  2. Outline • Proteomics • Mass Spectrometry • Protein Identification • Peptide Mass Fingerprint • Tandem Mass Spectrometry

  3. Proteomics • Proteins are the machines that drive much of biology • Genes are merely the recipe • The direct characterization of a sample’s proteins en masse. • What proteins are present? • How much of each protein is present?

  4. Protein separation Molecular weight (MW) Isoelectric point (pI) Staining Birds-eye view of protein abundance 2D Gel-Electrophoresis

  5. 2D Gel-Electrophoresis Bécamel et al., Biol. Proced. Online 2002;4:94-104.

  6. Paradigm Shift • Traditional protein chemistry assay methods struggle to establish identity. • Identity requires: • Specificity of measurement (Precision) • Mass spectrometry • A reference for comparison (Measurement → Identity) • Protein sequence databases

  7. Sample + _ Detector Ionizer Mass Analyzer Mass Spectrometer • ElectronMultiplier(EM) • Time-Of-Flight (TOF) • Quadrapole • Ion-Trap • MALDI • Electro-SprayIonization (ESI)

  33. Peptide Identification Given: • The mass of the precursor ion, and • The MS/MS spectrum Output: • The amino-acid sequence of the peptide

  34. Peptide Identification Two paradigms: • De novo interpretation • Sequence database search

  40. De Novo Interpretation

  41. De Novo Interpretation …from Lu and Chen (2003), JCB 10:1

  42. De Novo Interpretation • Find good paths in spectrum graph • Can’t use same peak twice • Forbidden pairs: NP-hard • “Nested” forbidden pairs: Dynamic Prog. • Simple peptide fragmentation model • Usually many apparently good solutions • Needs better fragmentation model • Needs better path scoring

  43. De Novo Interpretation • Amino-acids have duplicate masses! • Incomplete ladders create ambiguity. • Noise peaks and unmodeled fragments create ambiguity • “Best” de novo interpretation may have no biological relevance • Current algorithms cannot model many aspects of peptide fragmentation • Identifies relatively few peptides in high-throughput workflows

  44. Sequence Database Search • Compares peptides from a protein sequence database with spectra • Filter peptide candidates by • Precursor mass • Digest motif • Score each peptide against spectrum • Generate all possible peptide fragments • Match putative fragments with peaks • Score and rank

  48. Sequence Database Search • No need for complete ladders • Possible to model all known peptide fragments • Sequence permutations eliminated • All candidates have some biological relevance • Practical for high-throughput peptide identification • Correct peptide might be missing from database!

  49. Peptide Candidate Filtering • Digestion Enzyme: Trypsin • Cuts just after K or R unless followed by a P. • Basic residues (K & R) at C-terminal attract ionizing charge, leading to strong y-ions • “Average” peptide length about 10-15 amino-acids • Must allow for “missed” cleavage sites
