Title: On-line capillary isoelectric focusing-electrospray mass spectrometry for protein characterization

Conference ·
OSTI ID:539073

The integration of capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) with electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) as a two-dimensional separation system for protein characterization will be presented. Mixtures of protein variants are focused and cathodically mobilized in a polyacrylamide coated capillary. At the end of CIEF capillary, the mobilized protein zones are analyzed by mass spectrometry coupled on-line to an electrospray interface with a coaxial sheath flow configuration. The effects of carrier ampholyte concentration on the CIEF separation and the protein electrospray mass spectra will be discussed. On-line CIEF-ESMS with superior resolving power, speed, and sensitivity will be demonstrated for the analysis of hemoglobin and glycoprotein variants.
