Abstract |
|
The ability to match Top-Down protein sequencing (TDS) results by MALDI-TOF to protein sequences by classical protein database searching was evaluated in this work. Resulting from these analyses were the protein identity, the simultaneous assignment of the N- and C-termini and protein sequences of up to 70 residues from either terminus. In combination with de novo sequencing using the MALDI-TDS data, even fusion proteins were assigned and the detailed sequence around the fusion site was elucidated. MALDI-TDS allowed to efficiently match protein sequences quickly and to validate recombinant protein structures—in particular, protein termini—on the level of undigested proteins.
