18-Crown-6 ether (18C6) is evaluated as a shift reagent for multidimensional ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-IMS-MS) analyses of tryptic protein digests. In this approach, 18C6 is spiked into the solution-phase mixture and noncovalent peptide-crown ion complexes are formed by electrospraying the mixture into the gas phase. After an initial mobility separation in the first IMS drift region, complexes of similar mobility are selected and dissociated via collisional activation prior to entering the second drift region. These dissociation products (including smaller complexes, naked peptide ions, charge transfer products, and fragment ions) differ in mobility from their precursor ion complexes and (in favorable cases) from one another, allowing the mixture to resolve further in the second IMS region. We estimate an IMS-IMS peak capacity of ～2400 when shift reagents are employed. The approach is illustrated by examining a tryptic digest of cytochrome c and by identifying a peptide out of a complex mixture obtained by digestion of human plasma proteins. Disadvantages arising from increased complexity of data sets as well as other advantages of this approach are considered.

Back to basics: Coupled with MALDI-TOF MS, laser-assisted proteolysis (see schematic illustration) enabled rapid protein digestion and peptide mapping without the need for enzyme immobilization to increase the efficiency of tryptic digestion. Protein solutions containing trypsin were digested in less than a minute upon irradiation at 808 nm with a laser.

The sampling, ionization and detection of tryptic peptides separated in one-dimension on reversed-phase high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) plates was performed using liquid microjunction surface sampling probe electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Tryptic digests of five proteins [cytochrome c, myoglobin, beta-casein, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA)] were spotted on reversed phase HPTLC RP-8 F254s and HPTLC RP-18 F254s plates. The plates were then developed using 70/30 methanol/water with 0.1 M ammonium acetate. A dual purpose extraction/electrospray solution containing 70/30/0.1 water/methanol/formic acid was infused through the sampling probe during analysis of the developed lanes. Both full scan mass spectra and data dependent tandem mass spectra were acquired for each development lane to detect and verify the peptide distributions. Data dependent tandem mass spectra provided both protein identification and sequence coverage information. Highest sequence coverages were achieved for cytochrome c and myoglobin (62.5% and 58.3%, respectively) on reversed phase RP-8 plates. While the tryptic peptides were separated enough for identification, the peptide bands did show some overlap with most peptides located in the lower half of the development lane. Proteins whose peptides were more separated gave higher sequence coverage. Larger proteins such as beta-casein and BSA which were spotted in lower relative amounts gave much lower sequence coverage than the smaller proteins. US Government 2009 All rights reserved.
