Identification of proteins separated by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization ion trap mass spectrometry; comparison with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass fingerprinting.
2003
Digests from ten gel bands containing low abundance proteins were analyzed by both matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization ion trap (MALDI-IT) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) methods. MALDI-TOF techniques were able to identify only one protein from all 10 gel bands, while MALDI-IT identified eight proteins from the same 10 bands. The ability to perform MS/MS experiments with a MALDI-IT instrument leads to protein identifications based on both peptide molecular mass and sequence information, and is much less prone to errors and uncertainties introduced by peptide fingerprinting methodologies in which protein identification is based on peptide molecular masses alone.
