E N D
OBJECTIVES • To become familiar with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) • To become familiar with contemporary protein identification approaches • To identify unknown proteins from collected samples by peptide mass fingerprinting, using mass spectral data of tryptic peptides for database querying
What is mass spectrometry ? Most accurate technique available to determine the mass of an analyte (proteins, peptides, small molecules)
What is mass spectrometry ? Ion Source Mass Analyzer Detector Simple schematic of a mass spectrometer
Basics of mass spectrometry • Determination of mass to charge ratio (m/z) – note in MALDI-TOF MS, the charge is 1 so we essentially determine mass (i.e. m/1) • Components of MS - ionization and entrance to gas phase - ion (peptide) separation - mass analysis
Output from MS -mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) ratio of exact mass to net charge For example: 802 m/z ion (z=1; +1 charged) = 802 amu 500 m/z ion (z=2; +2 charged) = 1000 amu 327 m/z ion (z=3; +3 charged) = ???? amu

RESOLUTION • How well two ions can be separated • Good resolution essential to distinguishing isotopes • Resolution usually decreases as the mass of the analyte increases

Soft-ionization methodsfor proteomics • MALDI • In MALDI-TOF MS, ionization occurs when the laser hits the sample • Electrospray • In electrospray, ionization occurs in the liquid as it exits a spray needle
MALDI = Matrix-AssistedLaser Desorption / Ionization • analyte is dried with matrix on target • matrix: CHCA, DHB, sinapinic acid • matrix absorbs laser energy and transfers to analyte • generates predominantly singly-charged ions
