Summary

Peptide loss in proteomics is reduced by using polar vial materials and nonionic detergents. These methods improve protein quantification and increase identified peptides, especially for low-quantity samples like single-cell proteomics.

Area of Science:

  • Proteomics
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Peptide adsorption to polypropylene vials causes significant loss, particularly for hydrophobic peptides.
  • This loss impacts protein quantification accuracy, especially in low-volume samples.
  • Current methods lack strategies to mitigate peptide adsorption during sample handling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate peptide adsorption onto vial surfaces and its impact on proteomics.
  • To identify vial materials and buffer additives that minimize peptide loss.
  • To improve proteomic data quality and consistency, particularly for low-input samples.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of different vial materials (PP, PMMA, PET) for peptide adsorption.
  • Testing nonionic detergents (PEO, DDM) as additives to reduce peptide-surface binding.
  • Quantification of peptide signal and identification of proteins using Label-Free Quantification (LFQ).

Main Results:

  • Polar vial materials (PMMA, PET) significantly reduced hydrophobic peptide loss compared to PP.
  • Nonionic detergents (PEO, DDM) at optimized concentrations enhanced proteomic performance and consistency.
  • Recommendations led to a 10-fold increase in peptide signal for low-input digests and enabled detection in single-cell proteomics.

Conclusions:

  • Utilizing polar vial materials and specific nonionic detergents is crucial for minimizing peptide loss in proteomics.
  • These strategies substantially improve proteomic data quality and enable reliable analysis of low-input samples.
  • The findings offer practical solutions for enhancing proteomics workflows, including single-cell applications.
