Abstract

We have developed a simple and effective means of using alkylammonium ion‐pairing agents, such as cetyltetramethylammonium bromide, to recover matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric (MALDI‐MS) signals from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)‐containing protein and peptide samples. A two‐layer method of matrix preparation, with a bottom matrix layer of ion‐pairing agents and a top matrix layer of SDS protein samples, is essential for reproducible MALDI mass spectra with good recovery. Both buffer ions and ion‐pairing agents have profound effects on signal recovery and can be rapidly and systematically optimized. This practical technique, termed ion‐pair assisted recovery (IPAR), is compatible with major SDS‐based biotechniques and can be easily incorporated into high‐throughput proteomic analysis.

Consecutive enzymatic reactions on analytes affinity-bound to immobilized metal ion beads with subsequent direct analysis of the products by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry have been used for detecting protein synthesis errors occuring at the N-terminus.
