Metabolomics has a critical need for better tools for mass spectral identification. Common metabolites may be identified by searching libraries of tandem mass spectra, which offers important advantages over other approaches to identification. But tandem libraries are not nearly complete enough to represent the full molecular diversity present in complex biological samples. We present a novel hybrid search method that can help identify metabolites not in the library by similarity to compounds that are. We call it hybrid searching because it combines conventional, direct peak matching with the logical equivalent of neutral-loss matching. A successful hybrid search requires the library to contain cognates of the unknown: similar compounds with a structural difference confined to a single region of the molecule, that does not substantially alter its fragmentation behavior. We demonstrate that the hybrid search is highly likely to find similar compounds under such circumstances.
