Compared to traditional collision induced dissociation methods, electron capture dissociation (ECD) provides more comprehensive characterization of large peptides and proteins as well as preserves labile post-translational modifications. However, ECD experiments are generally restricted to the high magnetic fields of FTICR-MS that enable the reaction of large polycations and electrons. Here, we demonstrate the use of an electromagnetostatic ECD cell to perform ECD and hybrid ECD methods utilizing 193 nm photons (ECuvPD) or collisional activation (EChcD) in a benchtop quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer…and were packed in-house with 3 µm 300 AÌŠ C2 [BMEB2-5-300] reversed phase resin (Separation Methods Technologies, INC., Newark, DE). mAb IdeS digest (0.1 μg) was loaded onto the trap column and washed for 10 min at 5 µL/min with 1% mobile phase B…READ MORE HERE
Top-down proteomics, the analysis of intact proteins in their endogenous form, preserves valuable information about post-translation modifications, isoforms and proteolytic processing. The quality of top-down liquid chromatography–tandem MSMS (LCLC-MSMS/MSMS) data sets is rapidly increasing on account of advances in instrumentation and sample-processing protocols. However, top-down mass spectra are substantially more complex than conventional bottom-up data…The analytical column was prepared in house by slurry packing 3 µm diameter C2 [BMEB C2] stationary phase (Separation Methods Technology, Newark, Delaware) into a 50 cm length of 360 µm o.d. × 100 µm i.d. fused silica capillary column…
