Abstract

Off-line miniaturized nanospray formats for electrospray ionization mass spectrometry enable the routine identification of femtomole quantities of protein or peptide. Even greater strides have been achieved using on-line miniaturized nanobore LC-MS/MS. In either off- or on-line methods for protein analysis, samples are typically isolated and digested enzymatically, with MS/MS analysis of the peptide fragments in a bottom-up approach. Biologically relevant (structure/function) information often demands 100% sequence coverage and this may be obtained by the analysis of intact proteins by MS with a top-down methodology. Proteome wide success with LC-MS based methods will require the development of novel miniaturized approaches for sample preparation along with new tools for bioinformatics. As these miniaturized formats continue to power proteomics analysis, cross-over applications in LC-MS will undoubtedly result that range from drug discovery to development.
