Characterization of protein structure modifications is an important field in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Here, we describe a process to quickly and reliably identify a mass change in a targeted protein sequence by top-down mass spectrometry (TD MS) using electron transfer dissociation (ETD). The step-by-step procedure describes how to develop a TD MS method for data acquisition as well as the data analysis process. The described TD MS workflow utilizes diagnostic ions to characterize an unknown sample in a few hours.
蛋白质结构修饰的表征是基于质谱（MS）的蛋白质组学中的一个重要领域。在此，我们描述了一种通过使用电子转移解离（ETD）的自上而下质谱（TD MS）快速可靠地识别目标蛋白质序列中质量变化的方法。该分步程序描述了如何开发用于数据采集的TD MS方法以及数据分析过程。所描述的TD MS工作流程利用诊断离子在几小时内对未知样品进行表征。
