Abstract
High-resolutional mass spectrometry with a combination of HPLC or CE are widely applied to life sciences. When extracts from cells or tissues are analyzed with such LC-CID-high-resokutional MS, they give several thousands of peaks. However, only a few fraction of the spectral data is manually analyzed to identify chemical sturctures of metabolites; the rest of the spectra is left unidentified. Development of a tool to interprete high-resolutional mass spectra automatically and to help to elucidate chemical structures is essential for metabolomics. For the development, it is essential to construct a database by collecting high-resolutional mass spectra. From April 2006, we have started a project to construct such a database and to develop tools for helping automatic structure elucidation. Here we report about the goal, strategy and present status of Metabolome Mass Spectral Database that has started from April 2006.
