Metabolite annotation and identification

MS-RIDD

An open-source Python application for interpreting radical-induced dissociation tandem mass spectra, with current support focused on oxygen attachment dissociation for detailed lipid structural annotation.

Overview

MS-RIDD interprets oxygen-attachment-dissociation spectra to prioritize lipid double-bond positions. It combines OAD-MS/MS with MS-DIAL lipid annotations derived from CID measurements and supports single-sample and batch projects.

Scope and considerations

Designed for

  • Lipid structural interpretation using radical-induced dissociation, currently documented for OAD-MS/MS.

Not designed for

  • General metabolite identification from ordinary CID spectra without the specialized OAD evidence.

Important requirements

  • The documented Python environment, OAD-MS/MS mzML files and MS-DIAL peak/alignment exports with CID-derived lipid annotations. Batch work also requires the associated PeakID and per-sample peak lists.

Considerations

  • Double-bond assignments depend on observed diagnostic fragments and the starting lipid annotations; unresolved candidates require further evidence.
