摘要: Analysis of tryptic digests proteins using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry commonly results in superior detection arginine-containing peptides compared with lysine-containing counterparts. The effect is attributable part to the greater stability peptide ions associated sequestration single ionizing proton on arginine side-chain. Reaction O-methylisourea resulted conversion lysine homoarginine residues consequent improved during MALDI-MS. underivatized digest yeast protein, enolase, revealed representing 20% protein; corresponding figure after derivatization was 46%.
