idCerneg: Ceramides (Cer) annotation for ESI-

Description

Cer identification based on fragmentation patterns for LC-MS/MS AIF data acquired in negative mode.

Usage

idCerneg(MS1, MSMS1, MSMS2, ppm_precursor = 5, ppm_products = 10,
  rttol = 3, rt, adducts = c("M-H", "M+CH3COO"), clfrags = c(),
  clrequired = c(), ftype = c(), chainfrags_sn1 = c("NL-nlsph_M-H",
  "sph_M-H-2H2O", "sph_M-H-H2O"), chainfrags_sn2 = c("fa_Mn-1.9918"),
  intrules = c(), rates = c(), intrequired = c(), coelCutoff = 0.8,
  dbs)

Arguments

MS1

list with two data frames cointaining all peaks from the full MS function ("peaklist" data frame) and the raw MS scans data ("rawScans" data frame). They must have four columns: m.z, RT (in seconds), int (intensity) and peakID (link between both data frames). "rawScans" data frame also needs a extra column named "Scan", which indicates the scan order number. Output of dataProcessing function. In case no coelution score needs to be applied, this argument can be just the peaklist data frame.

MSMS1

list with two data frames cointaining all peaks from the high energy function ("peaklist" data frame) and the raw MS scans data ("rawScans" data frame). They must have four columns: m.z, RT (in seconds), int (intensity) and peakID (link between both data frames). "rawScans" data frame also needs a extra column named "Scan", which indicates the scan order number. Output of dataProcessing function. In case no coelution score needs to be applied, this argument can be just the peaklist data frame.

MSMS2

list with two data frames cointaining all peaks from a second high energy function ("peaklist" data frame) and the raw MS scans data ("rawScans" data frame). They must have four columns: m.z, RT (in seconds), int (intensity) and peakID (link between both data frames). "rawScans" data frame also needs a extra column named "Scan", which indicates the scan order number. Output of dataProcessing function. In case no coelution score needs to be applied, this argument can be just the peaklist data frame. Optional.

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 Cer 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 in sn1 position. See chainFrags for details.

chainfrags_sn2

character vector containing the fragmentation rules for the chain fragments in sn2 position. See chainFrags for details. If empty, it will be estimated based on the difference between precursors and sn1 chains.

intrules

character vector specifying the fragments to compare. See checkIntensityRules.

rates

character vector with the expected ratesbetween fragments given as a string (i.e. "3/1"). See checkIntensityRules.

intrequired

logical vector indicating if any of the rules is required. If not, at least one must be verified to confirm the structure.

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.

Value

List with Cer annotations (results) and some additional information (class fragments and chain fragments).

Details

idCerneg function involves 5 steps. 1) FullMS-based identification of candidate Cer as M-H and M+CH3COO. 2) Search of Cer class fragments: there are no class fragment by default. 3) Search of specific fragments that inform about the sphingoid base (Sph as M-H-2H2O resulting from the loss of the FA chain or loss of part of the sphingoid base) and the FA chain (FA as M-H but with a N intead of an O, what means a mass difference of 1.9918 from the exact mass of the FA). 4) Look for possible chains structure based on the combination of chain fragments. 5) Check intensity rules to confirm chains position. In this case, there are no intensity rules by default.

Results data frame shows: ID, class of lipid, 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 (m.z error), confidenceLevel (Subclass, FA level, where chains are known but not their positions, or FA position level) and PFCS (parent-fragment coelution score mean of all fragments used for the identification).
