Get chromatograms for few peptides
(3 responses) shubham1637 2023-09-30 17:28

Hi,
I have DIA files from small-amount samples. I did not spike-in iRT standards. Is there a way to get/see chromatograms for few candidate peptides? I am trying to load file in Skyline, however, since there are no iRT peptides, it is failing. I also tried CiRT but that also failed.

Thanks!

Exporting Candidate peaks for ALL compounds
(2 responses) sstewart 2023-09-22 12:36

I'd like to export a report that contains the candidate peaks for EVERY compound. I'd like to do it from the command line. A report exists but (see screenshot) ONLY for one file at a time and with no command line access (unless I misread the docs).

Format would be the same as in the screenshot PLUS extra columns for identifying the compound: "File Name", "Compound Name", "Product Mz", and "Precursor Charge" (see below screenshot). Each row would be a candidate peak.

How to exclude lockspray channel
(1 response) lars debie 2023-09-29 04:18

In the data from a Waters Xevo G2-XS QTof with lockspray applied, the lockspray signal is stored as a separate channel. When the data is imported the data from the lockspray channel are included as datapoints. Since the compound of interested is not present at the point of lockspray, the peak or baseline is shown as zero when the lockspray was applied. This creates holes in the created chromatograms, see attachments. Is there a way to import only one channel and exclude the lockspray channel?

Pick children window closing instantly, 23.1 bug?
(1 response) warham 2023-09-29 10:45

Hi,

I have been working on a file for a over a few days and today when I opened it and tried to open the pick children window, skyline stalls, uses 20% of my CPU for maybe 5 seconds and then the window opens and instantly closes so that I cannot use it. The file is other wise able to see the data, can access the data to generate the full scan data for example. The Pick children window was working on this file earlier, not sure how it might have become corrupted but closing and reopening both the file and skyline does not help. The modify peptide window is functioning properly as well. I'm not sure but the performance feels very much like a bug.

Best,

Which formula to choose for combining peptides intensity into protein intensity ?
(4 responses) nicolas pierre 2022-05-05 04:43

Hello Skyline Team,

I have measured endogenous peptides with their heavy counterpart by SRM. I have also spike a protein in my sample for normalisation.
I have some questions for translated results at protein level.
When I divide the intensity of endogenous peptide by their heavy counterpart it become a ratio and in many cases this ratio totally change the ponderation of each peptide for their contribution to the protein intensity. Typically, peptides representing the highest intensity (the one which would contribute the more to protein signal with the addition of peptide intensities) for the protein can, when divided by its heavy counterpart, be the one with the lowest ratio among the other peptide of the protein. In this case this will totally change the ponderation. I am not very confident with this phenomena because usually signal with the lowest intensity are those with the lowest quality (near LOD, lowest level of precision, lowest quality of the peak...). It means that with a division by the heavy peptides I will give more importance (not systematically) to signal with the lowest quality.
In fact their is different solution to combine the signal of peptide into protein signal. For instance:

-Signal of protein A= (Signal of endogenous peptides 1/ signal of heavy peptide 1) + (Signal of endogenous peptides 2/ signal of heavy peptide 2)
-Signal of protein A = (Signal of endogenous peptides 1 + Signal of endogenous peptides 2)/(signal of heavy peptide 1 + signal of heavy peptide 2)

As explained, the first formula can change the ponderation of the peptides contributing to the protein signal, the second one will not. We could imagine other solutions...Also, I have spiked a protein for normalising my signal and I do not know where I can put it in the formula, where would be the best place..
Do you have some advises for this problem ? In there some Skyline solutions ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Problem exporting data files with the new skyline version 23.1
(2 responses) f bernuzzi 2023-09-27 08:47

Dear Skyline team,

I hope you are well. I am new to skyline so apologise if I may have missed something, but last week I did some analysis and exported the files without having any issues. This was using the old skyline. The other day I received an email that a new was released so I downloaded the newest version. Just now I finished analysing some samples as was planning on to export them but the software doesn't allow me to. I don't know whether with the new version something may have changed
The way I have been instructed to export the samples is through the following:
File > export > report. In the report then I would then select edit list, select samples in columns which would prompt me import a file. I would insert the samples columns, press import and when I first did the samples in columns became highlighted. This time however, it fails to recognise the file.
Any suggestion on how to deal with the issue and export the files. Worst case scenario I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling but don't know whether that may help. I have also attached several pictures, hopefully that will be more clear.
Many thanks for your help and support
Best wishes

Failes on importing the data acquired with FAIMS and used CV value spectrum filter active

Dear all,

I have some data acquired using Fusion Lumos with the FAIMS installed and two CV voltages set. When I import the file without any spectrum filter, the data are imported correctly and one can see zig-zag style of the MS1 level intensities due to the the intensities from the two CV values combined into a single graph. When I set the spectrum filter in a way to select only CV values of -50 and -70, it gives me the following error:

I have tested this on the freshly opened Skyline document with just a single iRT peptide in the list of peptides to import. It does work with the positive CV values used and also with the negative CV values for which there are no data actually present in the raw file. It simply returns no traces at this case. But when I set any CV value that is in the data (-50 or -70), I get the abovementioned error.

I have used 23.1.1.268 Skyline version.

Let me know if you would need any more data, I could share the raw file if necessary.

Thank you for double checking!

Highlight fragment ion in peptide sequence
(1 response) Nadzeya 2022-06-19 07:21

Dear Skyline Team,

I do targeted mass spectrometry for phosphopeptides. Since the same peptide can be phosphorylated at different positions, it is crucial to have a specific fragment ion for site localization. Is there a function in Skyline to somehow highlight a selected fragment ion in a peptide sequence? For example, highlighting amino acids with another colour or a rectangle (see attachment). This would allow a quick visual assessment of the role of the fragment ion for PTM site localization. Now I'm counting with my eyes and moving a pencil on the monitor, both suffer :)

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Kind regards,

Relative Quantification & MRM Transitions?
(1 response) megan kober 2023-09-26 18:27

Hi Folks!

I am utilizing Skyline Daily (23.1.1.268) to analyze my QQQ data, where I aim quantify relative abundance of different intracellular metabolites. During sample processing, I have included an internal, isotopic standards for relative & surrogate normalization purposes. With Skyline, I have successfully imported a transitions list with the appropriate heavy/light formulas, set up a normalization method, and specified which isotopic standard should serve as a surrogate. However, I'm curious how Skyline is actually quantifying the peak area ratio to the defined surrogate.

In my transition list, the majority of my molecules (including my isotopic standards) have multiple product ions and I have not specified as qualitative vs. quantitative. But, when I examine a Document Grid displaying the normalized areas, there is only a single value despite multiple transitions. Does Skyline have a default way of setting a quantitative ion that I'm overlooking? Or, without distinguishing qualitative vs. quantitative product ions, does skyline sum all available product ions and use this "total peak area" for the calculation?

Attached are screenshots to help clarify what I'm describing above. Let me know your thoughts & recommendations!

Thanks in advance,
Megan

Feature request: include idotp when creating IMS library with Skyline
(2 responses) Juan C. Rojas E. 2023-09-19 05:39

Hi MS wizards,

I would like to request the addition of idotp as a metric that Skyline uses for deciding the correct center of the ion mobility window used for IMS-filtered EICs.

Attached is an example where the intensity maximization criteria (the only one used as far as I remember) leads to wrong selection of ion mobility values by co-eluting isobaric species. The wrong value was selected despite have identified the M+1 interference and marked it as non-quantitative.

Would it be possible to make Skyline to maximize both intensity and idotp (perhaps more weight on the idotp)?

As always, thank you for your time and help!
Sincerely,

wiff2 file MSMS transitions

Hi Skyline-Team,
thanks to your amazing support regarding my last question (https://skyline.ms/announcements/home/support/thread.view?rowId=62010) I could import my .mzml files converted from .wiff and .wiff2 files into skyline.
However, for some reason I can only see my MS2 transitions of interest using .wiff files or .mzml files converted from .wiff files, but as soon as I try to import a .wiff2 file or .mzml file generated from the .wiff2, I don’t see any chromatogram information. The problem only seems to occur for my MS/MS transitions of interest, as the MS1 trace is visible irrespective of the file-type.

Do you have any idea how this could happen and how to circumvent this issue? Unfortunately, I need to use the .wiff2 file (or .mzml file generated from the .wiff2) for my data analysis. Using SeeMS I can clearly see that MS2 spectra are present.
I use Skyline 64 bit 23.1.0.268 with Windows Enterprise and try to analyze data generated on a zenoTOF 7600 from SCIEX.

I would highly appreciate your input and look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Lisa

Ratio to surrogate ...
(2 responses) a rocher 2023-09-06 02:25

Hello,

I quantify small molecules on Skyline. I wanted to use metabolite B as an internal standard for metabolite A, so I defined marked metabolite B as a standard surrogate in the tree structure. Unfortunately, in the Normalization Method column of the Document Grid, the name of the metabolite is replaced by its InChIKey, which makes it very difficult to read (see attached file).

How can we make the "Ratio to surrogate..." option show the metabolite name (as defined in the tree structure) and not an identifier?

"Apply Peak To All" to all molecules imported in Skyline
samartinez3 2023-09-05 08:28
Hello, I use Skyline for analysis of small molecules for metabolomics.

I have 100+ small molecules that I import via transition list, each with only one precursor I am integrating for quantification (MS1 peak area). When I inject my samples I use a separate external standard that consists of a neat solution containing all of the molecules being analyzed. When I import the results the external standard is imported along with the "unknown" samples and is used for confirmation of correct retention time integration for each molecule.

Currently I find myself going through the molecule list and using the "Apply Peak to All" function (using the standard result as the peak that is being applied to the rest of the unknown results). I'm wondering if there is a way to globally (across all molecules) apply the peak integration from one result file. Example: Apply the external standard peak integration values for all molecules to all the other results.

Skyline-daily asks reinstallation almost every 24 hours
(1 response) Yao Chen 2023-08-30 15:15

Dear Skyline Team,

My colleague and I have been facing a recurring issue with Skyline daily. It prompts us for reinstallation approximately every 24 hours. Furthermore, previously processed .sky files cannot be accessed unless we go through the reinstallation process.

Once reinstalled, the program operates as expected. Yet, it appears as if Skyline was never installed before — all our reporting methods, views, and setups disappear. While we can recover most settings by opening previously processed .sky files, the reporting methods are irretrievable.

Our IT department has confirmed that they don't have any mechanism in place that would auto-delete software.

Could you please advise on how we might resolve this issue? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Yao

Absolute quantification with oxidized peptides
(6 responses) clemence balty 2023-08-25 04:39

Hi,
I'm doing absolute quantification using the SureQuant method. I have a peptide with a methionine. I wonder if it would be possible to calculate the quantity of this peptide based on the sum of the reduced peptide and oxidized peptide. I mean set a calibration curve with the sum of both area in fonction of the quantity. Is there a way to do this in skyline or should I do it manually ?
Thanks,

Issue with utilizing MSInspector
(2 responses) edoud 2023-08-25 12:28

As I develop targeted assays to share I would like to implement the CPTAC recommendations for assays using the MSinspector external tool - I've downloaded it but am getting an number of errors. I suspect many of the issues are related to it being coded in python 2.7 which is end of life. (Can't get pip installed, can't get pandas installed etc etc). All errors in the attached file. I've been messing around trying to install things in the cmd line and there are just too many issues getting versions for python 2.7.

Do you have any recs or could you give me the contact info for Yin Lu to see if they are planning on updating this tool at all? Thanks!

Exporting data

Hi Skyline Team,

I have an issue with exporting the Excel file for peptide quantification from the Skyline file for a large number of data set (the number of results/raw files imported are close to 100). The generated Excel file cannot be opened or all the data are not exported as the number of rows that a Excel file can have passed the maximum limit. So, could please advise me on how to export all data? I am using iRT calibration as well.

How to group peptide sequences by peak quality icons
(9 responses) michel.petrovic 2012-09-12 05:48
Dear Brendan,

If I take for instance the tutorial 'Skyline Targeted Method Refinement' and go to the page 2, I can see the color explanation:

There are peak quality icons, and they indicate:
- Green – All transitions contribute a co‐eluting peak to the peak Skyline picked as the best.
- Yellow – At least half of the transitions contribute a co‐eluting peak.
- Red – Less than half of the transitions contribute a co‐eluting peak.

Our users would like to know if there is a way to view all information in a way that Skyline groups all peaks having a red icon together?
This will really simplify their manual control.

We will have much more protein sequences compared to your examples and this feature will be a must.

Best Regards,
Michel

SILAC channels not showing up during DIA analysis
(2 responses) dghandour 2023-08-24 19:27

Hello! I'm relatively new to Skyline and this is my first time doing a DIA analysis, so I would appreciate some guidance. I'm running on Windows, Skyline daily.

I'm currently working on a proteomics DIA analysis. My process began with generating a few DDA runs on our Bruker timsTOF and running them through FragPipe for building a spectral library, and then generating a set of DIA runs (also on our Bruker timsTOF). The samples have a mix of light, medium, and heavy SILAC labeled proteins (R and K, R[6] and K[6], R[10] and K[8]).

After that, I followed the Skyline guide for spectral library generation and DIA analysis almost exactly (skipping the isolation window creation part).
Here's what I was following: https://skyline.ms/wiki/home/software/Skyline/page.view?name=tutorial_dia

Although SILAC isn't explicitly discussed in the manual, I account for the SILAC channels during my analysis, in the Modifications section. When the data comes out, it shows two channels, a "light" and a "heavy", where the heavy channel probably accounts for both the medium and the heavy SILAC labels. (See "pic 1")

When I go to peptide settings and designate the correct labels to "medium" and "heavy" SILAC (see "pic 2"), then I go back to the chromatograms, nothing shows up for the medium or heavy SILAC channels. It says that there's no chromatogram available, for every peptide. (See "pic 3")

When I do all these SILAC settings for a DDA analysis, it usually works great. Is there something I'm doing wrong on Skyline, or do you think it's a problem with the original pep.xml files I used for making the spectral library?

Follow selected replicate/molecule in replicate/molecule comparison views
(4 responses) meowcat 2023-08-24 08:36

For batches with a large number of replicates and/or targets, the "peak areas" become less useful, as it becomes hard to visually evaluate the differences and the replicate / target labels are collapsed.

It is easy to zoom in on a subset of samples with ctrl-mouse wheel on the "replicate axis". It is also easy to quickly go through many samples with Ctrl-left and ctrl-right on the keyboard. However, when leaving the set of replicates onto which we are zoomed, the selection simply "leaves the window", i.e. we continue navigating through EICs but we don't see them in "peak areas". Also, selecting a replicate's EIC doesn't bring that replicate into the "zoom range" of the "replicate comparison" window.

It would be great if the range of visible samples would follow the selected replicate in a "moving window" kind of way. Also, if there was a scrollbar to move the window of selected replicates without having to zoom out and back in.

This is very hard to describe. Maybe I can make a screencapture to show what I mean, unless you already understand...

Note: the same applies to all of these replicate/molecule comparison views, like retention time, mass errors...

Include fragment ion annotation when "Copy Data" from Library Match tab
(2 responses) jonasbecker 2019-05-08 00:40

Dear Skyline Team,

I'm trying to compare spectra from peptides recorded with different fragmentation methods as well as measured from synthetic pools and out of samples.

Is there any possibility to add fragment ion information displayed in the graph to the data which I get by using the "Copy Data" interaction within the Library Match tab? Unfortunately I only get m/z values and intensities, which I than would have to annotate manually.

Or is there any possibility to get this information from a Custom Report for a single spectrum? This one could combine subsequently with the data copied from the Library Match tab to also include unmatched peaks.

I'm using PEAKS Studio X for my search, export data from there and import into Skyline 4.2.0 (64-bit).

Thanks for your help in advance. Best,
Jonas

Request about Heavy/Light Peptides
(2 responses) philip remes 2023-08-22 17:47

We have a question similar to this one:

https://skyline.ms/announcements/home/support/thread.view?entityId=cc72af62-72f6-1034-b804-da202582a216&_docid=thread%3Acc72af62-72f6-1034-b804-da202582a216

The situation is we have 800 peptides spiked into a sample. We wanted to find the RT's of the heavy/light peptide pairs and have a Skyline document with heavy/light pairs defined for all of the heavy peptides we could find.

Trial 1
In the initial peptide search, we included heavy K/R as a dynamic modification and imported this to Skyline. Using Accept Peptides, one could reduce to the list of peptides of interest, but not all of them would have both heavy and light in the document, because some peptides would just have an ID for the light, some just for the heavy.

Trial 2
We did a peptide search with static K/R modifications for just the heavies, and imported these to Skyline. Use Accept Peptides to make sure they are the ones we want. Now, how to add the lights? What we ended up doing was exporting the heavy transition list, appending the light transitions, and reimporting. We could make an external tool to enable this, but perhaps there is a better way already, or perhaps it would be a feature useful enough for the Skyline team to implement?

all_trans = []
for heavy in heavy_trans:
    light = deepcopy(heavy)
    seq = light['peptide_modified_sequence']
    light['precursor_mz'] = get_subtracted_mz(light['precursor_mz'], light['precursor_charge'], seq)
    if 'y' in light['fragment_ion']:
        light['product_mz'] = get_subtracted_mz(light['product_mz'], light['product_charge'], seq)
    all_trans.append(heavy)
    all_trans.append(light)

Thanks

Unable to use MSFragger for spectral library
(5 responses) s jager 2023-07-31 06:52

Hello,

I have been using MSFragger to analyze my timstof data, and i have been trying to upload the ‘interact.pep.xml’ files as spectral library. I put the '_uncalibrated.mzML' in the parent folder as had been described previously. However, i get the following error message:

"interact.pep.xml: To import an MSFragger search of timsTOF data (with ion_mobility attribute), the corresponding *_uncalibrated.mgf or *_calibrated.mgf file is required"

As of version 3.6, MSFragger does not output these files, and does the mxML counterparts instead (which I have). Can I somehow solve this and import the spectral library.

Or is there a workaround, for example a way i can import a list of peptide sequences with modifications, and that skyline processes this similarly to when I upload the FASTA?

thanks in advance!

Skyline for small molecules, full scan-MS1, DDA-MS2
(5 responses) stepan koudelka 2023-08-11 01:05

Dear Skyline support team.
I am using high-resolution Orbitrap Tribrid to analyse small molecules. For an individual chemical standard, a precursor is detected by full scan MS1 as well as fragmented via DDA-MS2 using isotope label free acquisitions.
Precursors and the five most intense fragments of a corresponding precursor are summarized to create a Transition List feeding Skyline (22.2.0.351) via Molecule Interface. For the graphs, I can monitor only precursor(s) Retention times, Peak Area, and Mass Errors after setting Full-Scan bookmark according to the used MS1/MS2 acquisition parameters. Are there any visualization settings and/or proper input format for the Transition List and the Transition Settings… to monitor these up to 5 fragments together with the corresponding precursor in a particular graph simultaneously (for the loaded results)?
Thank you.

Issues with Skyline Chromatography (Metabolomics)
(4 responses) victoria roberts 2023-08-16 10:03

I am having issues with peaks showing up on skyline, it shows that they are there in other softwares like qual browser and freestyle but whenever I try to look at it through skyline it looks like there wasn't really anything showing up although there was other random peaks (so it wasn't an upload issue). I think it may have to do with mass tolerance but I tried changing the transition settings to see if I the peaks would show up but they haven't, even when I went to a match tolerance of 0.5 m/z, although they definitely show up on other softwares within 0.005 m/z. I am not sure if there is something hard-coded that is preventing me from seeing the peaks or if I just don't know how to use the settings correctly, but I would appreciate any help I can get.

MRM windows are smaller than in the measurements

Hello,
we are currently working with a 7500 QTrap and are measuring scheduled MRM data of cell lysates. We also use spiked in SIS peptides of our peptides of interest and saw that heavy and light peptides show some retention time shifts. Everything fine so far, we increased our MRM window to 60s instead of 30s and can see the data being collected in Sciex OS (attached file: Troubleshooting Skyline.jpg) at 9.1 to 11.1 min, however when importing the data to Skyline we only see the signal from 9.6 min to 10.6 min which would fit our old 30s windows (Troubleshooting Skyline_RT.jpg).

We already checked every skyline setting, but nothing seemed to fix the problem and now we are running out of ideas, so if you have some idea how we could get all the collected data shown in skyline that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

Offset windows in DIA analysis

I'm looking through some DIA bottom-up proteomics data acquired on a timsTOF where the isolation windows were 24 m/z, but offset (i.e. 400, 424, 448... 412, 436...). How should I setup the transition settings to reflect this? I can point the isolation scheme to the .d file which successfully pulls in the m/z values used for the windows. Should I set the Deconvolution to overlap in this window?

My goal is to look at the chromatograms and have the intensity traces for each fragment ion reflect only MS2 signal that was present in spectra where the precursor isolation windows were appropriate. (So if an example precursor ion was 430 m/z, fragments would show up in isolation windows 424-448 and 412-436, but not 400-424). Is this how the chromatogram extraction is automatically designed, or do I have to perform additional deconvolution before uploading my .d files?

Thanks very much for any help, and let me know if I can clarify anything! I looked through the tutorials and documentation and couldn't find any specific examples for this, but apologies if it is somewhere and I missed it.

Pressure output?
(11 responses) alejandro.cohen 2020-02-20 09:43

Hi Skyline people,

I work with an Agilent 1290 coupled to a Qtrap5500 running MRM metabolomics which I analyze using Skyline (.dam methods, .wiff datafiles). Analyst is recording the column pressure output signals, however viewing these using Analyst is cumbersome and time intensive when working with big sample batches. We have encountered erratic behaviour of our chromatography, accompanied by unusual pressure profiles for samples, which tend to correct themselves after a few runs.

As part of our QC, it would be great if skyline would be able to add (overlap) the pressure traces on each chromatogram. Is this possible? I know each vendor 'hides' the pressure traces in different output and channels... but the information is there :)

I know this request has been done in the past... here another kind 'reminder'

Cheers

Spectral library corruption
(8 responses) jfoe 2023-07-05 06:03

Dear Skyline Team,

I have recently updated to 22.2.0.527 (841287d47) and have just noticed that I have by now corrupted several of my spectral libraries which is a critical problem for me now.
I am doing a workflow where I create my spectral libraries manually in skyline. I typically have several files loaded and select the best quality peak only, such that it gets included in my spectral library.

When I create spectral libraries like this (Export -> Spectral Library) and then inspect it in skyline, I get "Failure loading spectrum. Library may be corrupted.".
What I found by now is that this seems to occur specifically when the peak for a precursor is not selected in the last results file.

I am attaching an example skyline file and the spectral library that I exported from it. Loading the spectral library with skyline then gives the error text as illustrated in the .png that I am also attaching.

I would be very grateful for your help with this.
Best,
Jonas

Skyline after upgrade 22_2 and update about AutoQC possibility to importe single injections from wiff file
(5 responses) jean-christophe prost 2023-07-17 03:27

Dar Skyline team,

I am sorry for that but we have a small problem. We observed big discrepancy between XEVO and Sciex measurements using skyline. And comparing the raw data processed with the their own software, the area obtain between TargetLynx and Sciex OS are really close.

In the attachement for exemple, I put in Skyline QTRAP and XEVO measurements of ERNDIM 1 and 2 controls used for our Acylcarnitine assay.
In skyline you have the feeling, we lost all sentibility with the sciex instrument, and when you compare the data in their process soft, you see, you are very close to each other.

I have the feeling, since we updated the new release of 22.2.0.527 we have such problems. We are only able to install the unpluged version due to our firewall restrictions. When I go the mail from Brendan or Brian to install the new 22.2 release, I desinstall all the the skyline versions and install the new versions, and did not the "recovering from a broken Installation" workflow.

I really do not understand how it is possible to observe such area differences in skyline, which are not present at all in the respective processing softwares.

In advance thank you for your help.

Sorry I am coming back to you regarding questions I had in February abour AUtoQC (2023-02-22 01:41:18), since I never had any feedback from you. And I am no more able to sign in and ask again to these Email flow (QC trend report)
Vagisha told me it is not possible to implement in AutoQC single injections from wiff file. COuld you fix this issue? Since we have only Sciex instruments it would be really nice to be able to implement AutoQC without import always all data, and then exclude replicates you do not want.

In advance thank you for your help.
Kind regards,

modification of precursor m/z order in targets and results panels
(6 responses) heuillet 2023-06-16 04:51

Hello,
I use Skyline to process my MS data of 13C-fluxomics approaches. I study the 13C-incorporation inside my metabolites of interest.
In my transition list I associate different m/z to one compound. For example, for glutamate analysis I need to integrate:precursor,[M+1], [M+2], [M+3], [M+4], [M+5]. The number of m/z depends on the total number of carbon inside the molecule.
After loading my transition list, the order in the targets panel is not kept and the [M+1] is always the last m/z of the list for all metabolites.
How can I change that and put the [M+1] juste before the [M+2]?
thanks a lot,
Maud

Problems with transition list

Hello,
we are measuring porphyrins via HPLC-MS in our lab. We've been using an eatablished protocol for a few months now. However, we had to adapt the HPLC-MS method in order to measure different kinds of porphyrins within one run. Scince that adaption we can't evaluate our Chromatograms with our established transition list as it falsly detects our MS°2 measurements as MS^3. Although we can clearly see our added target molecules and their fragments in the chromatogramms, skyline doesn't detect them at all.

Do you have any idea to solve our problem?

Quantification of multiple small molecules
(1 response) matthew smith 2023-07-19 01:17

Hi,

Skyline has been a great tool for my lab to generate peak areas normalised to IS or surrogate standard, however I was excited by the ability to generate multiple calibration curves and thus quantification using the 'Concentration Multiplier' as outlined at https://skyline.ms/wiki/home/software/Skyline/page.view?name=tutorial_hi_res_metabolomics.

I am a little confused as to how to complete the workflow, since the Concentration Multiplier only seems visible in peptide mode (not molecules).

Perhaps I should load my transition lists as peptides, however this seems tricky due to the requiements of specific information which does not exist for small molecules.

I am using skyline version 22.2.0.52.7.

Any information would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
Matt

Importing libraries in Skyline with no Q-value
(2 responses) lars kristensen 2017-07-04 05:03
Is there a workaround to import libraries in Skyline from a Proteome Discoverer 2.1 Sequest HT search without q-values from Percolator (e.g. because the number of hits were too few for the Percolator node to calculate a q-value due to the use of a small database)?
I tried to set the cut off score to 0 but it still required the q-values.
I’m using the latest version of Skyline (64-bit) 3.7.0.10940.

My aim is to quantify PRTC peptides in a HeLa background. Performing a PD 2.1 serch using parameters to identify both HeLa and PRTC peptides will result i q-values allowing me to import the identified PRTC peptides/fragments. However, only a few of the PRTC peptides are identified this way.

I have tried to make two separate searches, one optimized for HeLa and one optimized for PRTC and then combine them by creating a multiconsensus report. I checked that the PRTC peptides were indeed in the multiconsensus report. When I used this PD result file to create a library in Skyline I could create a library in Skyline without an error presumably because there were q-values in the PD result file. However only one PRTC peptide matched the spectral library (presumably because the PRTC peptides were not associated with a q-value and the single match was a random event.
 

Thank you very much for any assistance
Kind regards

Feature Request - Remove Replicate/Result from Chromatogram or Replicate Right-click menu
(2 responses) Will Thompson 2023-07-13 06:56

Hi Brendan and Team,

I wanted to ask for a simple feature to make managing files which are missed injections a little easier/faster. Please consider adding the ability to remove a replicate/result file completely from the document (similar to edit/manage results) in the right-click menu. The workflow would be if you observe a run to have no data of interest, you can right-click and then instead of only "remove peak", you could "remove replicate" (or "remove result").

Thanks!

Hi there,
I have a unique challenge I was hoping Skyline would be able to help me solve. I have a compound I would like to quantitate but standards do not exist this compound. I have an isotopologue standard of the compound and have a calibration curve using that isotopologue. However, I am unable to find a way to quantitate a compound against a calibration curve if they do not share the same precursor mass. Is this possible? For context: I have standards for the light variant of the compound (no heavy atoms) and I have a standard for the triply deuterated version, however, in my unknown samples I will be observing a version of the compound that has 6 heavy carbons despite not having a standard for this 13C6 variant.

IC-HRMS data for metabolomics
(5 responses) samartinez3 2023-07-11 13:11

Hello, I recently heard about Skyline after ASMS 23 (everyone was using it!) and I have a few questions! I'm fairly new to the mass spec community and currently use compound discoverer/tracefinder for processing small molecule data for the metabolomics core I work in. These softwares are a bit more new-user friendly (AKA faster for me to be trained on/put to work on my own) but now that I know a little more about mass spec, I'm trying to find more efficient ways to process my data as we have over 250 targeted metabolites we screen per sample and have 100+ samples weekly. I'm wondering if I'm using Skyline correctly, as I find myself still having to manually go through each molecule and ensure the correct RT is chosen for all my samples (replicates).

Here is the current workflow I have been using:

  1. Import small molecule transition lists (list of 250+ molecules) with RT, m/z values, adducts, and formulas
    Transition Settings are on Full scan; Count/Orbitrap/70,000ResolvingPower at 400m/z /PRM/Orbitrap/70,000ResolvingPower at 400m/z/Include all matching scans
    Molecule Settings are all on default, I do have a question about libraries I will ask below, and as for labels I only have heavy checked (I'm still not very clear on if I should have both or neither checked? I think heavy checked was the default for small molecules.
  2. Import Results (samples)
  3. Expand all precursors and ensure the correct peak is being integrated for each molecule (each molecule only has one precursor) while using the Synchronized Integration for all replicates.
    RT shift does not usually occur from replicate to replicate but does happen from batch to batch (ex: data processed from samples injected on Monday will likely have a small RT shift ~0.2 min compared to samples injected on Friday after 100+ samples have been injected). Is there any way to adjust this globally? Such as, shift all molecules RT +/- 0.2min? As of now I manually check the peaks for a few compounds, note the RT shift, and adjust the RT values on excel then reimport the transition list with the "new" shifted RT.
  4. Export the molecule name, replicate name, and area (MS1 total area)
    These are the only features I will be needing from all the data I process as we have an internal pipeline we analyze it with. I have a standard that is injected separately as a sample that I use to ensure the correct peaks are being integrated. Is there any way to align all the molecules RT and integration to the standard if it is set as a sample on its own (a replicate)?

This workflow is repeated each time I make a new batch, is this the correct way to be working (importing the Transition List each time)? Is there a way to save this workflow/method/save the manual changes I have made to the molecules? Ex: I change the integration range but have no way of keeping that range when importing the transition list at the start of a new batch. I have been trying to get around this is by importing peak boundaries from previous batches, but still, as mentioned before, my RT shifts between batches so this isn't always useful to do.

Regarding libraries, I have made a spectral library using mzVault but am unsure how to import that into Skyline/if that is possible or if I need to use another software for creating the library/changing the format of the mzVault library file.

Sorry for all the questions! Please let me know any tips/help you have, I appreciate all of it and am excited to learn more about Skyline! :)
