studies into chemically meaningful data, several computational steps are needed, including peak detection, deconvolution of these peaks into compounds and putative identification of compounds using databases. Each of these steps can cause problems and still requires methodological advancements. Computational compound annotation as one of the steps, however, has proven particularly challenging, mainly due to the chemical diversity of organic analytes. In addition, different annotation approaches are needed for the different platforms used in HR-MS screening. We recently introduced InterpretMSSpectrum as an annotation workflow for GC-HR-MS using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI).

Computational compound annotation as one of the steps, however, has proven particularly challenging, mainly due to the chemical diversity of organic analytes. In addition, different annotation approaches are needed for the different platforms used in HR-MS screening. We recently introduced InterpretMSSpectrum as an annotation workflow for GC-HR-MS using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). InterpretMSSpectrum locates molecular ion, fragment and adduct peaks, calculates their most likely sum formula combination and graphically summarizes results as an annotated mass spectrum. As a complementary approach for LC-HR-MS, we presented findMAIN, which scores MS1 spectra based on explained intensity, mass accuracy and isotope charge agreement of adducts and related electrospray ionization (ESI) products to determine the neutral mass of unknown compounds. Both approaches were validated against large spectral libraries containing more than 600 compounds, for which correct annotation was achieved in over 80% of the cases. Based on the experiences from this validation, we here compare soft-ionization GC/LC-HR-MS regarding “annotatability” of unknown compounds from a computational perspective. As a main advantage for GC-HR-MS, the relatively uniform ionization behavior of commonly used trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives observed under APCI allowed differentiation of molecular ion peaks from in-source fragments based on relatively compact set of rules. By contrast, neutral mass inference in ESI required a more complex evaluation scheme, due to the higher diversity of ionization products observable in ESI. We demonstrate such differences by practical examples of both software packages applied to metabolomics studies and discuss the challenges connected to transferring the approaches to environmental screening.zeige mehrzeige weniger
