Eliminate•drugs?• intensity in the mass spectrum• adducts?• matches with obviously inconsistent retention times
Example: feature with m/z 733.56 is unlikely to be a phospholipid if it has a 1-min RT with reverse-phase chromatography.
Look for hits that implicate the same pathway, give those features priority.Look for hits that implicate the same pathway, give those features priority.

What experimental data should be required to constitute a metabolite identification?
• Accurate mass?
• Retention time?
• MS/MS data?
Unlike proteomics, no journals have requirements or guidelines for publication of metabolite identifications.

Retention time will be available from the profiling experiment, however, to obtain MS/MS data for the feature of interest in the research sample typically another experiment is required.
Note: Only need to perform MS/MS on one research sample. Pick a sample from the group for which the feature is up-regulated!
