Isotopomers or isotopic isomers are isomers with isotopic atoms, having the same number of each isotope of each element but differing in their positions. The result is that the molecules are either constitutional isomers or stereoisomers solely based on isotopic location. For example, CH₃CHDCH₃ and CH₃CH₂CH₂D are a pair of constitutional isotopomers of propane. (R)- and (S)-CH₃CHDOH or (Z)- and (E)-CH₃CH=CHD are examples of isotopic stereoisomers of ethanol and of propene, respectively. The term isotopomer was first proposed by Seeman and Paine in 1992 to distinguish isotopic isomers from isotopologues (isotopic homologues).
The invention provides mass spectrometry methods, compositions and systems which enable a unique platform for analyte quantitation accessing very high degrees of multiplexing and accurate quantification, particularly well-suited for a range of quantitative analysis for proteomics applications. Embodiments of the present methods and systems combine isotopic coding agents characterized by very small differences in molecular mass with mass spectrometry methods providing large resolving power to provide relative or absolute analyte quantification in a large number of samples.
