A new method for on-plate protein digestion and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry analysis is proposed involving an automated one-step sample separation using nanoflow HPLC followed by nanoliter fraction collection and on-plate digestion with trypsin. This procedure uses a commercial automatic nanoliter fraction collection system for on-line spotting of the eluent onto a MALDI target. After protein digestion, the reaction is stopped by the addition of acidified matrix using the same automated system. Collected spots are subsequently analyzed using a MALDI tandem time-of-flight (TOF/TOF) mass spectrometer for protein sequencing and identification.
提出了一种用于板上蛋白质消化和基质辅助激光解吸/电离(MALDI)质谱分析的新方法,该方法涉及使用纳流高效液相色谱(nanoflow HPLC)进行自动一步样品分离,随后进行纳升级分收集以及用胰蛋白酶进行板上消化。此程序使用商业自动纳升级分收集系统将洗脱液在线点样到MALDI靶板上。蛋白质消化后,使用同一自动系统加入酸化基质来终止反应。随后使用MALDI串联飞行时间(TOF/TOF)质谱仪对收集的斑点进行分析,以进行蛋白质测序和鉴定。
