ESI Liquid flow Q or Ion Trap analyzer Atmosphere Low vac. High vac. ESI is a solution technique that gives a continuous stream of ions, best for quadrupoles, ion traps, etc.

  7. ….MALDI or Electrospray ? MALDI is limited to solid state, ESI to liquid ESI is better for the analysis of complex mixture as it is directly interfaced to a separation techniques (i.e. HPLC or CE) MALDI is more “flexible” (MW from 200 to 400,000 Da) Until recently only ESI was available for high quality tandem-MS MALDI is easier to use and maintain

  10. ? ? ? ? A “RESEARCH GRADE” MS (200 to 500 k$) PROVIDES AN ACCURATE MW DETERMINATION:~ 10 ppm (e.g. 1000.0 ± 0.1)

  11. ...don’t forget the “S factors” ACCURACY IS NOT THE ONLY PARAMETER TO BE CONSIDERED IN A MASS SPECTROMETER...

  12. MALDI ESI Sensitivity =femtomole 10-15 M (...attomole 10-18 M) Simplicity= very easy training required $$$= 70 to 650 k$ 120 to 650 k$ Speed (high throughput)= ~104/day dynamic system Selectivity(resolution) = >5000 Structural information = MS/MS MSn Software= “ ...evaluation in progress.”

Ions collide with gas molecules, are slowed down and thermally equilibrated. Pulses are “smeared out” to give a semi-continuous ion current.

Fenn (USA) Virginia Commonwealth University 1/4 to Koichi Tanaka (Japan) Shimadzu. Corp. Kyoto Electrospray Laser Ionization 1//2 of the prize went to Kurt Wutrich (Switzerland) development of NMR analysis

  17. “..other than biochemistry done very, very fast, is not entirely clear to me what proteomics is.” Marvin Cassman, Director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences * C&E News, March 18, 2002 (*) ~90% of the NIH-funded mass spectrometry lab receive grants from NIGMS.

  18. THE ROLE OF MASS SPECTROMETRY IN PROTEOMICS: IDENTIFICATION OF PROTEINS, USUALLY IN COMPLEX MIXTURES ANALYSIS OF POSTRANSLATIONAL AND CHEMICAL MODIFICATIONS DIFFERENTIAL EXPRESSION AND QUANTITATION

  19. 1000 1500 2000 Mass (m/z) Extract peptides; mass analyze Run 2Dgel; stain; scan Excise spot; elute; digest Protein identification 2D-PAGE AND MASS PECTROMETRY...…A PARADIGM IN PROTEOMICS

  20. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES IN PROTEOMICS • SEPARATIONelectrophoresis (1-D, 2-D) chromatography (SEC, ion exchange, reversed phase) • DIGESTIONchemical (BrCN) enzymatic (trypsin,, Lys-C, Asp-C) • reduction(Di-Thio-Threitol, b-Mercapto-Ethanol) • alkylation(IodoAcAcid, IodoAcAmide, Vynil Pyridine) • SAMPLE CLEAN UPchromatography(reversed phase) solid phase extraction(Zip Tip) • MALDI MS ANALYSIS • protein identification (peptide mass fingerprinting) • peptide structural information (post source decay)

  21. 2-D PAGE AND MASS SPECTROMETRY... ...NOT THE IDEAL TECHNIQUE FOR PROTEOMICS: Mass spectrometry improved substantially during the last 10 years... 2D-PAGE still is the most powerful separation technique but has several disadvantages...

  22. DISADVANTAGES OF 2-D PAGE...  Restricted to proteins < 106 and > 104 Da MW  Cannot detect proteins expressed at low levels  Limited to 600~800 separate spots  Gel to gel reproducibility is poor  Quantitation is poor, ± 50% or worse  Dynamic range is limited, < 10X  Analysis is not directly coupled to separation

  23. MS SECOND DIMENSION: e.g. Reversed Phase Ion-Exchange FIRST DIMENSION: e.g. Size Exclusion, Ion-Exchange MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SEPARATIONS: AN ALTERNATIVE TO 2-D PAGE In multidimensional chromatography two (or more) techniques with “orthogonal” properties are combined to achieve higher separation power.

  24. HYBRID 2-D SEPARATION: IEF-HPLC Sample: E. coli extract First dimension: y-axes IEF (Biorad rotofor) Second dimension: x-axes IEF fractions separated by HPLC (reversed phase C-18) Lecchi et. al. JBBM june 2003

  26. H H R-CN-R’ peptide bond protein O O Proteolytic* enzyme H2O N-R’ R-C-OH + (proteolytic fragments) H Enzymatic digestion *Some proteolytic enzymes are very specific, e.g.: trypsin cuts only at Lys-X or Arg-X Lys-C Lys-X Arg-C Arg-X Glu-C (V-8) Glu-X and Asp-X

  27. Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF) MS analysis of proteolytic fragments is a common way to identify a protein. The following masses are entered in a database for protein identification: 737.99 - 874.44 - 936.48 - 1030.65 - 1047.06 - 1153.67 - 1269.76 - 1428.85 1536.76 - 1676.97 - 1808.06 - 1862.99 - 2163.26 - 2274.28 Low MW peaks (e.g. < 500 Da) are not generally used because of the high interference of the matrix.

  28. Database search for protein identification

  29. PROTEINS 200,000 GENES 35,000 TRYPTIC PEPTIDES 4,000,000 “IS NOT JUST ABOUT ‘SEPARATION POWER” THERE IS A HUGE DYNAMIC RANGE OF PROTEIN EXPRESSION (12 orders of magnitude) AN IDEAL METHOD SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND QUANTIFY PROTEINS WHOSE EXPRESSION LEVELS CHANGE 1 peptide/sec = ~46 days

  30. “Proteomics is knowing the structure and function of all proteins from all organisms…that is not possible. We need to be more selective”. George Kenyon, University of Michigan. In his opening remark at the meeting: “Defining the Mandate of Proteomics in the Post-Genomic Era”. National Academies, Washington DC, March 2002.
