LPPtiger

Identification of oxidized lipids from DDA datasets

Description

LPPtiger is an open source software for the high-throughput identification of lipids from DDA data acquired by LC-MS experiments. LPPtiger combines three unique algorithms to predict oxidized lipidome, generate oxPL spectra libraries, and identify oxPLs from tandem MS data using parallel processing and a multi-scoring identification workflow. LPPtiger can evaluate candidate structures using its unique five-criteria scoring system including isotope score to check isotopic pattern, rank score for bottom-up identification, spectra match score to check the spectra similarity to predicted spectra, fingerprint score to check low abundant signals, and signal to noise score to check the specificity of candidate structure. LPPtiger provide a solution to generate customized oxidized lipids library predicted from unmodified lipids and use it for precise identification of oxidized lipids.

Tasks

4.5) Identification of oxidized lipids
Other features:
In silico oxidation to generate theoretical library of predicted oxidized lipids; export predicted oxidized lipids as structure library in SDF format; export predicted spectra pattern that generated by in silico fragmentation as spectra library in MSP format; Batch processing mode
Spectra annotation:
Yes
Scores:
Isotope score,
Rank score,
Spectra match score,
Fingerprint score,
Signal to noise score
Algorithms:
Generate oxidized lipid library predicted from unmodified lipids. Use the information of predicted oxidized library for identification. Evaluate candidate structure using multiple criteria including: isotopic pattern, rule-based assignment and ranking of MS2 signals, spectra matching to predicted spectra, fingerprint fragments check, and overall peak specificity to the candidate structure.
Requirements:
Whitelist of fatty acid residues and lipid classes specific head group fragments (provided + customizable)
Decision rules:
Yes
Spectra matching:
Yes
