Abstract
A simple, low-cost, expedient method has been developed for identification of proteins isolated from two-dimensional (2D) gels. The method described uses a disposable on-line clean-up device, a syringe infusion pump and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The on-line clean-up and concentrating device is a tapered capillary column filled with 1.5 cm of 5 microm C18 particles. The short column was easily prepared and was connected directly to the ESI source through a low-flow ESI sprayer. Peptides resulting from enzymatic digestion of proteins were eluted from the short column isocratically using a syringe infusion pump and analyzed by ESI-MS. This simple set-up was found useful in the analysis of proteins isolated from 2D gels. Compared to the more conventional micro-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (microLC/MS/MS), this method can identify proteins rapidly without the need for an HPLC pump and removes the problem of cross-contamination caused by system carryover. These advantages make the method described competitive with conventional LC/MS even though the latter method gives slightly expanded sequence coverage.
