摘要:
According to the present invention, a matrix reagent prepared by adding methylenediphosphonic acid (MDPNA) having two phosphonic acid groups as an additive to a matrix of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) is used for the preparation of a sample. By using the sample according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve a higher peak intensity of phosphopeptide as compared with a sample in which DHBA is solely used as a matrix without using an additive, or a sample in which phosphoric acid (PA) is used as an additive in addition to DHBA. Further, use of the sample according to the present invention enables the detection of peptides that cannot be detected in a case of the phosphoric acid-added sample.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method for specifically recovering a C-terminal peptide fragment, and a method for easily determining the sequence of a C-terminal peptide fragment, which is difficult to be determined by a conventional method, with the use of a mass spectrometer, in particular a method capable of de novo sequencing of a C-terminal peptide fragment. A method for selectively recovering a C-terminal peptide of a protein, comprising the steps of: in a cleavage product of a protein containing a C-terminal peptide fragment (A) having an α-amino group but not having an ε-amino group and the other peptide fragments (B) having an α-amino group and an ε-amino group, selectively modifying the α-amino groups to obtain a C-terminal peptide fragment modified (A′) and the other peptide fragments modified (B′); and separating the C-terminal peptide fragment modified (A′) from the modified cleavage product by allowing a carrier to hold the other peptide fragments modified (B′) via the ε-amino group. A method for determining the amino acid sequence of a C-terminal peptide of a protein, comprising the steps of: selectively recovering a C-terminal peptide of a protein by the above method; and determining the amino acid sequence by subjecting a recovered C-terminal peptide fragment to mass spectrometry measurement.
