Abstract With the aim of establishing a data simultaneous comparison, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) statistical tool was applied to LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2/graphite Li-ion cells electrolyte’s decomposition products detected by UHPLC-ESI-HRMS. Herein, we illustrate how the chemometric tool associated with mass spectrometry data can be relevant to provide information about the presence of unusual molecules. Indeed, pristine Triton X-100 surfactant molecules used in electrode elaboration process were detected after impregnation stage. However, as they chemically react and oxidize at a potential lower than 4.5V vs. Li/Li+, only surfactant derivatives and classical ageing molecules were observed, respectively, after storage and cycling stages at 55°C, leading to a triangle-type correlation circle. On the other hand, global schemes of LiPF6-based electrolyte degradation pathways were elaborated from a comparative study with literature to help interpret results in future electrolyte ageing studies.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to characterize the protein profile of ovarian follicular fluid (FF) of brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira). Five adult females received an ovarian stimulation treatment and the FF was collected by laparoscopy from small/medium (≤3.5 mm) and large (>3.5 mm) follicles. Concentrations of soluble proteins in FF samples were measured and proteins were analyzed by 1-D SDS-PAGE followed by tryptic digestion and tandem mass spectrometry. Data from protein list defined after a Mascot database search were analyzed using the STRAP software tool. For the protein concentration, no significant difference (P > 0.05) was observed between small/medium and large follicles: 49.2 ± 22.8 and 56.7 ± 27.4 μg/μl, respectively. Mass spectrometry analysis identified 13 major proteins, but with no significant difference (P > 0.05) between follicle size class. This study provides insight into elucidating folliculogenesis in brown brocket deer.

Nyaope, a Tswana word for a mixture or ‘mish-mash’, describes a drug cocktail consisting of heroin, cannabis, and on occasion other controlled substances and warfarin. It is highly addictive with extremely unpleasant side effects caused by withdrawal from the drug. It is a problem drug especially in townships in South Africa. However, its prevalence in neighbouring southern African states and further afield is not yet known. There is currently no validated method for the analysis and comparison of nyaope. We describe a validated method for the gas chromatography – mass spectrometry analysis of nyaope so that within-batch and between-batch comparisons of nyaope can successfully be made for the first time. The validated method managed an accuracy within the range 80–120%, the precision was less than 20% for all analytes and managed linearity with R2≥0.99. The detection limits for diamorphine, efavirenz, nevirapine and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol were 14.2, 18.6, 18.7 and 9.94 pg on column, respectively, and the limits of quantitation were 43.1, 56.3, 56.6 and 30.1 pg on column, respectively. The simulated and casework samples were successfully discriminated into original batches using the identified nyaope components, the unsupervised chemometric methods principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering, as well as chromatographic profiles.

Mass spectrometry is an emerging technique that is continuously gaining momentum among bioinformatics researchers who intend to study biological or chemical properties of complex structures such as protein sequences. This advancement also embarks in the discovery of proteomic biomarkers through accessible body fluids such as serum, saliva, and urine. Recently, literature reveals that sophisticated computational techniques mimetic survival and natural processes adapted from biological life for reasoning voluminous mass spectrometry data yields promising results. Such advanced approaches can provide efficient ways to mine mass spectrometry data in order to extract parsimonious features that represent vital information, specifically in discovering disease-related protein patterns in complex proteins sequences. This article intends to provide a systematic survey on bio-inspired approaches for feature subset selection via mass spectrometry data for biomarker analysis.
