Abstract:
An improved method for sample preparation for MALDI-MS and MS/MS using AnchorChip targets is presented. The method, termed the SMW method (sample, matrix wash), results in better sensitivity for peptide mass fingerprinting as well as for sequencing by MS/MS than previously published methods. The method allows up-concentration and desalting directly on the mass spectrometric target and should be amenable for automation. A draw back caused by extensive oxidation of methionine and tryptophan in the SMW method can be alleviated by the addition of n-octyl glucopyranoside and DTT to the sample solution. The method was validated for protein identification from a 2-DE based liver proteome study. The SMW method resulted in identification of many more proteins and in most cases with a better score than the previously published methods.
