    Abstract: In one aspect, a computer implemented method for determining expected cleavage products of a macromolecule includes defining at least one residue of the macromolecule as having a core and at least one linker, where said at least one linker is defined as a sequence of two or more structural units that are coupled to one another via one or more chemical bonds. A digital data processor can be utilized to determine one or more expected bond cleavages, if any, between the structural units of said at least one linker and between adjacent residues when the macromolecule undergoes cleavage, e.g., in response to application of energy thereto, so as to predict expected cleavage products of the macromolecule.

    Abstract: At least one molecule is ionized and a mass spectrometer mass analyzes an m/z range, producing an m/z mass spectrum. A range of N sequential charge states is received. A copy of the m/z mass spectrum is created for each of the N charge states, producing N m/z spectra. Each spectrum of the N spectra is converted to a neutral mass mass spectrum using a different charge state of the N charge states, producing N neutral mass mass spectra. The N neutral mass mass spectra are aligned by neutral mass. When two or more spectra of the N neutral mass mass spectra corresponding to two or more different and sequential charge states include a neutral mass peak above a predetermined intensity threshold at a neutral mass value within a predetermined neutral mass tolerance, the neutral mass value is identified as a neutral mass of the at least one molecule.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying analytes in a sample using mass spectrometry are provided. A method for identifying analytes in mass spectrometry data comprises: introducing a sample to a mass spectrometer; analyzing the sample with the mass spectrometer in a plurality of cycles; generating, for each cycle, a mass spectrum comprising at least one peak; annotating peaks in the mass spectrum based on their relationships; assigning best ion types to each peak; processing each cycle of the mass spectrum to assign a score to each of the at least one peak thereof with respect to the likely neutral mass related to the peak; grouping peaks that share a common neutral mass; and outputting the analyte neutral mass.

    Abstract: A method for identifying peaks in a mass spectrum is provided. The method includes: accessing a mass spectrum (300), having an intensity signal, generated for analysis of a sample; performing a wavelet transformation on the intensity signal to generate a wavelet space representation (310) of the intensity signal; generating a scale- space-processing (SSP) response signal (412, 414, 416) from the wavelet space representation of the intensity signal, wherein the SSP response signal (412, 414, 416) represents the SSP response from the wavelet scale representation (310) at different wavelet scales for a particular m/z starting position (312, 314, 316); identifying a first wavelet scale for a first local maximum in the SSP response signal; based on the first wavelet scale, detect a first baseline intensity signal; subtracting the first baseline intensity signal from the intensity signal to generate a first adjusted intensity signal; and detecting one or more peaks in the first adjusted intensity signal.

    Abstract: Each of one or more unknown compounds are separated from a sample over a separation time period. Separated compounds are ionized, producing one or more compound precursor ions for each of the unknown compounds and a plurality of background precursor ions. A precursor ion mass spectrum is measured for the combined compound and background precursor ions at each time step of a plurality of time steps spread across the separation time period, producing a plurality of precursor ion mass spectra. One or more background precursor ions are selected from the plurality of precursor ion mass spectra that have a resolving power in a range below a threshold expected resolving power. A separation time is detected for an unknown compound when a decrease in an intensity measurement of the selected background precursor ions over a time period exceeds a threshold decrease in intensity with respect to time.

    Abstract: At least one product ion mass spectrum produced by a tandem mass spectrometer is received. A chemical structure of a compound that corresponds to the at least one product ion mass spectrum is received. One or more elemental compositions are assigned to at least one peak in the at least one product ion spectrum based on the chemical structure using the processor. At least one elemental composition of the one or more assigned elemental compositions is selected for the at least one peak using the processor. The mass of the at least one peak is converted to the mass of the selected at least one elemental composition using the processor, producing a product ion mass spectrum with higher mass accuracy.
