ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the analysis of complex protein mixtures such as entire proteomes, and in particular the rapid detection of previously unknown or unusually expressed proteins by common enzymatic digestion, subsequent chromatographic separation and analysis of the digestion peptides by mass spectrometry. The invention consists in subjecting fractions of the digestion peptides separated by liquid chromatography to analysis by mass spectrometry, at a time other than that of the chromatography, in a tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometer with ionization by matrix assisted laser desorption (MALDI). This method finds many times more proteins than are found through the procedures predominantly used until now of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with subsequent time-of-flight mass spectrometry. It also removes the time pressure that dominates the real-time analysis of coupled LC-MS processes, and it allows measurements to be reduced to the interesting proteins by intermediate analysis.
