Heart-cut nano-LC-CZE-MS for the characterization of proteins on the intact level.
Electrophoresis 40, 1061-1065 (2019)
Multidimensional separation techniques play an increasingly important role in separation science, especially for the analysis of complex samples such as proteins. The combination of reversed-phase liquid chromatography in the nanoscale and CZE is especially beneficial due to their nearly orthogonal separation mechanism and well-suited geometries/dimensions. Here, a heart-cut nano-LC-CZE-MS setup was developed utilizing for the first time a mechanical 4-port valve as LC-CE interface. A model protein mixture containing four different protein species was first separated by nano LC followed by a heart-cut transfer of individual LC peaks and subsequent CZE-MS analysis. In the CZE dimension, various glycoforms of one protein species were separated. Improved separation capabilities were achieved compared to the 1D methods, which was exemplarily shown for ribonuclease B and its different glycosylated forms. LODs in the lower mu g/mL range were determined, which are considerably lower compared to traditional CZE-MS. In addition, this study represents the first application of an LC-CE-MS system for intact protein analysis. The nano-LC-CZE-MS system is expected to be applicable to various other analytical challenges.
