I thank my parents, Dave and Sharon Milligan, first. You two are a true inspiration to me. You have taught me courage, gave me your “smarts”, made me laugh, and instilled outstanding family values. Your never-ending support has pulled me out of some rough times. Thank you for never turning your back on me when I needed you most. Dad, thank you for listening to me cry when I would get so stressed out from school. Mom, thank you for ALWAYS being there for whatever sport or phase I was going through. I love you both. To my sister, Mindy, thank you for being a great little sister. I know I was rough on you as a kid, and we had our share of bad times, but I’m so glad that we can look past our differences and be great friends now. Even though we fought (A LOT), we always managed to make each other laugh about something. Whether it was shooting mom in the behind, or making fun of dad’s dorky snicker, I’m glad I can look back and know that I have had a great time with you as a sister. It’s so awesome that we are going to have babies so close in age too! Being moms will give us an even stronger bond to each other. Jason, you are my rock. It is hard for me to even put in to words what you’ve done for me these past few years. Thank you for pushing me. You have grounded me, loved me, and stood by my side through everything. Thank you for being SO much fun. You make me laugh every day. You are the most hilarious person I’ve ever known. Thank you for staying here while I work toward my educational dream. You put aside your dreams and aspirations so I can have mine. That is the most unselfish thing anyone has ever done for me. You’ve taught me what unconditional love can mean, and you blessed me with a miniature you. Pari Passu! To my new son Liam Philip, thank you for being so resilient. You were a bit of a surprise, and I didn’t think I was going to make it to the end with you! But here you are! No matter how exhausted I am at the end of the day, I love coming home and seeing your sweet, innocent face. With you here with me, I know I want to be a great role model for you. You make me want to be a better person. iii Thank you Dr. Otu for taking a chance with me in undergrad. You were the reason I fell in love with Analytical Chemistry and research. Thank you Jay Bardole for helping me grow as a chemist and a student. You were a great teacher and a wonderful friend. To my friends at Florida State University, you guys rock! I had no idea that there were this many people in the world that were just as weird as me. Carolyn, from the second you opened your mouth, I decided that we would fit well together. You are the loudest, smartest, funniest person ever. I’ve never met anyone with a worse mouth than you. You could make sailors bow their heads in shame! Your intelligence makes me proud to be a woman in science. Just don’t let that go to your head; I know how you get. And one more thing Butters, try to keep your shirt pulled down under your belly button. Jennie Ascher Coym, you are the sweetest person I know. Thank you for being so optimistic about everything. Thank you for always taking care of me. You were the only person who dragged my behind to the doctor after I tore my quadriceps. You were the person who always pushed me in class. I just wanted to do half as well as you on all our exams. It was so effortless for you to get A’s in all our classes, but I would secretly compete with you to try and get a better grade (I never won). I love that we started dating two Jasons at the same time, married our Jasons at around the same time, and had little babies at the same time. I miss you! You are a great, true friend. Thank you Geoff for all your advice and discussions about the ICR. You were a big help on the instrument. Karyn, I loved that we would just sit and make fun of Carolyn on a regular basis. She needed to be put in her place so often! Also, thank you for all the advice when I was pregnant. Thank you Steve for so much. It was a lot of fun living with you for almost 2 years. You definitely taught me what it was like to be with a really gross boy. I am also grateful for your introduction to video games. What a great stress release! To my boss and advisor, Dr. William T. Cooper, thank you for your guidance and support. You are a wonderful boss, and I am honored to have worked for you. Thank you for providing the knowledge and support necessary to make my research possible. iv I also want to thank past and present group members. Thank you Sandra for getting me started on my projects, especially with your help on the ICR. You are an impressive legend to live up to, but I’m doing my best. You also instilled a strong work ethic in me from the beginning, and for that I thank you as well. Thank you Michael for all our good talks. You always kept me laughing, even when you were the most annoying person ever! I swear if I heard the song, Roxanne, one more time out of your mouth… Thank you Dan and Matt for taking me out to eat when I was pregnant. I obviously didn’t need the food per se, but you two always indulged me. Juliana and Hasan, good luck with your research in the future. Jules, I know you will do well since you are taking over my project! To Thorsten Dittmar, Jeff Chanton, Tim Filley and Karl Dria, thank you for allowing me to collaborate with you on all my projects. It is so cool to be able to work with such brilliant scientists from all over the country. Thank you Dr. Marshall for the use of your instrument and any discussions and help you’ve given along the way. Finally, I would like to thank my dog and cat for being such weird animals. Thank you Coco Chanel for breaking my ring finger one month before I got married. Thank you Prada for always remembering to throw up on my nice sofa or right after Jason cleans the carpets. Never a dull moment with you two! v TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables………………………………………………………………………..

  • And Ion Mobility – Mass Spectrometry As Platforms for X-Omic Analyses
    ABSTRACT Fueling Advances in Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography – and Ion Mobility – Mass Spectrometry as Platforms for X-omic Analyses Sharon Michelle Munisamy, Ph.D. Mentor: C. Kevin Chambliss, Ph.D. Analysis of x-omics samples presents a significant challenge to analytical chemists. The complexity and diversity of x-omics samples make it difficult to determine or develop the right analytical approach. This dissertation presents novel applications of ultra performance liquid chromatography – high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC- HRMS) and ion mobility – high-resolution mass spectrometry (IM-HRMS) in two emerging x-omics areas: lignocellulomics and petroleomics. Compared to traditional methods of x-omics analyses, these techniques offer higher chromatographic efficiency with UPLC, which can equate to faster analysis times and greater separation, an additional degree of separation with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), and high peak resolution and mass accuracy with HRMS, which allow for identification of known and unknown analytes. Direct infusion electrospray ionization – ion mobility – high-resolution mass spectrometry (DIESI-IM-HRMS) has been evaluated as a rapid technique for the determination of total molecular composition in “whole-sample” biomass hydrolysates and extracts. IM-HRMS data reveal a high molecular weight range of biomass components (up to 1100 m/z) and provide trendline isolation of feedstock components from those introduced “in process”. Carbohydrates and other lignocellulosic degradation products were identified via HRMS exact mass measurements (with typical mass errors less than 5 ppm). Analyte assignments were supported via IM-MS collision-cross-section (CCS) measurements and trendline analysis. An automated “omics” approach utilizing UPLC-HR-TOF-MS was developed for the identification of previously unknown lignocellulosic degradation products.

It is also a promising material for the recovery of valuable chemicals such as aromatic compounds as well as an important biomarker for terrestrial organic matter. Lignin is currently produced in large quantities as a by-product of chemical pulping and cellulosic ethanol processes. Consequently, analytical methods are required to assess the content of valuable chemicals contained in these complex lignin wastes. This review is devoted to the application of mass spec- trometry, including data analysis strategies, for the elemental and structural elucidation of lignin products. We describe and critically evaluate how these methods have contributed to progress and trends in the utilization of lignin in chemical synthesis, materials, energy, and geochemistry.

We propose a novel method for the comprehensive flavonoid filtering and screening based on direct infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) analysis. The recently invented data mining procedure, the multi-step mass-remainder analysis (M-MARA) technique is applied for the effective mass spectral filtering of the peak rich spectra of natural herb extracts. In addition, our flavonoid-filtering algorithm facilitates the determination of the elemental composition. M-MARA flavonoid-filtering uses simple mathematical and logical operations and thus, it can easily be implemented in a regular spreadsheet software. A huge benefit of our method is the high speed and the low demand for computing power and memory that enables the real time application even for tandem mass spectrometric analysis. Our novel method was applied for the electrospray ionization (ESI) DIMS spectra of various herb extract, and the filtered mass spectral data were subjected to chemometrics analysis using principal component analysis (PCA).

  • Selective Ionisation and Affordable High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Is Revolutionising Molecular Characterisation in the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries
    SELECTIVE IONISATION AND AFFORDABLE HIGH RESOLUTION MASS SPECTROMETRY IS REVOLUTIONISING MOLECULAR CHARACTERISATION IN THE PETROLEUM AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Since its early days High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) has been a key technique for the molecular characterisation of the complex mixtures experienced in the petroleum based industries and in recent years the power and application of the technique has increased dramatically. Author Tom Lynch In 2005 Marshall and Rogers (1)(2) wrote “Ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry has recently revealed that petroleum crude oil contains heteroatom- containing (N,O,S) organic components having more than 20 000 distinct elemental compositions. It is therefore now possible to contemplate the ultimate characterisation of all of the chemical constituents of petroleum, along with their interactions and reactivity, a concept we denote as “Petroleomics”. Selective resolution of the components of interest is the key to successfully analysing complex sample matrices by any technique and in mass spectrometry this can be achieved by a combination of the resolution of the mass analyser with selective ionisation which targets only the compound classes of interest. In addition, the components of interest can be resolved from matrix interferences by coupling with pre-separation techniques such chromatography or ion mobility spectrometry. In Rodgers and McKenna’s (3) review of Petroleum Analysis in 2011 more than half the text discussed advances in mass spectrometry with the remainder covering all other analytical techniques. This dominance was attributed to developments in a range of atmospheric pressure ionisation techniques combined with the resolving power of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometers (FT- ICR-MS).

This article deals with the fate of an Italian crude oil under simulated solar irradiation to understand (i) the modification induced on its composition by artificial ageing and (ii) the transformations arising from different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) applied as oil-polluted water remediation methods. The AOPs adopted were photocatalysis, sonolysis and, simultaneously, photocatalysis and sonolysis (sonophotocatalysis). Crude oil and its water-soluble fractions underwent analysis using GC-MS, liquid-state 1H-NMR, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS), and fluorescence. The crude oil after light irradiation showed (i) significant modifications induced by the artificial ageing on its composition and (ii) the formation of potentially toxic substances. The treatment produced oil oxidation with a particular effect of double bonds oxygenation. Non-polar compounds present in the water-soluble oil fraction showed a strong presence of branched alkanes Citation: Lelario, F.; Bianco, G.; Bufo, S.A.; Scrano, L.

  • Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry: Determining the Molecular Composition of Petroleum
    26 Analytical Instrumentation Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry: Determining the Molecular Composition of Petroleum Dr. Mark P. Barrow University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK E-Mail: [email protected] Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS) has been at the forefront of petroleum analysis for more than a decade. Not to be confused with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, FTICR MS represents the state-of-the-art for mass spectrometry. The performance characteristics and fl exibility of the instrumentation have made the technique extremely well-suited to the analysis of complex mixtures, such as petroleum and environmental samples. Introduction to FTICR MS where f is the cyclotron frequency in hertz (Hz), q is the charge on the ion in coulombs (C), B is the magnetic fl ux density in tesla (T), and m is the mass of the ion in kilograms (kg). Note that m/z can First described in 1974 by Comisarow and Marshall,1 the underlying principle is that ions are trapped be determined by converting the mass from units of kg to daltons (Da) and through the relationship by appropriate electric and magnetic fi elds,2-4 orbiting within a “cell.” The cell is typically a cylinder shown in Equation (2): of a few centimetres in diameter, consisting of six electrodes: two, circular end plates (trapping electrodes) and four electrodes spanning the length of the cylinder (two detection electrodes and (2) two excitation electrodes). The cell is located within a magnetic fi eld, most commonly positioned within the bore of a superconducting magnet.

The identification of known (dereplication) or unknown nonribosomal pep- tides (NRPs) produced by microorganisms is a time consuming, expensive, and challenging task where mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance play a key role. The first step of the identification process always involves the estab- lishment of a molecular formula. Unfortunately, the number of potential molecular formulae in- creases significantly with higher molecular masses and the lower precision of their measurements. In the present article, we demonstrate that molecular formula assignment can be achieved by a combined approach using the regular Kendrick mass defect (RKMD) and NORINE, the reference curated database of NRPs.
