Identifying carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) positions in complex lipids is essential for elucidating physiological and pathological processes. Currently, this is impossible in high-throughput analyses of native lipids without specialized instrumentation that compromises ion yields. Here, we demonstrate automated, chain-specific identification of C=C positions in complex lipids based on the retention time derived from routine reverse-phase chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS/MS). We introduce LC=CL, a computational solution that utilizes a comprehensive database capturing the elution profile of more than 2,400 complex lipid species identified in RAW264.7 macrophages, including 1,145 newly reported compounds. Using machine learning, LC=CL provides precise and automated C=C position assignments, adaptable to any suitable chromatographic condition. To illustrate the power of LC=CL, we re-evaluated previously published data and discovered new C=C position-dependent specificity of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). Accordingly, C=C position information is now readily accessible for large-scale high-throughput studies with any MS/MS instrumentation and ion activation method.
