MS/MS-batch-search - explains how to annotate thousands of spectra in a few seconds with EXCEL output MS/MS-GUI-search - details how to search MS/MS spectra in visual mode using the NIST MS Search GUI MGF-files -explains how to create MGF files that contain all MS/MS scans and precursor ion information LipidBlast-mz-lookup - explains how to perform an MS1 search only and discusses the needed resolving power LipidBlast-Templates - this explains how to study and create lipid fragmentations using EXCEL Lipid-Classes -this link details about the covered classes and number of spectra in LipidBlast Our LipidBlast library works with low-resolution and high-resolution instruments. We developed a computer-generated (in-silico) tandem mass spectral (MS/MS) database that can be used to annotate and identify hundreds of lipids in plants, bacteria, algae, animals, humans, viruses. Lipid analysis of polar lipids can be performed with tandem mass spectrometry and mass spectral library search. PubMed Central Link (Open Access): PMC3731409

Published in Nature Methods (2013) Advanced Online LINK: doi:10.1038/nmeth.2551 Results: LipidBlast in silico tandem mass spectrometry database for lipid identification However instead of a third fatty acid they have a phosphate group.Project Partner: Tobias Kind, Kwang-Hyeon Liu, Do Yup Lee, Brian DeFelice, John K. These lipids are similar to triglycerides in that they have two fatty acids attached to a glycerol.Polyunsaturated fatty acid: lacks four or more hydrogens and has at least 2 double bonds.Monounsaturated fatty acid: lacks 2 hydrogens and has at least 1 double bond Triglycerides in which most of the fatty acids are unsaturated.A fatty acid that lacks hydrogen atoms and has at least one double bond.Saturated Fat: A triglyceride which has all of its fatty acids saturated.Saturated Fatty Acid: a fatty acid carrying the maximum number of hydrogens.At one end of the fatty acid is an acid group (COOH) and at the other end is a methyl group (CH3).A fatty acid is a chain of carbons with hydrogen atoms attached.Majority of lipids consist of a glycerol molecule bonded to molecules called fatty acids.There is also plant fat such as peanut oil, and olive oil.Some fats are found in animal meat, butter and poultry. Lipids are used for cell structure or are broken down for energy.Consists of carbon chains bonded with oxygen and hydrogen.
