New on-bead digestion for LC-MS applications for proteomic studies
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ.– Biotech Support Group LLC introduces a new on-bead digestion for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) applications for proteomic studies. We have demonstrated that the NuGel™ silica-based supports perform optimally when using tryptic digestion of the bound proteins, prior to LC-MS analysis; most commonly called “on-bead digestion” in the literature. Key benefits of on-bead digestion are much simpler workflows, eliminates elution, no precipitations, shorter preparation time.
Equivalent or better peptide recovery, compared to elution protocol:
of peptides, Elution 8398 vs. # of peptides, On-Bead 10132
Quality control for the peptides: On left is the standard AlbuVoid™ elution protocol followed by tryptic digestion and LC-MS/MS peptide analysis. On right, using equivalent operating parameters, the on-bead digestion protocol generates comparable peptide output.
AlbuVoid™ On-Bead Digestion Protocol
- After the final wash steps from AlbuVoid™ protocol step 7, add 100 µls of 5 mM DTT solution to the beads for
complete immersion, mix and incubate at 60°C for ½ hour. - After cooling, add 100 µls of 25 mM iodoacetamide to the DTT/bead suspension, mix and incubate in the dark for 1 hour.
- Centrifuge at 5000xg (medium setting, not max) for 3 mins, and discard filtrate. Transfer the filter slurry of beads, DTT and iodoacetamide to a clean Eppendorf tube.
- On-bead digestion is done by adding 100 µls of a 0.025 ug/uL solution of MS-grade. Trypsin to the beads. Digest overnight at 37°C.
- Centrifuge at 5000xg (medium setting, not max) for 3 mins, and retain peptide filtrate.
- To further extract remaining peptides, add 100 µls of 10% solution of formic acid to the beads.
- Incubate for 15 minutes at 37°C, centrifuge at 5000xg (medium setting, not max) for 3 mins, and add this volume to the first volume.
- Reduce to a final volume of 100 µls using a SpeedVac and store at -80 °C until LC-MS/MS.
