Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing protein disulfide bond cleavage by UV excitation and electron capture dissociation for top-down mass spectrometry

TL;DR: Ion pre-activation with 266 nm ultraviolet (UV) laser irradiation combined with electron capture dissociation (ECD) is demonstrated to enhance top-down mass spectrometry sequence coverage of disulfide bond containing proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sample introduction and separation in capillary electrophoresis, and combination with mass spectrometric detection.

TL;DR: The interfacing of capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry is described and demonstrated for a range of conditions, with a quaternary phosphonium salt mixture, and the relative advantages of the two techniques discussed are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass spectrometric characterization of transferrins and their fragments derived by reduction of disulfide bonds.

TL;DR: Protein acetylation and MS/MS sequencing demonstrate that the fragment originates from the C-terminus of the protein, and that it is a separate polypeptide linked via three disulfide bonds to the main transferrin chain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radical Directed Dissociation for Facile Identification of Iodotyrosine Residues Using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

TL;DR: A facile method employing photodissociation and mass spectrometry to localize sites of iodination in whole proteins, which yields results in agreement with traditional approaches but requires significantly less effort and is inherently more sensitive.
