Disulfide bonds are valuable constraints in protein structure modeling. The Cys-Cys disulfide bond undergoes specific fragmentation under CID and, therefore, can be considered as a CID-cleavable crosslink. We have recently reported on the benefits of using non-specific digestion with proteinase K for inter-peptide crosslink determination. Here, we describe an updated application of our CID-cleavable crosslink analysis software and our crosslinking analysis with non-specific digestion methodology for the robust and comprehensive determination of disulfide bonds in proteins, using Orbitrap LC/ESI-MS/MS data.
二硫键是蛋白质结构建模中有价值的限制因素。半胱氨酸-半胱氨酸二硫键在碰撞诱导解离(CID)下会发生特异性断裂,因此可被视为一种可被CID裂解的交联键。我们最近报道了使用蛋白酶K进行非特异性消化以确定肽间交联的益处。在此,我们描述了我们的CID可裂解交联分析软件的更新应用,以及使用非特异性消化方法进行交联分析,以利用轨道阱液相色谱/电喷雾串联质谱(Orbitrap LC/ESI-MS/MS)数据对蛋白质中的二硫键进行可靠而全面的测定。
