Creating a Spectral Library from Existing Data Set madeline colley  2022-03-30 13:13
 

Hello,

I have a series of DDA-PASEF experiments, but I am confused on how to start making a spectral library for these small molecules (some lipids and metabolites). I can see there is an "export spectral library" function, which I am assuming saves your transition list into a spectral library format.

I have used lipidcreator to give me a few transition ions for some lipids I am interested in, but when I load that, I am not sure how to then look at that with ion mobility or then add the ion mobility from this specific data set into the library.

Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

Best,
Maddie

Hi Maddie,

Do you have known ion mobility values for the ions of interest? If not, I'd suggest the "Ion Mobility Spectrum Filtering" tutorial (https://skyline.ms/wiki/home/software/Skyline/page.view?name=tutorial_ims) for information on how to create an ion mobility library from your data. It's in terms of peptide data, but the ideas are the same.

Best regards,
