Fig. 2

LipidCreator uses an internal knowledge base that stores information about lipids and their fragments. This information is assembled based on the user’s selection of lipid classes and additional parameters from the two main levels, the precursor and fragment level. Then, LipidCreator combines the user’s selection with information about lipid classes, precursors, backbones, fatty acyl chains, lipid fragments and information on isotope labels and forwards it to the transition layer for targeted assay generation. The downstream filter layer then applies collision-energy models to the generated transitions, if either automatic CE optimization or manual CE mode are enabled. The final export layer generates the final transition lists and spectral libraries and either stores them locally or transmits them directly to Skyline.
