Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analyses have been successfully applied in a vast number of examples for precise molecular mass determinations of biomacromolecules such as proteins. In combination with chemical and/or proteolytic derivatization and degradation reactions, MALDI-MS enables the analysis of the primary structural details of proteins such as posttranslational modifications. A well-established methodology for the investigation of partial peptides of proteins is the combination of proteolytic degradation with mass spectrometry (1–3). Hydrolytic cleavage is carried out under conditions such that particular peptide bonds are cleaved with a highly specific protease, e.g., trypsin, hence creating a specific idpeptide map.”
