Abstract
Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
Steps
The data acquisition by LC-MS/MS was adapted from a published procedure
Derived peptides were resuspended in a loading buffer
(0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, TFA) and separated on a Water's Charged Surface
Hybrid (CSH) column (150 µm internal diameter x 15 cm; particle size: 1.7 µm).
The samples were run on an EVOSEP liquid chromatography system using the 15
samples per day preset gradient (88 min) and were monitored on a Q-Exactive
Plus Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Scientific).
The mass spectrometer cycle was programmed to collect one full MS scan followed by 20
data-dependent MS/MS scans. The MS scans (400-1600 m/z range, 3 x 166
AGC target, 100 ms maximum ion time) were collected at a resolution of 70,000
at m/z 200 in profile mode.
The HCD MS/MS spectra (1.6 m/z isolation width, 28%
collision energy, 1 x 155 AGC target, 100 ms maximum ion time) were
acquired at a resolution of 17,500 at m/z 200. Dynamic exclusion was set to
exclude previously sequenced precursor ions for 30 seconds. Precursor ions with
+1, and +7, +8, or higher charge states were excluded from sequencing.
