Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of recognition of phosphatidylcholine isomers, in particular to a qualitative and quantitative method for phosphatidylcholine isomers.
Background
Phosphatidylcholine (PCs) is the most abundant phospholipid in mammalian cells, an essential component of biological membranes, involved in many important biological processes including vesicle transport, cell signaling, energy metabolism and protein function regulation. The PCs family exhibits a great diversity in molecular structure, particularly in the positional isomers arising from the difference in the position of the carbon-carbon double bond (C ═ C) in its acyl chain. The positional isomerism of these C ═ C bonds has been shown to affect membrane fluidity, cell signaling, enzyme regulation, lipid metabolism, and various physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it is important to identify the exact structure of the PCs double bond position and to quantify it accurately.
Over the last decade, efforts have been made to achieve comprehensive identification of PCs structures and to establish several methods. For example: gas phase ion activation/dissociation process. The gas-phase ion activation/dissociation method comprises ozone-induced dissociation, ultraviolet photolysis, electron collision excitation of organic ions, metastable atom activation dissociation, free radical directional dissociation and the like. These methods allow the identification of PCs isomers by generating MS2 fragments that are related to the double bond position, by means of filtering and matching algorithms.
Since these methods require more complicated equipment, the reliability thereof is lowered; and such methods require complicated gas phase reactions, resulting in poor sensitivity and specificity. In addition, none of the above strategies achieves accurate quantification.
