A number of different procedures have been developed for use with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI/MS) for the analysis of non-covalent protein-protein complexes. These include use of specific matrix and laser combinations, accumulation of "first shot" spectra, mo

β¦ Synopsis
A rapid method for profiling bacterial mil cellular proteins has been developed using a combination of capillary high-performance liquid chromatography separation followed by (MALDI-MS) matrix-assisted laser desorptionl ionization mass spectrometric analysis. In this method, bacteria are sonicated, the cell walls broken, and the water-soluble proteins precipitated for analysis. The proteins are separated by capillary liquid chromatography and detected on-line by a UV absorption detector. The eluents are then collected for off-line analysis by MALDI-MS. Using this method, it is demonstrated that bacteria can be discriminated based upon their protein profiles to the species level with only pmol level detection of proteins. It has also proved to be a fast and accurate means for monitoring the expression of Hsp27 in an insect cell system.
