Several metabolomic software programs provide methods for peak picking, retention time alignment and quantification of metabolite features in LC/MS-based metabolomics. Statistical analysis, however, is needed order to discover those significantly altered between samples. By comparing the MS/MS data a model compound that from feature interest research sample, metabolites can be then unequivocally identified. This paper reports on comprehensive overview workflow statistical analysis rank...

Key nuclear processes in eukaryotes, including DNA replication, repair, and gene regulation, require extensive chromatin remodeling catalyzed by energy-consuming enzymes. It remains unclear how the ATP demands of such are met response to rapid stimuli. We analyzed this question context massive regulation changes induced progestins breast cancer cells found that is generated cell nucleus via hydrolysis poly(ADP-ribose) ADP-ribose. In presence pyrophosphate, ADP-ribose used pyrophosphatase...

Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been a long-standing approach used for identifying small molecules due the highly reproducible ionization process of electron impact (EI). However, use GC-EI MS in untargeted metabolomics produces large and complex data sets characterized by coeluting compounds extensive fragmentation molecular ions caused hard ionization. In order identify extract quantitative information on metabolites across multiple biological samples,...

Because of the wide range chemically and structurally diverse metabolites, efforts to survey complete metabolome rely on implementation multiplatform approaches based nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) mass spectrometry (MS). Sample preparation disparities between NMR MS, however, may limit analysis same samples by both platforms. Specifically, deuterated solvents used in strategies can complicate LC/MS as a result potential shifts, whereas acidic solutions typically methods enhance ionization...
