Metabolomics and lipidomics are new drivers of the omics era as molecular signatures and
selected analytes allow phenotypic characterization and serve as biomarkers, respectively …

While the study of reactions between oppositely charged ions has a long history, particularly
within the context of plasmas and interstellar chemistry, the exploitation of such reactions for …

Shotgun lipidomics has recently gained popularity for lipid analysis. Conventionally, shotgun
analysis of glycerophospholipids via direct electrospray ionization tandem mass …

As a major class of mammalian lipids, phosphatidylcholines (PCs) often contain mixtures of
structural isomers, resulting from different lipogenesis pathways. Profiling PCs at the isomer …

The Paternò–Büchi (PB) reaction is a photochemical reaction involving [2+ 2] cycloaddition
between electronically excited carbonyl and carbon–carbon double bond (C═ C). It has …

The profile of cholesteryl esters (CEs) is increasingly used in metabolic disease monitoring
due to the roles of CE in regulating the cholesterol level. While electrospray ionization …

Cardiolipins (CLs) are comprised of two phosphatic acid moieties bound to a central glycerol
backbone and are substituted with four acyl chains. Consequently, a vast number of distinct …

Abstract Phospholipids (PLs) and sphingolipids (SLs) perform critical structural and
biological functions in cells. The structure of these lipids, including the stereospecificity and …

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), including lyso-glycosphingolipids (lyso-GSLs) and cerebrosides
(HexCer), constitute a sphingolipid subclass. The diastereomerism between their …

Heightened awareness regarding the implication of disturbances in lipid metabolism with
respect to prevalent human-related pathologies demands analytical techniques that provide …
