idCEpos: Cholesteryl Esters (CE) annotation for ESI+

In LipidMS: Lipid Annotation for LC-MS/MS DDA or DIA Data

Cholesteryl Esters (CE) annotation for ESI+

Description

CE identification based on fragmentation patterns for LC-MS/MS DIA or DDA data acquired in positive mode.

Usage

idCEpos(
  msobject,
  ppm_precursor = 5,
  ppm_products = 10,
  rttol = 3,
  rt,
  adducts = c("2M+NH4", "2M+Na", "M+NH4", "M+Na"),
  clfrags = c(369.3516, "fa_M+H-H2O"),
  clrequired = c(F, F),
  ftype = c("F", "BB"),
  chainfrags_sn1 = c("fa_M+H-H2O"),
  coelCutoff = 0.8,
  dbs,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

msobject	an msobject returned by dataProcessing.
ppm_precursor	mass tolerance for precursor ions. By default, 5 ppm.
ppm_products	mass tolerance for product ions. By default, 10 ppm.
rttol	total rt window for coelution between precursor and product ions. By default, 3 seconds.
rt	rt range where the function will look for candidates. By default, it will search within all RT range in MS1.
adducts	expected adducts for CE in ESI+. Adducts allowed can be modified in adductsTable (dbs argument).
clfrags	vector containing the expected fragments for a given lipid class. See checkClass for details.
clrequired	logical vector indicating if each class fragment is required or not. If any of them is required, at least one of them must be present within the coeluting fragments. See checkClass for details.
ftype	character vector indicating the type of fragments in clfrags. It can be: "F" (fragment), "NL" (neutral loss) or "BB" (building block). See checkClass for details.
chainfrags_sn1	character vector containing the fragmentation rules for the chain fragments. See chainFrags for details.
coelCutoff	coelution score threshold between parent and fragment ions. Only applied if rawData info is supplied. By default, 0.8.
dbs	list of data bases required for annotation. By default, dbs contains the required data frames based on the default fragmentation rules. If these rules are modified, dbs may need to be supplied. See createLipidDB and assignDB.
verbose	print information messages.

Details

idCEpos function involves 3 steps. 1) FullMS-based identification of candidate CE as 2M+NH4, 2M+Na, M+NH4 and M+Na. 2) Search of CE class fragments: 369.3516 or its loss (FA as M+H-H20) coeluting with the precursor ion. 3) Search of specific fragments that confirm chain composition (FA as M+H-H2O).

Results data frame shows: ID, lipid class, CDB (total number of carbons and double bounds), FA composition (specific chains composition if it has been confirmed), mz, RT (in seconds), I (intensity, which comes directly from de input), Adducts, ppm (mz error), confidenceLevel (in this case, as CE only have one chain, only Subclass and FA level are possible) and Score (parent-fragment coelution score mean in DIA data or relative sum intensity in DDA of all fragments used for the identification).

Value

annotated msobject (list with several elements). The results element is a data frame that shows: ID, lipid class, CDB (total number of carbons and double bounds), FA composition (specific chains composition if it has been confirmed), mz, RT (in seconds), I (intensity), Adducts, ppm (mz error), confidenceLevel (Subclass, FA level, where chains are known but not their positions, or FA position level), peakID, and Score (parent-fragment coelution score mean in DIA data or relative sum intensity in DDA of all fragments used for the identification).

Note

This function has been written based on fragmentation patterns observed for three different platforms (QTOF 6550 from Agilent, Synapt G2-Si from Waters and Q-exactive from Thermo), but it may need to be customized for other platforms or acquisition settings.
