Title: An integrated top-down and bottom-up strategy for broadly characterizing protein isoforms and modifications

We present an integrated top-down and bottom-up approach facilitated by concurrent liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis and fraction collection for comprehensive high-throughput intact protein profiling. The approach employs high resolution reversed phase (RP) LC separations coupled on-line with a 12T Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) spectrometer to profile and tentatively identify modified proteins, using detected intact protein masses in conjunction with bare protein identifications from the bottom-up analysis of the same fraction. Selected identifications are incorporated into a target ion list for subsequent offline gas phase fragmentation that uses only an aliquot of the original fraction used for bottom-up analysis.
