Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) are the subject of clinical attention due to their biological importance. Recently, it has been shown that certain erythrocyte pathologies could be linked to an abnormal lipid composition. In this work, we have developed a simple and fast method using online sample preparation with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-MS/MS), to identify a large number of sphingolipids (SL) and phospholipids (PL). The use of online sample preparation considerably reduces analysis times (15 min including extraction and separation of lipids + 2 min for system re-equilibration) and facilitates experimentation while ensuring very good extraction yields. This method was then successfully applied to the quantification of 30 sphingolipids and phospholipids in plasma and erythrocyte extracts from a cohort of individuals with Gaucher disease, treated or not by enzymotherapy. Our results for the study of this disease, led us to establish the lipid profile of the healthy red blood cells, still not very well-known to date. For this, we adopted a semi-targeted approach, based on the use of a triple-quadrupole analyzer and identified more than two hundred different lipid species. These promising results will hopefully enable us to enrich our knowledge of the normal red blood cells lipidome.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is a genetic disease with mutations in the GBA gene that encodes glucocerebrosidase causing complications such as anaemia and bone disease. GD is characterized by accumulation of the sphingolipids (SL) glucosylceramide (GL1), glucosylsphingosine (Lyso‐GL1), sphingosine (Sph) and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P). These SL are increased in the plasma of GD patients and the associated complications have been attributed to the accumulation of lipids in macrophages. Our recent findings indicated that red blood cells (RBCs) and erythroid progenitors may play an important role in GD pathophysiology. RBCs abnormalities and dyserythropoiesis have been observed in GD patients. Moreover, we showed higher SL levels in the plasma and in RBCs from untreated GD patients compared with controls. In this study, we quantified SL in 16 untreated GD patients and 15 patients treated with enzyme replacement therapy. Our results showed that the treatment significantly decreases SL levels in the plasma and RBCs. The increased SL content in RBCs correlates with abnormal RBC properties and with markers of disease activity. Because RBCs lack glucocerebrosidase activity, we investigated how lipid overload could occur in these cells. Our results suggested that SL overload in RBCs occurs both during erythropoiesis and during its circulation in the plasma.

Abstract
Since the early nineties, countless publications have been devoted to the study of possible uses of [60] fullerene (C60) and its derivatives in the fields of materials and nano-biomedical sciences. However, in spite of the importance of conformers notably from the pharmacological point of view, the cis/trans isomerization of C60 mono-adducts has been rarely seldom investigated. Here we present the results of DFT calculations of the structural, vibrational and NMR properties of both cis and trans isomers of fulleropyrrolidine mono-adduct obtained by photo-addition of glycine methyl ester to C60. Taken together, our results have shown that the cis isomer is more stable than the trans one. For the cis conformation, the simulated vibrational spectrum shows a more intense peak at 1298 cm-1. While 13C spectra revealed no significant differences between the two isomers as compared to experimental results, the calculated 1H chemical shifts show a significant difference between the two conformers in both the gas phase and in solution. The trans isomer presents a proton at 5.86 ppm, which is more deshielded than the proton of the cis conformer (5.24 ppm).

Abstract
The analytical performances of two triple-quadrupole instruments, which differ in their atmospheric-pressure sources, were evaluated for native amino acid analysis. The Applied Biosystems/Sciex API 300 instrument was equipped with a turboIon Spray source and a curtain gas interface while the Waters/Micromass Quattro Ultima instrument was characterized by its Z-spray source. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of native amino acids requires volatile ion-pairing mobile phase additives (mainly perfluorinated carboxylic acids). The effects of the structure and concentration of the ion-pairing reagents as well as the organic modifier percentage on the electrospray response of amino acids were studied in detail. The most favourable chromatographic conditions depend strongly on the mass spectrometer used. Several instrumental parameters were also studied, including spray voltage, transmission lens voltages, temperature of desolvation and auxiliary gas flow rates. The results show substantial qualitative differences depending on the instrument geometry. The quantitative performances of the two triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers were evaluated in terms of limits of detection and quantification. The effects of the matrix on the analyte ionization were also examined, and the long-term stability of the electrospray performance was studied over 12 h using a mobile phase containing the perfluorinated ion-pairing reagents. The study provides information on the robustness of the MS instrument and its detection sensitivity towards native amino acid analysis. It appears that each instrument has its good and bad points since one provides higher sensitivity while another is more robust.

Abstract
A new procedure based on hydrophilic interaction chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (ionisation process by pneumatically assisted electrospray in negative ion mode), is developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of underivatised taurine and methionine in beverages rich in carbohydrates such as energy drinks. No initial clean-up procedure and no sample derivatisation are required. Satisfactory analysis was obtained on an Astec apHera NH2 (150 mm x 4.6 mm; 5 microm) column with methanol-water (60/40) as mobile phase. The method was validated in terms of specificity, detection limits, linearity, accuracy, precision and stability, using threonine as internal standard. The potential effects of matrix and endogenous amino acid content were also examined. The limits of detection in the beverage varied from 20 microg L(-1) for taurine to 50 micro L(-1) for methionine.

Abstract
In the presence of a suitable oxidizing agent, the Ni(II) complex of glycyl-glycyl-histidine (GGH) mediates efficient and specific oxidative protein cross-linking. The fusion of GGH to the N terminus of a protein allows for the cross-linking reagent to be delivered in a site-specific fashion, making this system extremely useful for analyzing protein-protein contacts in complicated mixtures of biomolecules. Tyrosine residues have been postulated to be the primary amino acid target of this reaction, and using the dimeric serine protease inhibitor ecotin, we previously demonstrated that engineering a tyrosine at the protein interface of a dimer dramatically increased cross-linking efficiency. Cross-linking increased four-fold for GGH-ecotin D137Y in comparison to wild-type GGH-ecotin, presumably through bityrosine formation at the dimer interface. Here we report the first complete structural analysis of the cross-linked GGH-ecotin D137Y dimer. Using a combination of mass spectrometric and chemical derivatization methods, a sole novel cross-link between the N-terminal glycine residues and the engineered tyrosine at position 137 has been characterized. The dimer cross-link is localized to a single site without other protein modifications, but different reaction pathways produce structurally related products. We propose a mechanism that involves covalent bond formation between the protein backbone and a dopaquinone moiety derived from a specific tyrosine residue. This finding establishes that it is not necessary to have two tyrosine residues within close proximity in the protein interface to obtain high protein cross-linking yields, and suggests that the cross-linking reagent may be of more general utility than previously thought.

Abstract
Although the ionization/desorption mechanisms in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) remain poorly understood, there is a clear difference between the energy absorption processes in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) modes of operation. UV-MALDI demands an on-resonance electronic transition in the matrix compound, whereas results presented here support earlier work showing that a corresponding resonant vibrational transition is not a requirement for IR-MALDI. In fact, data from the present study suggest that significant absorption of radiant energy by a potential matrix impairs its performance, although this observation is at variance with some other reports. For example, sinapinic acid, with an IR absorption maximum close to the 2.94 micrometer wavelength of the Er-YAG laser, has been little used as an IR-MALDI matrix. By contrast, succinic acid, with much lower IR absorption and no history of use in UV-MALDI as it has no UV absorption at the wavelength of common UV lasers, has become widely recognized as a good general purpose matrix for IR-MALDI. Despite reports by others that glycerol is an effective matrix for IR-MALDI, we find that glycerol, which also absorbs strongly at 2.94 micrometer, is useful only if applied as a very thin film. Thus the cumulative evidence for the role of the matrix in IR-MALDI appears confusing and often contradictory. Water has been postulated to be a major contributor to the absorption of energy in IR-MALDI. Consistent with this, we find that samples dried from D(2)O, which does not absorb at 2.94 micrometer, give spectra of inferior quality compared with the same samples from H(2)O. Similarly, samples dried under vacuum, that probably contain less water than those dried in the open laboratory, give weaker and more erratic spectra. Another potential participant in energy absorption and energy transfer is the surface of the metal support, an alternative mechanism for IR-MALDI, for which some evidence is presented here.
