In the field of metabolomics, mass spectrometry (MS) is method most commonly used for identifying and annotating metabolites. As this typically involves matching a given MS spectrum against an experimentally acquired reference spectral library, approach limited by coverage size such libraries (which number in thousands). These experimental can be greatly extended predicting spectra known chemical structures millions) to create computational libraries. To facilitate generation predicted...
Cannabis is widely used for medicinal and recreational purposes. As a result, there increased interest in its chemical components their physiological effects. However, current information on cannabis chemistry often outdated or scattered across many books journals. To address this issue, we modern metabolomics techniques bioinformatics to compile comprehensive list of >6000 constituents commercial cannabis. The methods included combination high- low-resolution liquid chromatography–mass...
NMR is widely considered the gold standard for organic compound structure determination. As such, routinely used in identification, drug metabolite characterization, natural product discovery, and deconvolution of mixtures biofluids (metabolomics exposomics). In many cases, identification by achieved matching measured spectra to experimentally collected spectral reference libraries. Unfortunately, number available experimental spectra, especially metabolomics, medical diagnostics, or...
The market for illicit drugs has been reshaped by the emergence of more than 1100 new psychoactive substances (NPS) over past decade, posing a major challenge to forensic and toxicological laboratories tasked with detecting identifying them. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is primary method used screen NPS within seized materials or biological samples. most contemporary workflows necessitate labor-intensive expensive MS/MS reference standards, which may not be available recently emerged on...
