The metabo-ring initiative brought together five nuclear magnetic resonance instruments (NMR) and 11 different mass spectrometers with the objective of assessing reliability untargeted metabolomics approaches in obtaining comparable profiles. This was estimated by measuring proportion common spectral information extracted from LCMS NMR platforms. Biological samples obtained 2 conditions were analysed partners using their own in-house protocols. Test #1 examined urine adult volunteers either...
Metabolic profiles of biofluids obtained by atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry-based technologies contain hundreds to thousands features, most them remaining unknown or at least not characterized in analytical systems. We report here on the annotation human adult urinary metabolome and metabolite identification from electrospray spectrometry (ESI-MS)-based metabolomics data sets. Features biological interest were first all annotated using ESI-MS database laboratory. They also...
Microcin E492 (MccE492, 7886 Da), the 84-amino acid antimicrobial peptide from Klebsiella pneumoniae, was purified in a post-translationally modified form, MccE492m (8717 culture supernatants of either recombinant Escherichia coli VCS257 strain harboring pJAM229 plasmid or K. pneumoniae RYC492 strain. Chymotrypsin digestion led to MccE492m-(74–84) C-terminal fragment that carries modification and analyzed by mass spectrometry nuclear magnetic resonance at natural abundance. The 831-Da...
Metabolomics is considered as an emerging new tool for functional proteomics in the identification of protein function or projects aiming at modeling whole cell metabolism. When combined with proteome studies, metabolite-profiling analyses revealed unanticipated insights into yeast sulfur pathway. In response to cadmium, observed overproduction glutathione, essential detoxification metal, can be entirely accounted by a marked drop sulfur-containing synthesis and redirection metabolite fluxes...
Ester-way to heaven: Unexpected formation of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene 4 was the main focus combined experimental and theoretical studies on Au-catalyzed cycloisomerization branched dienyne 1 (see scheme), which provided better understanding mechanistic details governing cyclization enynes bearing a propargylic ester group.Experimental Au- Pt-catalyzed with an acetate group at position are presented. The peculiar architecture precursor, has both 1,6- 1,5-enyne skeleton, leads, in presence...
Recently, high-resolution mass spectrometry has been largely employed for compound identification, thanks to accurate measurements. As additional information, relative isotope abundance (RIA) is often needed reduce the number of candidates prior tandem MSn.

Accurate were achieved ppm range, using external calibration within 24 h, remained at <5 over a one-week period....
The intermediacy of gold acetylides in the gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization enynes was questioned. While dinuclear complexes are observed under electrospray ionization conditions, solution reactivity also leads to conclusion their high affinity for second coordination a moiety, leading complexes. However, involvement and corresponding diaurated species elementary steps mechanisms appears unlikely.
We report the direct introduction of biological samples into a high-resolution mass spectrometer, LTQ-Orbitrap, as fast tool for metabolomic studies. A proof concept study was performed on yeast cell extracts that were introduced spectrometer by using flow injection analysis, with an acquisition time 3 min. Typical spectra contained few thousand m/z signals, 400 which found to be analytically relevant (i.e., their intensity 3-fold higher than background noise and they occurred in at least...
Metabolomics, i.e., the global analysis of cellular metabolites, is becoming a powerful tool for gaining insights into biological functions in postgenomic context. However, absolute quantitation endogenous metabolites media remains an issue, and available technologies metabolome still lack robustness accuracy.
