ABSTRACT: | ||
Recent advances in peptide fragmentation techniques and mass spectrometry have opened up the possibility of combining peptide separation techniques, such as capillary electrophoresis and capillary liquid chromatography, with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and electron capture dissociation in order to characterise peptide mixtures and protein digests. The results presented in this study show that CE/ECD-FTICR MS can be employed for peptide characterisation in mixtures of standard peptides and peptides resulting from the enzymatic digestion of proteins. Furthermore, the technique has potential for the identification and localisation of post-translational modifications in peptides and proteins. | ||
